The promises made at Apple’s One More Thing event seemed steep, but benchmarking scores show that they may not be all talk.
On November 10 we were finally introduced to the first lineup of highly anticipated ARM-powered MacBooks and Mac minis. Bold promises were made off the bat for the new chipset, claiming that the M1 silicon would have the world’s highest performance per watt. Though we were initially skeptical, the latest benchmarking results have revealed that the claims made at the event may actually hold some weight. We can get a glimpse into the performance for the new M1 chip thanks to benchmarking results for the new MacBook Air (2020) that appeared on Geekbench on November 11.
