Capture One on Apple's ARM chips?

Does Phase One have anyone yet testing Capture One on Apple's ARM chips?

 

What about you forum participants?  Seen any evidence of anyone testing Capture One on Apple's ARM chips?

 

There is an Apple developers kit that comes with an ARM based machine. Rosetta 2 is the translator from Intel to ARM. So Phase one can test the existing Intel based version of Capture One on the ARM machine using Rosetta 2.  Maybe even get feedback to Apple if there are issues.

 

Would be great to know whether Capture One works on Apple's ARM machines on day one, especially tethering.

  Would be better, IMHO, if they fixed outstanding issues for their customer base running on current hardware.  Moving from OpenGL to metal would be a step in the right direction for both existing and future platforms.

  I expect that the vast majority of existing programs will work on day one because Rosetta 2.  That doesn't mean Capture One would be one of those programs.  I also expect that the majority of programs will work natively on current and future hardware by simply re-compiling using the appropriate version of Xcode.

  Just my opinion.   Don't expect anyone else to agree.

  P1 never ever comment future projects, you can apply for beta tester to find out, but you have to sign NDA

  If they are, it should be really easy to get C1 to run natively on iOS devices. C1 on an iPad Pro. Please take my money.

  is C1 still using OpenGL?   I recall reading that ARM chips require Metal, even via Rosetta 2.  I hope that my memory is wrong.

  Peter, how do we enroll in the beta program? I don't mind signing and obeying an NDA.  I would focus on testing the tethering to MacIntosh which is essential but often a tricky issue with new OS releases, IMHO.  Thank you.

  You have to contact support with good arguments i believe. Here the developer kit imac mini with ARM chip ownership may help :)
