The M1 Tensorflow-branch doesn't use Neural Engine (ANE). However, it does use the M1-GPU.
The M1 GPU is about 1/3 the speed of a 1080TI card when looking at OpenCL score in Geekbench, but may perform faster than that in some cases, due to the shared memory architecture of the M1.
As I understand it, the ANE has very low precision, which makes it unsuited for training in Tensorflow.
