M1X to shake SoC foundations to the core: Apple M1 still tops PassMark's CPU charts as successor likely brings mammoth GPU boost

[Redaktion]

Apple is expected to soon launch the M1X MacBook Pro 14 and 16, with the 10-core SoC being one of the highlights of the 2021 laptop refresh. The older 8-core M1 Apple Silicon still sits at the top of both the desktop and laptop single-thread performance charts at PassMark, with Intel and AMD so far unable to remove the ARM competitor.

Let's see a return of the core wars among ARM SoCs. 10, 12, 16 cores.

Not at all relatable. These are laptop processors with 15-40 W power consumption, much higher memory bandwidth, bigger GPU, PCIe bus connectivity, etc

I wonder if anyone believes that this chip gets to the feet of amd chips and intel in the real world lol

And this article written by apple delusional fan?

Do they still believe that geekbench score and passmark scores are everything for performance?

It's perfectly relatable. Doesn't matter what segment the ARM device is in, almost all of them top out at 8 cores. Even the Snapdragon laptop chips.

It does matter since the referenced war was about Smartphone SoCs.
There have been other ARM processors with many more Cores. Just look at some of the SoCs for servers.
