The M1 is Apple’s newest processor. It has a 8-core CPU made up of four high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores that give newer Macs a considerable speed boost.
The first of the M1 Macs launched in November, and although the new Macs were able to run Adobe apps, those programs were not able to take full advantage of the new processor. Adobe has been quick to update its apps to fully utilize this speed.
According to a post on Adobe’s official blog, the new iteration of Premiere Pro runs nearly 80% faster than on Macs with Intel processors, and can run CPU-demanding formats—like 4K video from an iPhone—smoothly on the app’s timeline.
