Intel Macbook Pro 13" (10th gen, Big sur)

After updating to Big Sur, all the animations and apps feel slow and sluggish but as I checked with the 8th Gen CPU's (Air and Pro), everything works fine for the 8th gen, even the animations are smother on them. Is there any compatibility issue with the IceLake processors (10th Gen).

And safari keeps on crashing unexpectedly.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

If you are having issues To trouble shoot further you can:


—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot as normal and test as caches get rebuilt.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
