(yes I’m an Apple user).Īpple loves to sell overpriced products that can’t be upgraded or repaired. I’m also worried that products will get more expensive as Apple is one of the greediest companies on the planet. While I like the idea of Apple creating its own chips for Macs and other products it does lock us into the Apple ecosystem even more and Apple is extremely slow in adding new features or even listening to its user base. Also the NDA claims public benchmarking isn’t allowed probably for that reason. These benchmarks on a dev kit don’t tell much other than the final product will probably be different than those scores. For example, a current top-of-the-line MacBook Pro, with an Intel Core i9-9980HK running 8 cores, offers about twice the performance of the DTK Mac Mini.īut the fact that the first ‘Apple Silicon’ Mac performs as well as it does – running in emulation mode, on a chip repurposed from an iPad – bodes well for the ‘Apple Silicon’ switch.

High-end MacOS and Windows PCs blow away the Geekbench scores for typical laptops. The Mac Mini computers included in Apple’s Developer Transition Kit are not intended to be production computers, and are arguably built with half-baked hardware.įor musicians, it remains to be seen how well Apple’s in-house chips scales up for higher-performance systems.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2016) Geekbench: Geekbench stats show the Developer Kit Mac Mini beating our MacBook Pro in single-core performance and offering comparable Multi-Core performance: The Macbook Air is an entry-level machine, so, as a point of comparison, we checked benchmarks on one of Synthtopia’s Mac laptops, a 15-inch Late 2016 MacBook Pro. Geekbench is a cross-platform tool that’s designed to measure your device’s CPU and GPU Compute performance. Geekbench metrics of the prototype Apple Silicon Mac in Apple’s Developer Transition Kit show that a Mac with a repurposed iPad chip, running Geekbench in emulation mode via Rosetta, has better Multi-Core Geekbench performance than a 2020 Macbook Air running on an Intel Core i3 processor. The first prototypes of Macs running Apple Silicon are now out in the wild, and speed tests are starting to appear that suggest that performance worries may be overblown. While there are many valid concerns about issues like compatibility, speed bumps in the transition process and the ultimate loss of legacy applications, many readers also fundamentally questioned whether the chip designs that Apple has developed for over a decade to run iOS and its variants are powerful enough to run a ‘real OS’. Apple‘s June 22nd announcement that it was dumping Intel CPU’s and moving the Macintosh to internally developed ‘Apple Silicon’ raised a lot of red flags for some readers.
