#2They can benchmark all they want. My M1 macbook pro is silent, even during a facetime or zoom call. The battery lasts more than a day which is incredible, and has never burned my legs while watching a youtube video. Every laptop I've ever owned has been Intel and has never been able to do what this machine can do.

#3> Intel claims that the M1 in the MacBook Pro it tested failed eight out of 25 tests it uses, including "Switch to Calendar'' in Outlook, "start video conference" in Zoom, and "Select picture Menu" in PowerPoint.
Honestly, what's the point of these office related benchmarks other than marketing nonsense? When has these tasks ever matter performance wise?

Yeah same, this laptop is super snappy and makes my desktop pc that on paper should run circles around the M1 feel slow. Chrome is the only thing on M1 that still feels 'legacy'. Pixelmator pro is damn near instant which is just nuts.

#5"Gaming was a mix, with Intel and Apple trading blows with integrated graphics. But Intel also got a little snarky, placing Apple at 0 frames per second for a number of games that don't currently work on macOS and the M1 CPU."
That's actually pretty funny.

#6Sadly this is intel clutching at whatever it can to prove it's relevant.
The real engineering feat of the M1 processor was how quickly it came to market and its performance per watt for real world usage of common web tasks and anything within the Apple ecosystem.
As nice as battery life benchmarks are, I know that the Intel CPU will ramp up and chew through it's maximum rated wattage while keeping under it's thermal limit. An Apple SOC on the other hand will hum along nicely.

#7I have an 8 core mac pro, 64 gb of ram. I bought a 16 gb ram M1 macbook air for my assistant so she could edit videos for me.
We did a render test using an app compiled for apple silicon. The fanless MacBook air beat the imac pro by a solid 15 percent or so.
I was expecting a result like that but it’s still stunning to see. We did the render test in camtasia, which is what I had used to make a screen recording.

Hell Intel said it in of the slide:
More than performance - It's about choice
Would love to know to whom Intel is presenting this ?
Super excited to see next M1 iterations and what Apple pull of with sw/os updates.

Yeah I really don't understand why a zoom/skype video call absolutely MURDERS the battery on my laptop.
It's basically just video playback. How is it so hard on the CPU?

#10Isn't Apple's claim about the M1 best performance per watt not best performance overall?
