M1 Macs beat all Intel Macs at single core tasks (but not multi-core tasks) — Apple World Today
[ad_1]
Geekbench 5 scores are calibrated against a baseline score of 1000 (which is the score of an Intel Core i3-8100). Higher scores are better, with double the score indicating double the performance.
The Mac mini scored 1741, the 2020 MacBook Pro scored 1699, and the 2020 MacBook Air 1662. The closest Intel Mac was the 27-inch iMac (mid-202, Intel Core i9) with a score of 1251.
However, when it comes to multi-core tests, the new M1 Macs lose momentum. Scores for the M1 Mac mini are 7643, the M1 MacBook Pro scores 7349, and the M1 MacBook Air scores 7171. That compared to the highest score of 18,961 for the late 2019 Mac Pro with an Intel Xeon processor. Twelve Intel Macs top the M1 models in Geekbench’s multi-core tests.
That said, Apple’s M1 processor often beatss the graphics performance of desktop GPUs, including the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 560, according to a new benchmark submission noticed by Tom’s Hardware.
