"The results of this work yield a benchmark score of around 30,000 for the M1 Max 32core GPU, absolutely obliterating any other single GPU score we have ever measured. This required us to step back and think again about where performance bottlenecks might be, as it's clear the 'old rules' no longer apply. "The new GPU represents an industry reflection point-we now have compute performance surpassing nearly all discrete GPU hardware, but retain the key benefits of unified memory.

Just thought that instead of only venting my frustration, I should also share my positive findings.Serif today announced updates for its popular suite of Affinity creative apps that bring official support for macOS Monterey and optimizations for the new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips powering Apple's latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros.Īccording to Ashley Hewson, managing director of Affinity developer Serif, buyers of the latest MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips will enjoy "stunning speed improvements" when using all three apps: On the same token, all other Universal or Apple Silicon Adobe apps also open and are functional, save for anything having to do with the Creative Cloud, of course.but so far, they are functional enough to work with.

Since macOS 12 will be the first macOS that was conceived specifically for Apple Silicon, and since my MacBook Air M1 (16GB, 2TB) easily outdoes my MacBook Pro 2018 (i9, 32GB, 1TB, 4GB Vega 20) in every way, I decided to use the months ahead of the full macOS 12 release to build a fresh Apple Silicon-only (without Rosetta 2) system on a new APFS container that runs parallel to my Big Sur container, which has Rosetta 2 installed.so, *no* Intel apps at all.Īfter bitching about not being able to run the Adobe apps which are already compiled for Apple Silcon, I - by accident - ran into the happy fact that while booted into the macOS 12 Beta container, opening a PSD file opened Photoshop 2021 Universal from my Big Sur complained about a missing preference file, but that was easily remedied by copying the Adobe folder from Big Sur/ Application Support to Monterey/Application Support.
Thanks for the dry response, John.you're right, I didn't realize that this forum isn't the right one for the type of comment I made above.I am also in the beta program, which is why I was frustrated that this doesn't seem to be addressed.īut as luck would have it, I just discovered a way to get by until is being addressed, and would like to share it with the community in case someone else is in a similar situation as I am: Please, Adobe, don't make me learn a new Affinity-based workflow just to bridge the time! Yes, I know that PS now is so deeply tied into the CC ecosystem, as are all the other 2021 apps, that CC is required to make the collaborative features work, but that being tha case, what is the timeline on CC becoming native?

Why the hold-out on the one app that ties it all together? Or if that is can of worms that is way more complex than non-programmers like me can fathom (and it probably is, with all that the Creative Cloud app now does), then why not give us a means to install individual apps like Photoshop directly, without first having to install CC? I have decided to keep it all native, and since it is installed without Rosetta 2 by default (and asks you to install Rosetta every time you try to install or run a non-native app), I'd like to keep it this way.īut rather than having to resort to Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher while I am developing in macOS 12, I'd really like to keep using my familar Creative Cloud apps, especialy since they are, basically, capable of running. The answer is: I just set up a separate AFPS container that I am testing the new macOS 12 Beta on (which also works amazingly well for a beta, maybe better than any other firt beta I have used over the past 10 years).part of the reason why macOS 12 works so well already, I think, is that it is the first version of macOS specifically written for Apple Silicon.
You might ask why I'd be reluctant to install Rosetta 2, esepcially since it has shown to work extremely well. With that said, I am overjoyed that by now, Photoshop is native, amongst others, and many more working very well in their beta form.īut why in the world would Adobe be behind on providing us with an M1-native version of the Creative Cloud app, without which none of the other native versions can be installed *without* installing Rosetta 2? The M1's performance has been nothing short of mindblowing to me. I was very excited when Apple rolled out Apple Silocon and mentioned Adobe amongst the first adopters of this paradigm shift in personal computing. If this has been discussed elsewhere, I apologie and ask that you move my post accordingly:
