MacBook Air gets over 1 million points in AnTuTu, wipes the floor with an iPad Pro

23 November 2020
While the A12Z chipset in the iPad uses older cores, it is - or rather, was - Apple's fastest chipset, faster than even the A14 in the iPhone 12.

I am writing this on my MacBook Air M1, running windows 10 on Parallels. I must say that M1 Macbook Air runs faster, smoother than my i7 8 core laptop, especially in cases when, like right now I run 29 apps, have loads of tabs open on Windows Firefox as well many more on Safari over MacOS, but still the Mac is on 40 degrees C (ranging from 40 to 55 depending how intensive a task is--- around 40 C when I don't use Parallels / Windows), and fanless (no noise) and everything is snappy like I run just only one app. If I replicate this on my pc everything will be slower, there will be freezes and stuttering when apps are being maximized and delays until the app is ready to go and it will be hot and noisy. It would be impossible to use my pc on battery with so many apps open whereas the mac is doing all this on battery.

    Well thats interesting but i bet my whole salary army uses a lot better devices,
    And many researchlabs too.
    Tianhe 2 is just an example.

              MrHong, 25 Nov 2020Probably running on custom ROM with modified GPU drivers.No, im not. Im on stock oxygen os android 10.
              Try 60 fps option to see if it improves. None of the videos of sd865 i saw dropped to 22.

                Beethoven, 25 Nov 2020Sad to say it's a hardware problem theres no solution ... moreYes... It is a hardware problem.
                In 2020, No Additional cooling = Thermal throttling performance (as processors have got so powerful and generate lot more heat than their slower flagship counterparts from years back.)

                  Compare it to some device which has proper cooling.
                  It doesn't lag in those phones.
                  IPhone has pedestrian performance in heavy games where it lags.
                  Keep your cheap throttling mess to yourself.

Gary Explains already showed there is only little throttling in iPhone 12 in Speed Test G. Same methodology in iPhone 11 Pro Max caused significant 15% throttling. Probably down to poor optimisation.
