8K RAW Video on the new Macbook Pros--M1 Pro and M1 Max

I'm wondering if anyone has experience editing Canon 8K RAW or RAW Light video files from the Canon R5 (or similar cameras/brands) with the new Macbook M1 Pro and M1 Max chips?

I know it is possible to process, color grade, etc. the R5 8K RAW Light clips on the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro with the previous M1 chip--but with some compromises and with relatively long render times.

I see on online reviews that the new machines still stutter a bit when playing back R5 8K RAW clips at full resolution. But there is not very much information out there yet.

Anyone have actual real-world experience with 8K RAW on theses latest MacBooks? [As opposed to conjecture based on the specs and the reviews of others]

DaVinci Resolve vs. Final Cut vs. Premiere Pro with the new chips?
