While very different, it was already tricky in the past to make Apple silicon (on iPhones as well) perform reasonable.

Ableton engineers already evaluated this in the past: https://github.com/Ableton/AudioPerfLab

While I feel for the complaints about the Apple lack of "feedback assiting" The core issue itself is very tricky. Many years ago, before being an audio developer, I've worked in a Pro Audio PC shop...

And guess what... interrupts, abusive drivers (GPUs included) and Intels SpeedStep, Sleep states, parking cores... all were tricky.

Fast forward, We got asymmetric CPUs, arm64 CPUs and still Intel or AMDs (especially laptops) might need bios tweaks to avoid dropouts/stutters.

But if there's a broken driver by CPU or GPU... good luck reporting that one :)
