You likely know this as a Unity developer, but my understanding is the native M1 support was added in 2021.2 , released a few weeks ago.

I’m still personally seeing quite a bit better performance on my old laptop with a dedicated gpu in Unity 21.2 - but the power draw is much much lower (consequently better battery life) on the Mac side which definitely has its place.

Are you comparing Windows vs Mac? If so I think that might have even more to do with perf than the hardware. I'm sure the overwhelming majority of Unity developers use it on Windows, and so it probably gets more love from Unity as a result.

Thats possible but baking lights etc should come down to raw power unless theyve implemented something oddly

Yes, I have been using that version exclusively. The non-native one is unbearably slow.
