I have bought an iMac (last model 2015 with Core i5 "Skylake" series 6000 + graphic card AMD Radeon R9 M395 2048 Mo) and it seems to have a big problem: crash and kernel panic when using Keyshot !
I have isolated problem (don't come from graphic processor, not a incompatibility with other software etc...) and it seems it was a bug of this series of processor : https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/intel-skylake-bug-causes-pcs-to-freeze-during-complex-workloads/

So, Apple changed my iMac for a Core i7 (and I had to pay for that) and, even if fans are in maximum speed when using Keyshot, I no longer had problem of kernel panic for the moment...

Is anyone has the same problem ?
Apple doesn't recognize officially this problem of processor and never fixed it. So, careful if you want to use Keyshot with a Mac, Don't buy a Core i5!
