The thing I find is, the arm Mac’s have way better feeling input. I don’t mean the hardware end but the latency from key stroke to appearing on screen.
I don’t think it’s just down to macOS because the Intel Mac’s didn’t feel as good. I think it’s likely down to the E cores and moving more of the IO handling processors onto the SoC (according to the Asahi folks anyway)
When my Intel Mac or AMD PC are under load, input struggles to fight with the things taking up resources. And that might be as simple as running Teams which is a resource hog at the most random times.
The Arm Macs never hit that issue for me even when I’m using aggressive loads.
