Does MATLAB work on macbook Pro with M4(M4, M4Pro, Max) tips?

I am thinking to buy a new macbook Pro prefering M4(M4, M4Pro, or Max) tips due to the better performance and buttery life.

Does MATLAB, which I have used (MATLAB2022b), work on these laptops?

Any restrictions on the performance, OS, or version of MATLAB (do I have to upgrde either Matlab or OS; or both)?

You can find the system requirements here: https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/matlab-mac.html

In case you don't see how to change the release, here's a link to the R2022b requirements for a mac: https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/support/sysreq/files/system-requirements-release-2022b-macintosh.pdf

In particular note that in R2022b, MATLAB ran under Rosetta 2 on Silicon Mac, not natively. You will be handicapping MATLAB by not using a native Silicon version of MATLAB. R2023b was the first version to run natively on Apple Silicon; some of the newer versions made important performance improvements. The upcoming R2025a (currently in pre-release) contains important performance improvements for native Apple Silicon.

thank you so much for your helpful info!

Do you know how much the difference on R2022b, MATLAB (running under Rosetta 2 on Silicon Mac), R2023b and R2025a, for example, rendering, image processing, FFT, etc, (those are my typical usages)...?

[Walter Roberson]

Unfortunately I do not run MATLAB on a Silicon Mac.

I will see if I can borrow one.
