Performance of MATLAB with MacBook with M1 or M2 chips

is there any benchmarking done for Matlab operating on new Macbooks with M1 or M2 chips ?

Yes. See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/641925-is-matlab-supported-on-apple-silicon-macs#answer_1097633

Note that that posting is for the new R2022b beta (supports a number of toolboxes), whereas other benchmarks you will see in that thread and others are for the older R2021a beta (supported only MATLAB itself.)

With the older beta, some people experienced very nice performance, but other people found that for their work it was notably slower than older Intel systems. There has not been enough posted about the newer beta to know whether it continues to be slow for some workloads.
