Hi, I definitely have experience with Apple Silicon both on my MacBook Pro with M1 and on iMac. It is difficult to specifically compare with Intel I9 processor models,, as I’ve never used one with those specs. I can tell you though that using an Intel MacBook Air 2020 in comparison to my MBP is a big improvement in performance. Most “Busy” things that happen to me are because I tend to be impatient with key strokes on on the web. I’ll press on a link, then start attempting to move around the screen with VO. That’s when it goes busy. If I just wait for the link to load, then navigate, then life is better.
