So no, in raw benchmarks, M1X doesn't beat the 105 watt RTX 3080 Mobile. In most real world tasks, the Max will win though.

Impressive performance, especially when it doesn't need to be plugged in to get it!

I stand corrected!

GFX Bench M1X (32 core GPU) beats the RTX 3080 Mobile in nearly every GFX Bench Gaming test. Onscreen and even the high-end tests. Fairly impressive. I suppose the OpenCL score doesn't mean much. Be a LITTLE cautious, as this test was really meant for smartphones. Although iPhones are on the same IP/architecture as M1 Max so I think it's a fairly accurate assumption. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if game developers were interested in macOS for once. (come on apple, give them more tools to convert.)

meh, just port all the iOS games. there, thats what ya get mac ppl.

man… an HP laptop with double the RAM and double the SSD capacity AND a better CPU. Same price as a Macbook Air. oof

I wouldn't count the ram being a benefit. The SSD in the Air is probably faster which is annoying because nobody asked for the fastest SSD lol. What about battery and screen? Trackpad, speakers, and keyboard? Would consider that to be more important for the general audience who's using one of these.

As per Apple, it does.

16 gb of ram over 8 is a very big difference.

of course the m1 is faster than a chip in the radiator computer. as far as i can see, unified memory isn't a good thing.

that's vs power no? an integrated gpu from a company known for making disposable earphones isn't going to beat nvidia's flagship desktop gpu.

most of those specifications are just marketing nonsense.

i'm not saying the gt 710 is faster than the m1 but people should stop “falling for” this marketing.

b1048546 wrote:

That's true. As far as I'm aware, the LPDDR4X in the M1 is faster than the memory in the HP.

The specs aren't marketing? Their comparisons may be fake, but the specs look normal.

the difference shouldn't be noticeable.

yes but putting irrelevant specs in big purple caps can be a bit misleading

16 core Neural Engine is something they have and other laptops usually don't. ProRes encode and decode, again, is something HUGE for people who use ProRes. 64GB RAM and 400GBPS bandwidth are both accurate and both are going to have an impact. “industry leading performance per watt” is subjective, we'll have to see when YouTubers start getting the Macs. 5NM process, 4 displays, and CPU/GPU core counts are also accurate. Thunderbolt 4 and Secure Enclave was already there in M1.

Yeah - they could've at least mentioned the benchmarks and exact GPU + wattage they used.

The part where the guy on the left speaks about the notch in this video, you can probably see that they already have the new Macs and have also used it. The date where the reviewers are allowed to drop their reviews are on the 25th. So can't wait!

Also it's been leaked by some guy lol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Yiei5o3Ts
