I am comparing my M1 MBA with my 2019 16" Intel MBP. The M1 MBA has tensorflow-metal, while the Intel MBP has TF directly from Google.
Generally, the same programs runs 2-5 times FASTER on the Intel MBP, which presumably has no GPU acceleration.
Is there anything I could have done wrong on the M1?
Here is the start of the metal run:
