M1 Mac Mini, Mac Studio - Universal Binary - Peformance?

[wim (Wim Dekeyser)]

Hi -

@encephalon

Does anybody have a M1 Mac Mini and has tested if the now available Universal Binary brought any performance improvement and makes working maybe including TestMetal possible without having to look back in vain?

As far as I understand, the performance gains will come from improvements in the Metal display pipeline; not from native support for Apple Silicon.

RhinoWIP: Universal App: Apple Silicon and Intel

The RhinoWIP for Mac is now a Universal app, which means that it runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs… [Screen Shot 2022-03-01 at 1.55.24 PM] You may notice faster launch times, but otherwise Rhino and Grasshopper should run normally. With massive changes like this, bugs creep in, so please report them as you see them. PS: This is a separate issue from display performance improvements due to Metal.
