Anyone seeing performance problems with popular slicing software Chitubox, Lychee, Prusa, Cuba when using their new M2?

I'm eyeing the M2 MBA. The only thing "high performance", if you would call it that, that I require is some basic Tinker CAD/Auto CAD and then the 3D Printer slicing softwares mentioned above.

Any input is appreciated.

Ill be upgrading from a mid 2012 MBP Retina 2.3 Quad i7, 8 gigs of RAM and 512SSD. I am use to 15-30 min slicing times for full build plates/Beds.
 
I don't have any direct experience with slicing software on the M2 MBA, but coming from the computer that you have been using to the new MBA, you should see a substantial performance boost. The CPU is much faster in general and if the slicers take advantage of multiple CPU cores the M2 should provide a boost there as well.
