Apple’s M1 processor was compared to the most powerful Intel chips in SPECint2006 benchmarks. The results are impressive

Apple’s M1 processor was compared to the most powerful Intel chips in SPECint2006 benchmarks. The results are impressive

Yesterday Apple unveiled the new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini, which are the company’s first computers based on the ARM-branded M1 chipset. Now the authoritative Internet publication AnandTech has published a detailed description of the process underlying the new devices, and also compared it with x86 processors used in similar devices.

AnandTech notes that placing the RAM on the side of the processor die, rather than on top of it, ensures effective cooling of the chips. The M1 is supposed to use a 128-bit DRAM bus, similar to the latest A-series chips. The new processor uses four high-performance Firestorm cores and four energy-efficient Icestorm cores. After examining the snapshot of the M1 shown during the presentation, AnandTech came to the conclusion that it has 12 MB of L2 cache, as opposed to 8 MB in the A14, which makes sense when you consider that the new processor has four high-performance cores, and not two, like a chip for tablets and smartphones.

In addition, AnandTech compared the performance of the M1 to current Intel and AMD processors. The website reported that Apple’s claim that it created the world’s fastest processor seems extremely plausible. After running a series of tests on the Apple A14 chip in the SPECint2006 benchmark, the source compared the results with the Intel Core i7-1185G7 – Intel’s most powerful mobile chip, as well as with the desktop flagship Core i9-10900K. As a result, the performance was described as stunning and it was concluded that the A14 is able to compete with the best solutions from the x86 world.

And when you consider that the M1 has not two, like the A14, but as many as four high-performance Firestorm cores, the chipset has every chance of getting the title of the most productive processor for consumer computers this year. But here it is important to remember that these are only synthetic tests, moreover, within the framework of one benchmark, so the real situation may turn out to be completely different. But what we see now cannot but rejoice. 

Separately, the Internet resource AnandTech noted the pace with which Apple is increasing the performance of branded processors. While Intel has increased the performance of its chips by about 28 percent over the past 5 years, Apple has achieved a 198 percent increase over the same period.

Another major advantage of Apple’s branded ARM chips is their outstanding power efficiency. It was thanks to her that the company managed to achieve record-breaking battery life in the new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. AnandTech suggests that the move to its own ARM processors in branded computers was driven by Apple’s desire to offer users the best computers on the market, and the stagnation in the field of x86 chips did not allow this.
