Avinash Singh Kotwal, the Senior Product Manager of Adobe Illustrator mentioned in a post at a ‘UserVoice’ forum last week that, “We are excited to announce the first Beta release of Illustrator running natively on Apple Silicon hardware”.
Adobe has now started testing Illustrator on Apple’s latest chip architecture and last month announced the release of the first version of Photoshop to run natively on Macs with the new Apple silicon M1 chip. You can download this beta version through the Creative Cloud Desktop app’s “Beta Apps” section.
According to the company, the tests resulted in a significant performance of Photoshop in the latest Macs, and Photoshop for M1 Macs completes most tasks 1.5 times faster than on Intel chips.
