Never forget: the market isn't filled with people like you. M1 chips being available isn't going to change their behavior. You still have people using their Macs from 2012 or 2014, are very proud of that fact, and state that such was a major reason why they chose Mac over Windows in the first place. so the hundreds of millions of people with Intel Macs are going to go out and buy M1 Macs in 2 years? While you may wish to believe this, the reality is that 90% of the population isn't going to stop using good tech that meets their needs just because something better is immediately available. My guess is when Intel has iMacs and Mac Pros on Apple Silicon, it will be a year or two after that, at the most.Īll right. I doubt they will do that anytime soon - subscription income is good, easy money.Īdobe at some point will look at metrics data and see that the amount of Intel-Mac users on subscription does not cover the costs of maintaining x86 support. Many of us Intel Mac users still have years to go before we upgrade our systems.
I'm rolling the dice Adobe doesn't do that. The app in question is Lightroom, whereas Photoshop is currently planned to make its own M1 jump in the first quarter of 2021.I just bought a 2020 iMac (due to Windows x86 compatibility) and the one thing that could really come back to haunt me is if Adobe decided to stop supporting us Intel Mac users and pull down Lightroom and Photoshop and go all Apple Silicon. Adobe’s first M1 port is scheduled to hit the Mac Store at some point next month.
Modern video editing software may not be in the same boat, however. Today’s announcement from Adobe at the very least confirms these chips will be able to hold their own when tasked with tackling professionač photography workflows. The confusion was even greater once Apple announced it will be prioritizing the lowest-end Mac configurations with its initial M1 production run. The partial specs sheets available right now are not nearly enough to paint the entire picture about the M1 family as individual metrics such as per-core operating frequencies and process nodes are not suitable for comparing entirely different CPU architectures. This news should alleviate some recent concerns about the first-generation M1 processors which Apple itself prompted by avoiding in-depth disclosures of technical information. The right data and proper benchmarks are still missing
That is the gist of what the Cupertino company and its partners at Adobe announced earlier today. Adobe is already in the process of porting arguably its two biggest commercial software staples – Photoshop and Lightroom – to Apple’s newly launched M1 CPUs, i.e.
