I have a 2020 i7 Intel MBP (4 ports) which was a good investment at the time. However, I've noticed in Safari and other applications within Ventura, and the OS itself, small stutters here and there. Kind of like the system is "thinking", and it's not fluid or smooth. This is particularly bad with Safari.
I did a clean install of Ventura, so that's not the issue here. I temporarily used a MBA with a M2, and it felt so fluid and incredibly smooth with everything (and yes, running Ventura). The difference is subtle, but it's there.
Could it be that Apple is slowing down Intel systems purposefully to encourage people to purchase computers with Apple Silicon? Or could it be some kind of Ventura issue? I was wondering because 2020 is still fairly new, and we shouldn't be experiencing slowdowns in newer systems to begin with (regardless of processor).
