> But the other two (the Macbook and Mini) are intel native.
The 2020 Mac Mini is not intel [0]. The 2021 Macbook Pro is also not intel [1].
> So it's a universal binary. Surely it'd run natively in the Mac Studio. Maybe this was a typo?
Yes, the new universal binary can run natively. That's what they are announcing: the new native support. They are comparing the native performance against using rosetta [2] to run the x86 binary (which, in prior versions, was the only option). By using the same binary they are ruling out that it's due to any other performance improvements between versions.
