Buying a Mac Studio. Good Folder?

No, that is not normal if you have an active passkey and fold 24x7.

I have a 16c/32t mac pro, usually running cpus:16.
My points vary widely, but ~400k ppd is common.

I have an M1 Mac Studio - M1 Max 32GB memory running 13.3. I average 262K PPD. With my Cores set to 0 (ie managed by FAHControl) - I averaged 31K per day. The moment I changed my Cores count under slots manually to 8 - rocketed up to the current figure. Power set to full - my CPU cores average sits at around 141 degrees F. Speed-wise there is no meaningful impact on my day to day usage.

I have a intel 2019 MacPro, with 12core xeon W processor, and I am only seeing ppd of 43044, with the cpu set at 23.
Does is that normal? I have a passkey in the client.

Definitely looks low to me...I get about 60K ppd on a 2014 iMac 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5. Check your FAHControl settings.
