Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max confidently overtake AMD and Intel flagship processors in single-threaded performance

As early adopters get their hands on the new  14 " and 16" MacBook Pros, more details on the performance of these systems are emerging online, including the results of a variety of synthetic benchmarks. Enthusiasts tested Apple's new flagship laptops in the PassMark single-threaded performance benchmark, where they showed an edge over the best x86-compatible processors on the market.

Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max confidently overtake AMD and Intel flagship processors in single-threaded performance


The PassMark ranking table demonstrates that Apple's fresh chipsets outperform processors such as the Intel Core i9-11900K and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X in single-threaded performance . It's funny that the first place in the ranking with a result of 3880 points is occupied by the M1 Pro, and not the more advanced M1 Max, which scored 3858 points. However, the gap is small enough that it can be attributed to an error. It's worth noting that both chips use 10-core CPUs clocked at 3.2GHz, so it's no surprise that they perform roughly the same.

According to the benchmark results, Apple's new chipsets outperform the best processors that AMD and Intel have to offer, at least for now. As a reminder, Intel recently announced Alder Lake processors that will go on sale on November 4th, while AMD is working on Zen 3+-based solutions.

In terms of Apple chips, the flagship M1 Max contains 57 billion transistors. It boasts a 10-core central processing unit, 32-core GPU, and 16-core neural processor. The chipset can be expanded with up to 64 GB of RAM with a bandwidth of up to 400 GB / s. In turn, Apple M1 Pro consists of 33.7 billion transistors. The chipset can include a ten- or eight-core processor, a 16-core GPU, and a 16-core neural processor. The amount of RAM included in the chipset can reach 32 GB. Its bandwidth is 200 GB / s.
