Hi All, Just getting the ball rolling after Apple’s keynote a few hours ago. The new M1 processor! When can we expect a Sketchup upgrade to run natively on the new chip?

What we know so far (correct me if I’m wrong): Sketchup and Layout only use a Single Core. The single core performance of the new M1 Macs is better than any other computer on the market (both desktop and laptop) even outperforming AMD Ryzen 9 5900x Under Rosetta 2 x86 coded programmes generally r…

The new M1 processor!

SketchUp 2021 is working on a MacBook Air M1

Does Sketchup (pro) run on the new M1 Macbook Silicon?
