Hey, I recently started using Roastime 4 on my MacBook Air m3. The first roasts it dropped over 50% power in under an hour. The Power usage was almost maxed out but Cpu + Ram was not running high (meaning 25% Cpu + 5gb of Ram in use). My MacBook also got really hot. When I was checking there was one Task running very high on battery usage (Roastime Helper (Renderer)).
How are ur experiences using a MacBook, do you maybe have the same issues??
We build the application on an intel chip which means your M3 would be running via rosetta. Not sure if related to something there? I don’t have an M chip mac so it is not officially tested on it.
building it on an intel is really outdated, as RT4 is not too old 
will there be an updated and optimized version for contemporary hardware? I mean Apple Chips are here for >3 years …
Not on the roadmap now, but eventually. The problem here is:
-
Most macs still run on intel chips.
-
Building on an m series macbook is not backward compatible whereas the opposite is.
-
Most CI platforms do not provide M series chips for building and we haven’t seen a need to invest in an M series machine just for building as of now.
