How M1 Macs Feel Faster Than Intel Models: It’s About QoS ⇥ eclecticlight.co

I thought I had my fill of M1-related articles until I read this terrific piece from Howard Oakley. In just a few hundred words, Oakley explains how MacOS assigns foreground and background tasks differently on M1 Macs than on Intel models, and how that makes the former feel so much better than the latter. Some truly excellent writing.
