> To date, I haven’t heard anyone saying Lightroom is significantly snappier on an M1 than on a recent Intel MBP. I’d be happy to be corrected. LOL. Has the author even spoken with actual photographers? Also, Lightroom Classic? Seriously? Lightroom CC is blazing fast on an M1. I know because it has been my go to real-life benchmark with all the M1 Macs I tested so far (all of them). You should of course compare them with similarly priced Intel Macs. But anyway, try working on 1000+ Canon Eos R5 raw files on a MacBook Pro M1 and the latest MacBook Pro Intel, then tell me which one’s faster. I’m not sure I would be able to hear you over the noise of the Intel Mac’s fans, though. This “perception of speed” theory doesn’t hold up to explain the M1X/M2 delay. I definitely believe TSMC’s bottlenecks are a much more probable explanation.
