I finally got a chance after the move to record a video on how well the ARM64 version of Blender works on the M1 Macs (Mac Mini in my case).
With the extremely high single core scores of the M1 chip paired with the mostly single core task in Blender, and married with the smaller instruction set of the ARM architecture, animating in Blender with a Mac Mini has become really powerful. 
Iām not sure if anyone at the BF has an M1 Mac to play around with yet, so I hope this video shows that minus rendering the M1 Mac paired with the ARM version of Blender is no joke.
