Recently the Apple announced a major change to its computers and revealed that it will start using its new processor Apple M1. Since 2002, when it abandoned its own processor architecture, the company has been using Intel products.
Now, with the launch of the new Macbook Air equipped with the processor, a benchmark test has revealed that the Apple M1 outperforms machines made with Intel, in this case, a 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Better than outsourced
The result presented Geekbench shows that evolution promised by Apple in the performance of their computers looks real. In the test, a MacBook Air with Apple The M1 scored 1.687 points in single-core and 7.433 points in multi-core. The MacBook Pro with a Core i9, the most powerful of the last generation, scored 1.095 points in single-core and 6.869 points in multi-core.
By comparison, aggregate scores compiled by the site show the M1 outperforming every Mac, all current Mac mini configurations, and a good chunk of iMac specs, including the Late 2019 MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9-9980HK processor clocked at 2,4GHz.
Thus, the data is surprising and reveals a performance per core comparable to that of notebooks aimed at gamers. It is also important to highlight that the manufacturer also included the Apple M1 in your 13,3 MacBook pro, which should have even more impressive numbers.

New chips
A Apple says that the transition to M1 processors instead of Intel will create a common architecture across all of the company's products, making it easier for developers to create apps and games for the ecosystem. At first, the transition will be slow, lasting about two years.
The M1 is produced using the 5nm process, and is the first computer processor with this technology. As it is a version of the processors created by Apple for smartphones and tablets, it also offers a lot of performance in the smallest possible size. Thus, its performance is considered 3,5 times higher than an Intel processor.
The MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini are the first machines to benefit from the M1.
