Benchmarks of M1 and Affinity Software Discount

Affinity Photo Benchmark comparison. Intel and AMD need to improve their system on chip technology to catch up with Apple. My 2 year old AMD with NVIDIA graphics is not as fast as my Mac Mini with integrated graphics. I am happy that WnSoft has created a Mac version of PTE AV Studio.

From Affinity Help:
"The numeric results reported by the benchmark are linearly comparable, i.e. double the score means twice as fast."

Yes. PTE for Mac is very fast on the M1 chip. Unless Intel is able to catch up with Apple my last Intel CPU will probably be the i3 in my Acer Chromebox. I use it mainly for secure browsing and progressive web apps.

The next Apple Silicone (M1X?) should be amazing.

The 50% discount on Affinity software will end June 30.  If you are hesitant to rent Adobe software this may be a good option.

These three programs were first flagged up on the forum about three years ago and I bought them then. 
For anyone looking for non-subscription software for photo manipulation, design and illustration purposes, and can afford the very sensible prices, I think they might be a serious consideration.

I heartily agree, having and using Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer for more than several years and now their newest version is a native version for the Mac M1 chip and yes runs fast and trouble free.
