Will AC23 have Radeon ProRender (which has been integrated in Cinema4D since R19)?

Seen the weak support of 3rd party render engines, that would be a very welcome nice-to-have!

I downloaded it and it’s amazing.
So much quicker to render not to mention the animation (although a little cheesy) but the ease of use and real-time adjustments are a real joy. If you are not downloading this and taking advantage you are missing out.

Not much here for smaller firms. The bulk of these "Major" upgrades are for larger architecture firms. Hopefully they have not announced everything added into AC 23 and these are just the major bullet points aimed at appeasing larger practices! It's clear that we should only expect small incremental improvements since GS has fully adopted a yearly release cycle. That said, based solely on the announced new features, buying the yearly maintenance contract seems like a pretty poor value at this point, especially for small to medium sized firms who cannot take advantage of volume pricing.

Whilst seemingly at the expense of modelling improvements for the smaller practices & sole practitioners, it is a wise move by Graphisoft: ArchiCAD must be as useful to as many people - directly & indirectly - as possible in order to hold its own against the behemoths of Revit & Bentley.
