And, hell, I bet at that point Apple will be willing to pay enough to take first dibs there as well.ĪMD will never catch up since we know they don't care to compete against Apple laptops and thus won't pay the premium for TSMC's latest art. The big deal here is that this isn't going to change until Intel's process technology catches up. The also are on arm which is another 10-20% advantage for the frontend. That's a 10-20% advantage (very rough ballpark estimate).
They also have a much newer microarch design (circa 2006ish) vs AMD and Intel's early 90s designs. Apple is the only one willing to pay the premium. There's a de facto industry leader in process technology today - TSMC. Intel will release Alder Lake and catch up, AMD will reach Zen4 and catch up and Apple will just reach into their pocket and pull out a "oh here's a 45 watt 4nm CPU with two years of microarch upgrades" and the 2022 MBP 16 will have Geekbench scores of ~2200 and ~17000. They know they are in the lead since they are paying TSMC for first dibs on 5nm, but they didn't blow their load on their first generation products. They know AMD/Intel reach some performance level X and released CPUs that perform no greater than X * 1.2. It's faster than a desktop 105 watt 5800x.Īpple intentionally played to the competition here. Hell, this Geekbench is faster than a desktop 125 watt 11900k. the 12980hk and 5980hx) and beyond chips. These are 30 watt chips that trounce the competition's 65 watt (e.g. You're missing out on the fact that Apple didn't release a 12980hk or 5980hx competitor. That's still mightily impressive from a low-power laptop! But I think some of the rhetoric about the M1 Max blowing away desktop CPUs is getting a little ahead of the reality.
IPAD PRO M1 GEEKBENCH CODE
But if these early Geekbench results are accurate, it's going to be about half as fast as my AMD desktop in code compilation (see Clang results in the detailed score breakdown). I'm very excited to get my M1 Max in a few weeks. Even AMD's top mobile CPU isn't that far behind the M1 Max in Geekbench scores. It's fast and super power efficient, but it's mostly on par with mid-range 8-core AMD desktop CPUs from 2020. Compared to modern AMD mobile parts, it's still faster but not by leaps and bounds.īut I agree that the M1 hype may be getting a little out of hand.
Compared to those older CPUs, the M1 Max is a huge leap forward.
IPAD PRO M1 GEEKBENCH MAC
People in the Mac world (excluding hackintosh) were stuck on relatively outdated x86-64 CPUs. Apple really dragged their feet on updating the old Intel Macs before the transition. No matter how you look at it, that's impressive.Ģ.
It provides mid-range desktop performance in a laptop form factor with mostly fanless operation. I just can't figure out what I'm missing on the "M1 is so fast" side of things.ġ.
