Cici, I do not think the Intel C compiler is able to generate native code for the M1 (aarch64). The best case scenario is it would generate code for x86_64 and then Rosetta would be used to translate it to aarch64 code, and this is a very downgraded solution.
So if you really want to stick to the Intel compiler, I strongly encourage you to run on Intel/AMD processors. Otherwise, use a native compiler for aarch64, and in this case, brew is not a bad option.
