This meant that several third-party applications, including Blender, were no longer supported on the latest Macs.īut the Macs’ immense popularity meant that app developers would be missing out plenty if they chose not to update their respective applications with support for Apple’s new Silicon. These devices came with the new M1 processors that took a break from Intel’s architecture and instead ran on the ARM CPU architecture. Apple had launched their game-changing Apple Silicon MacBooks and Mac minis last year. Nonetheless, while Blender has been used widely on various platforms for years, a section of users was missing out.
