Hi, thinking about going from my M2 16GB Ram to one of these M6 Mac's with 32GB Ram & a 512 SSD, I bought the M2 three years ago and it's done well but cannot run DXO PL 9 when any AI is used (very sluggish), Lightroom runs well alongside DXO pure raw 6.
Anyone upgraded or purchased the M6 model like to give there thoughts on it's performance as far as photo editing goes, yes lots of video's on YouTube some give it high praise others not so much but all out to make a few quid on the side where here it's an honest opinion. Thanks in advance, Russ.
 
Sorry I can't answer your question but I can say I am running Affinity (1), DXO PL5 and LRC 15.6 with no issues on my M1 iMac with 8GB RAM.
I can run files between LRC & PL5 without issues and when LRC uses Ai for denoise or something there is only minimal delay.
I run from the base 250GB SSD and link to 2 x 2TB external SSD's.

Those specifications should be easily good enough to run for instance AI masking in PL. Generally AI doesn't rely on normal ram. It's more to do with vram in the graphics card/GPU. The Mac mini doesn't have a graphics card in the usual sense. But it draws down ram (i.e. from your 32 GB) to power the GPU. Very clever design.
