Key line:
Until now, TensorFlow has only utilized the CPU for training on Mac. The new tensorflow_macos fork of TensorFlow 2.4 leverages ML Compute to enable machine learning libraries to take full advantage of not only the CPU, but also the GPU in both M1- and Intel-powered Macs for dramatically faster training performance.
So, looks like it's faster on both Intel & M1, but the M1 MBP has a much faster GPU than the Intel MBP

- roughly 6y agoCorrect - I’d guess this is Not using the neural engine. I don’t know enough about that hardware to hazard a guess about how easy it would be to get that part of the chip involved.
