The MacBook has 8 cores vs 4 (hyperthreaded) in the Dell.

  M1 doubled it on single core performance.
- abc_lisper 6y ago
  Single core scores are indicative too
- raverbashing 6y ago
  Not really. It's 8 big/small cores, so only 4 are "fast" ones Which makes it even more impressive.

Not sure if this is in any way a useful comparison, but it's what I currently use and am looking to replace: Mid-2015 15" MacBook Pro vs MacBookAir10,1 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4643216?baseline=4648107 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4643216?baselin...

  This is definitely compelling. I’m still going to try holding out until the Apple Silicon 16”, but my computer is more and more reminding me how long ago 2015 was.

    In the same boat. My 2015 is great but for the fact I do a lot of video and photo editing these days, and those apps push this machine to its limits. My fan runs at the highest speed all day.

This seems more relevant to me, 2019 16" MBP vs 2020 13" MBA https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4651583?baseline=4651916 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4651583?baselin.... It is quite close! Not sure how significant it is that these tests were done on different versions of geekbench, so maybe caveat?

The cache comparison is especially striking. Wow. I’d love to see one of these go head to head compiling a large project etc.

Note that this laptop uses Kaby Lake based on the older Skylake design. Newer laptops use Sunny Cove based on Ice Lake and have improved single-core performance.

The Intel chip in that comparison was released in Q1 2018, almost three years ago now. How is this a helpful comparison? https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/130411/intel-core-i7-8705g-processor-with-radeon-rx-vega-m-gl-graphics-8m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/130411/...

  The 2019 16” MBP (the one many pros will spring for) is still running the 9th gen intel. So a lot of people will either still have these chips, or will still be considering them in an upgrade.

A better comparison would be the new XPS 13 which beats it at single core but only has 4 cores to MacBookAir10's 8 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4309589?baseline=4651056 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/4309589?baselin...

  The M1 is a 4+4 big.little core configuration. It only has 4 fast cores, not 8. In a multi-threaded workload those little cores will still help, sure, but not nearly as much. Hence why in that multi-core result the 4c Intel is way closer to the 8c M1 than it "should" be.
