United States based tech giant Apple's newly launched in-house designed Silicon M1 chip powered MacBook Air have reportedly outperformed all the MacBooks including the high-end intel 10th generation Core-i9 CPU powered 16-inch MacBook Pro.
The M1 Powered MacBook Air was launched by Apple on 10 November, and the first benchmark of the new chip appears to be showing up on the Geekbench site.
The M1 chip, which belongs to a MacBook Air with 8GB RAM, features a single-core score of 1687 and a multi-core score of 7433. According to the benchmark, the M1 has a 3.2GHz base frequency.
The single-core performance of M1 powered MacBook Air is better than any other available Mac, and the multi-core performance beats out all of the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro models, including the 10th-generation high-end 2.4GHz Intel Core i9 model, reports MacRumors.
The MacBook Air also outperforms all the iOS devices including the recently launched iPhone 12 Pro which earned a single-core score of 1584 and a multi-core score of 3898.
The company said that with its industry-leading performance per watt, together with macOS Big Sur, M1 delivers up to 3.5 times faster CPU, up to 6 times faster GPU, up to 15 times faster machine learning (ML) capabilities, and battery life up to 2 times longer than before.
"The introduction of three new Macs featuring Apple's breakthrough M1 chip represents a bold change that was years in the making, and marks a truly historic day for the Mac and for Apple," said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
"M1 is by far the most powerful chip we've ever created, and combined with Big Sur, delivers mind-blowing performance, extraordinary battery life, and access to more software and apps than ever before".
The powerful 8-core CPU performs up to 3.5x faster than the previous generation. With up to an 8-core GPU, graphics are up to 5x faster, the biggest leap ever for MacBook Air, so immersive, graphics-intensive games run at significantly higher frame rates.
