M1 vs Intel and AMD CPUs
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2025 10:15 am
The M1 processor architecture is ARM. That is why it makes no sense to compare the processors directly. However, Apple itself conducted tests in the video editing program Final Cut Pro, as well as in Xcode:
-M1 is 3.5 times faster than Intel Core i7-1060NG7 (4 cores, 1.2 GHz with boost up to 3.8 GHz);
-M1 is 2.8 times faster than Intel Core i7-8557U (4 cores, 1.7 Hz with boost up to 4.5 GHz);
-M1 is 3 times faster than Intel Core i3-8100B (4 cores, 3.6 GHz).
Apple conducted these tests with sri lanka mobile database Intel processor found in the base versions of the previous-generation MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini.
When compared not just to processors in other Mac computers, but to any CPU in general, the M1 outperforms the vast majority of modern processors in the Geekbench test.
Apple talks about M1 in the description of the new MacBook Air and other new products on the official website:
