"Affinity 1.8.6: ready to go on Apple’s new macOS Big Sur and primed to deliver superfast performance on Macs with M1 chips"
https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb…
"Our developers were lucky enough to receive the DTK from Apple so we could prime all our apps for M1 before launch and get them up and running natively on the new hardware, making Affinity apps the first professional creative applications to offer native M1 support."
"To sum it up, M1 makes our apps run faster, smoother and feel more responsive than ever before (we’ve already even seen speed increases of over 3x faster running on the new MacBook Air). It’s definitely a big step forward for Mac, and we can’t wait to see how the rest of the Mac range develops with Apple silicon in the future."
3x faster?! Affinity already runs super fast now, imagine the speed increase next year when new Macbook Pros and iMacs will use these new processors!
Adobe bye!

- As an animator you've probably switched to a Windows PC by now. I did last year.CyBrainX
- As if Affinity apps were slow now. Even on "legacy" hardware they run like butter.evilpeacock
