M1 Mac (Apple Silicon) and Calibre 6.0.0 performance

fogice · 07-13-2022, 11:52 AM

So I understand that one of the benefits of basing Calibre on Qt 6 is direct support for the M1 chip. Are people observing a benefit of this switch in practice? I usually take a wait-and-see approach on any major upgrades, but I'm also curious.

(I already know about the DeDRM compatibility issue, we can skip discussion of that in this thread.)

The DeDRM issue is fixed with latest DeDRM files.

I run Calibre 6 on an M1 Mac Air and it is very smooth.
