In the last year Apple announced their step back from Intel chipsets for Mac devices and will finally be using their own Apple silicon, which turned into Apple M1 with 5nm processing. But, Intel has now stepped out with benchmarks sheet for an attempt to prove that the company's latest 11th generation Core processors are quite superior to Apple's custom developed M1 chip. The report has materialized these benchmarks as "carefully crafted".
Intel also states that Topaz Lab’s AI-based photo enlargement software gigapixel AI performed 6x faster on its Core i7 processor compared to M1 MacBook Pro. However, In terms of gaming performance, the results were somehow confused one.
Mac is not ideal for gaming because it lacks support for countless games like Gear Tactics, Hitman 2 and others - says Intel.
The firm conducted a real world battery life test also, to find that both the M1 MacBook Air and the Acer Swift 5 with 11th-Gen Core i7 processor achieved almost the same 10 hour battery life when streaming Netflix with additional tabs open. Both laptops were set to 250 nits of display brightness, with MacBook Air running the native Safari browser and Acer Swift 5 running Chrome.
