Apple’s new M1 processor beats Ryzen 9 5950X and Core i9-10900K in Geekbench 5 single-core performance

Only two days have passed since the presentation of Apple’s first ARM-chip for its own M1 computers, and the first results of synthetic tests of the new MacBook Air on this processor in the Geekbench 5 benchmark have already appeared on the Internet.

The processor scored 1687 points in the single-core test and 7433 points in the multi-core test, and these numbers are impressive. In the case of the single-core test, the energy-efficient Apple M1 processor set a record, as its indicator is higher than that of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Intel Core i9-10900K, which, by the way, are flagship desktop processors with huge power consumption.

If we compare the new MacBook Air with Apple M1 to other Apple computers, then in a single-threaded test it convincingly outperforms all its predecessors. Including Mac Pro and MacBook Pro 16 with Intel Core i9 chips.

However, the Apple M1 is not the first in the multi-core test, although it quietly outperforms the same MacBook Pro 16 and Mac Pro 2013 on Intel Xeon E5-2697.

In fact, the Apple M1 is very close to the new Mac Pro with Intel Xeon W-3223. Above the graph, you can see the numbers.

Interestingly, despite the fact that Apple M1 is installed in the MacBook Pro 13 and Mac mini, for some reason these devices scored fewer points in the synthetic test, although they also look good (their performance is shown in the screenshot above). But in any case, while computers on the Apple M1 processor are not able to completely replace workstations on Intel processors since the ARM chip does not support discrete video cards.

Despite the fact that many Internet users believed that Apple re-released the A14 Bionic under the guise of M1, in fact, the desktop chip bypasses in performance in GeekBench and iPhone 12 Pro, and iPad Air 4. Thus, the result of the smartphone is 1584 points in single-core and 3898 points in the multi-core test, and the tablet has 1585 and 4647 points, respectively.
