I had noticed the MacOS 11.0.1 betas were noticeably slower waking up from sleep and in the initial launch of an app. After. watching today’s event, I realized that Big Sur has been so highly optimized for Apple Silicon it apparently de-optimized some operations for Intel based macs. Be that as it may, I remain more than satisfied with Big Sur’s performance on my Intel based, Mac mini.
I know that some of you will not be pleased by Apple’s continued emphasis on ever thinner and lighter MacBooks and MacBook Pros but, Apple is offfering what appear to be VERY generous trade-ins for the new models with Apple silicon.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
