Recently, Apple introduced its first computers based on its own Apple Silicon M1 processors. Even though actual deliveries of new products will start only next week, posts with the test results of the new chip have already appeared on Geekbench.
Tested on a MacBook Air equipped with an Apple Silicon M1 processor and 8GB of RAM. According to the test data, the processor operates at 3.2 GHz. In the Geekbench test, the device scored 1687 points in single-core mode and 7433 points in multi-core mode.
If we compare these results with previous tests of existing devices, then we can already draw certain conclusions. The Apple Silicon M1 chip in the MacBook Air outperformed all existing iOS devices. For example, the new iPhone 12 Pro smartphone scores 1584 and 3898 points in single-core and multi-core modes, respectively. The most productive iOS device according to Geekbench, the iPad Air tablet with the A14 chip, scores 1585 and 4647 points, respectively.
If compared to the test results of Mac mobile computers, here too MacBook Air with Apple Silicon M1 overlooks its siblings. Therefore, in single-core mode, the novelty outperforms all other available Mac computers with Intel processors. The multi-core test mode outperforms all 2019 MacBook Pros, including the top 10th Gen Intel Core i9 processor. This 16-inch version of the MacBook Pro scores 1,096 and 6,870 on single-core and multi-core, respectively.
Additionally, while the Apple Silicon M1-based MacBook Air outperforms previous MacBook Pros in overall CPU performance, older models are likely to deliver advantages in a number of tasks that depend on the efficiency of the graphics subsystem. Previous generation MacBook Pro laptops feature high-performance discrete GPUs.
A little later, information about the test results appeared on Geekbench and other new computers with the Apple Silicon M1 processor. For example, the compact Mac mini scores 1682 points in single-core mode and 7067 points in multi-core mode. Regarding the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip (which is equipped with an active cooling system, which may indicate better performance compared to the MacBook Air), this model scores 1,714 points in single-core mode and 6802 points in multi-core mode. As with the MacBook Air, the processor is clocked at 3.2 GHz.
