The Blender foundation just released a guideline of what we can expect in the near future (mostly 2023) in the world of Blender. Some very nice stuff such as improved animations, new physics simulation and perhaps most interesting of all, new GPU back-ends. In fact the Mac Meta backend is ready to go in Alpha form and you can see the performance results in this video! Vulkan is sadly still a WIP.
