Most recently, we saw Passmark place Apple’s M1, M1 Pro and M1 Mac chips in the top four positions of its performance benchmark charts. We’ve also seen some additional benchmark figures leak that suggest the kinds of speed and performance benefits Apple professionals can expect from these machines. MacBook Pro at present, and while I’m not ready to write the review, I can say the battery life and computational performance it is delivering is phenomenal.) Performance machine, Apple's 'big beast' (I’m lucky enough to be working with a new 16-in. That shared story means you can consider it a barometer for Mac performance. With a 30-year history on Mac, Painter is one of those unique applications to have gone through three major processor transitions with Apple. It was on the original AIM Alliance Macs, made it to the Intel Macs, and now it’s running on M-series Macs. That’s significant, but potentially much more so for digital creatives considering an investment in an all-new MacBook Pro. Apple has told us what to expect from those machines, which are equipped with M1 Pro and M1 Max processors.

Users can also expect the software to run twice as fast when compared to Intel-based Macs.

Users can expect overall brush engine performance that is up to 4.7x faster on Macs with M1 chips compared to running on the same Mac using Rosetta 2.

Corel, which tested its software on an entry-level 2020 MacBook Pro with an M1 chip and an Intel-based 2019 MacBook Pro, highlighted two key metrics:
