Thank You for doing this test. I love Apple eco-system from Jobs. However, this python has been my workhorse for many things. And apparently, m1/m1-max can not make the python more efficient than intel based solution. Jobs was claiming that the enclosed system could make things more efficient by controlling every detail. This M1/M1 max really makes me think stop to use Apple MacBook. It is immature, no matter how great the hardware as claimed. really hope Apple can think their original intentions. This is not iPAD for convenient or specific purpose. This is Mac for serious work. Don’t know is any other application encountered same results or not since no live comparison for work.
