Apple's M1 chip face-off with Intel!
Mac VS PC in a nutshell! Does Apple's new M1 chip really outstrip Intel or the latter's is on the same page?
Apple's new M1 chip launched last year is being run on the stiff competition with Intel's 11th Gen chips as the latter has recently responded the face-off with its benchmark.
But before dwelling in the above story first let us take a quick glance over the M1's specifications and performance.
Apple's new in-house M1 chip launched last year is unlike the x86 architecture as it uses an Arm-based architecture like that of the A-series chips that Apple has been designing for iPhones and iPads for years now.
It is being considered as the most powerful chip that Apple has created till date, which is identical to the A14 chip in the latest iPhone and iPad Air models and is built on a 5-nanometer process by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
Mac with M1 chips outperforms of all the silicon chips
Apple's 2020 MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini incorporate M1 whereas there is still availability of Mac mini and MacBook Pro models with Intel chips. But it's not worth to purchase Intel Mac mini or 13-inch MacBook Air now as the M1 chip outperforms all of the chips used in Apple's portable devices and it is only outclassed by desktop processors.
When discussing the comparison made by the Intel of its 11th Gen Core i7 processor with the M1 CPU it has been discovered the following handpicked claims of the intel:
- Intel latest chips outdo Apple’s M1 performance by 30 per cent.
- Intel's benchmark is also inclusive of the comparisons between HandBrake transcoding, Adobe Premiere Pro exports, and tasks in both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. Here the same claim prevails, Intel is better than M1.
- Claimer also went through gaming test across both chips to point out that most of the games are unavailable on macOS. Whereas, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Hitman, and Borderlands 3 all runs at better frame rates on the M1.
Intel also says that PCs offers more choice, better peripheral compatibility, and multi-monitor support. These points are valid when we talk about M1 MacBook Pro and Air that supports a single external display.
Users are waiting for the PC industry to respond with its processors than displaying benchmarks.
