It claimed that version 5 supports Apple Silicon natively, but why I still saw it showed as Intel in Activity Monitor?

Strange. Mine shows up as a Universal binary:

    $ file -b '/Applications/Beyond Compare.app/Contents/MacOS/BCompare'
    Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64]
    /Applications/Beyond Compare.app/Contents/MacOS/BCompare (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
    /Applications/Beyond Compare.app/Contents/MacOS/BCompare (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

I would suggest re-downloading...

Thank you for helping me diagnose. file -b here showed the same output as yours, so maybe Acitivty Monitor is wrong?

Great news.

Measured by time saved, Beyond Compare is the best £60 I've ever spent on software.
