It was a matter of time before the numbers offered by Apple in the event called "One more thing" last Tuesday were confirmed or not. Although it is true that it is still a bit early to officially confirm all this enormous power of the new M1, the first Geekbench results are here and they demonstrate something that many of us already knew: the power of these Apple processors is impressive.
The first results shown in the tests Geekbench they say that The new M1-based MacBook Air has more power than the base processors in the 16 2019-inch MacBook Pro.
Here we leave the capture with the results obtained in a MacBook Air base, with 8 GB of RAM and 3,2 GHz:
The 16-inch MacBook Pro with Intel i9 processor results are the following:
Also in the multicore test is one point below the Mac Pro late 2019 and above the Mac Pro 2013, those with the previous design. Undoubtedly a true beast that also does not need fans and that has a starting price of 1.129 euros, really a really powerful computer to be the first launched with Apple's own ARM processors. In the next few days the tests of the new MacBook Pro with M1 and Mac mini will surely appear.
It is not surprising that these new M1s are that powerful and it remains to be seen how they perform beyond these tests, but in principle it seems that they will not have power problems in the processor, Rather the complete opposite.
