![]() So how much faster is Capture One on M1 Macs now that they are natively supported? Capture One cites vague metrics like “50% faster” in their Press Release but that begs questions like “50% faster than what?” and “in what situations?” which we want to answer! Capture One M1 Benchmark Test This rewrite means faster processing, more responsive adjustments, and all-around performance improvements. If you’ve ever met the team in Copenhagen they are performance freaks – they know their users are often shooting, editing, and processing thousands of 100+ megapixel images per day and time is money, so they started working on this rewrite in 2018, long before the transition to M1 processors was publicly announced. The team at Capture One did far more than the minimum – they undertook to rewrite the entire image processing pipeline to fully take advantage of the new M1 architecture. Technically it’s now natively written for both Intel and M1 processors. This release of Capture One just that – natively written for M1. But that translation from Intel into M1 slows down the software ideally, you want software (especially high-performance software like a raw processor) to be natively written for the M1 processor. Intel and M1 processors “speak” different languages, but MacOS can automatically translate software written for one processor so that it can run on the new processors – a feature Apple calls Rosetta 2. In 2020 Apple announced they were transitioning from Intel-made CPUs to Apple’s own line of M1 CPUs. We are in the middle of a major transition for Mac computers though you may not have noticed because that transition is generally going smoothly. During the transition from one processor to another macOS automatically translates software written for the old processor. These processor family changes are a really big deal because each family of processors “speaks” a different language. In 2005 they switched from PowerPC to Intel, and they are currently in the middle of a transition from Intel to a line of processors Apple itself is designing that they have named the “M1” family of processors. ![]() If you have an M1-based Mac we’ll give you a free DT Class in exchange for running a benchmark for us so we can report how much faster.Īpple has switched processor families a few times in its history. The latest update to Capture One (version 14.2.0 of “ Capture One 21”) means it now runs natively, and much faster, on M1-based Macs.
