![]() ![]() I read a blog post yesterday in which a CS researcher ran his code (single threaded) on his phone (A12) and found it faster than his i7-7700k workstation. Even the thermally-limited MBP laptops have fans, and the ones that don’t (MacBook etc) clock very slow. The A12X is managing those results at (probably) no more than 2GHz and no fan. So the MBP may hinder intel’s CPU in that it cannot reach it’s peak performance due to throttling. I posted a link of this not too long ago. Macbook pros are handicapped by relatively poor heat dissipation, which results in CPU throttling. Did I miss something? That’s not to say the ipad’s performance isn’t impressive, but how did you arrive at your conclusions? The benchmarks show the ipad beating other devices in the mobile form factor, but from what I see, none of the benchmarks show it beating the latest intel laptops. ![]() It seems like with this exclusive Ars Technica article, Apple is continuing its A12X marketing blitz, which all just further solidifies that Intel’s days inside Apple’s Macs are almost over. It turns out that the iPad Pro’s striking, console-level graphics performance and many of the other headlining features in new Apple devices (like FaceID and various augmented-reality applications) may not be possible any other way.ĭuring Apple’s event last week, the company didn’t even mention Intel once, and profusely made it very clear just how much faster the A12X is compared to all other laptops – even its own – that obviously all run on Intel (or AMD) processors. We wanted to hear exactly what Apple is trying to accomplish by making its own chips and how the A12X is architected. How is this possible? What does this architecture actually look like? Why is Apple doing this, and how did it get here?Īfter the hardware announcements last week, Ars sat down with Anand Shimpi from Hardware Technologies at Apple and Apple’s Senior VP of Marketing Phil Schiller to ask. It’s all done on custom silicon designed within Apple – a different approach than that taken by any mainstream Android or Windows device.īut not every consumer – even the “professional” target consumer of the iPad Pro – really groks the fact this gap is so big. Windows laptops have some catching up to do.Apple’s latest iOS devices aren’t perfect, but even the platform’s biggest detractors recognize that the company is leading the market when it comes to mobile CPU and GPU performance – not by a little, but by a lot. And it should with the 38-core GPU we tested. We saw a pretty big jump in photo editing performance and video transcoding speed, and the M2 Max chip provides a huge GPU boost. It's not a quantum leap ahead of the M1 Pro, but it is notably faster in multiple benchmarks. The MacBook Pro with M2 Pro largely lives up to the hype with Apple's new silicon. The Dell XPS 15 with its Nvidia GeForce 3050 Ti GPU delivered a fairly smooth 38.4 at 1920 x 1080 resolution but only 11 fps at 3,456 x 2,160 pixels. The M2 Max version with 38-core GPU delivered a much higher 73 fps at 1920 x 1200 pixels and a playable 34 fps at the higher 3024 x 1964 resolution. The M2 Pro model mustered only 20.9 fps at that resolution, which is not really playable. The M2 Pro MacBook Pro hit 48.6 fps at 1920 x 1200 resolution, compared to 39.3 fps for the 2021 model with M1 Pro. We ran the Rise of the Tomb Raider benchmark to see how well the MacBook Pro 14-inch 2023 can handle mainstream games, although this is an older title.
