![]() To determine just how fast the new versions of these apps are on M1 machines versus Apple’s computers still running Intel processors, Adobe commissioned Pfeiffer Consulting to benchmark the software on a pair of 13-inch MacBook Pro laptops with 16GB of RAM, with one running on the M1 processor and the other powered by an Intel Core i5.Īs with any study commissioned by a company to extoll the virtues of one of its products, the results should be taken with a grain of salt, but the benchmarking results on average showed an 83.18% speed advantage for the M1 native apps over the older Intel versions running on Intel hardware. ![]() Today, the M1 native versions of Photoshop and Lightroom are being joined by other popular Adobe apps, including Illustrator, InDesign, and Lightroom Classic, which no longer require Rosetta 2 to run on Apple’s latest M1 desktops and laptops. Running the Mac version of Photoshop developed for Intel processors on Apple’s new M1 chip through Rosetta 2 still showed performance improvements (Adobe claimed it was up to 50% faster), but back in March when the M1 native version of Photoshop was finally released, it confirmed that Apple’s in-house silicon was as impressive as the company claimed. That included Adobe, a company that Apple has worked closely with for decades and which is arguably one of the reasons Apple is still around. ![]() Now Adobe has updated a batch of longtime staples that, at least according to Adobe, show impressive performance improvements thanks to Apple silicon.Īpple’s obsession with secrecy meant that when the M1 arrived there was very limited support for software outside of what was available in macOS and the company’s own applications. ![]() Seven months after Apple revealed its homegrown M1 processor, we’re finally starting to see its true potential as more third-party apps arrive with native support.
