Also thanks to Paul Haddad of Tapbots for guidance here.ДЄs you can see, the M1 performs admirably well across all models, with the MacBook and Mac Mini edging out the MacBook Air. This is the one deviation from the specs I mentioned above as my 13вЂќ had issues that I couldnвЂ™t figure out so I had some Internet friends help me. I checked WebKit out from GitHub and ran a build on all of the machines with no parameters. Right up top IвЂ™m going to start off with the real вЂoh shitвЂ™ chart of this piece.

Many of these benchmarks also include numbers from the M1 Mac mini review from Matt Burns and the M1 MacBook Air, tested by Brian Heater, which you can check out here.

2019 Mac Pro 12-Core 3.3GHz 48GB w/AMD Radeon Pro Vega II 32GB.

Here are the machines I used for testing: All tests were run multiple times with cooldown periods in between in order to try to achieve a solid baseline. I ran the benchmarks with the machines plugged in and then again on battery power to estimate peak performance as well as per watt. I ran a battery of tests designed to push these laptops in ways that reflected both real world performance and tasks as well as synthetic benchmarks. My methodology for my testing was pretty straightforward.

And companies like Adobe and Microsoft are already hard at work bringing native M1 apps to the Mac, so the most needed productivity or creativity apps will essentially get a free performance bump of around 30% when they go native. ItвЂ™s just simply not a factor in most instances. And IвЂ™m happy to say that this is pretty easy to do because I was unable to track any real performance hit when comparing it to older, even вЂmore powerful on paperвЂ™ Macs like the 16вЂќ MacBook Pro. Apple would like us to forget the original Rosetta from the PowerPC transition as much as we would all like to forget it. But the real nut of it is that it has managed to make a chip so powerful that it can take the approximately 26% hit (see the following charts) in raw power to translate apps and still make them run just as fast if not faster than MacBooks with Intel processors. IвЂ™m sure weвЂ™ll get more detailed breakdowns of how Apple achieved what it has with this new emulation layer that makes x86 applications run fine on the M1 architecture. There is both a lot to say and not a lot to say about Rosetta 2. But itвЂ™s clear that iOS, though present, is not where it needs to be on M1. Provided that the Catalyst ports can be bothered to build in Mac-centric behaviors and interactions, of course. But the app experience on the M1 is pretty firmly in this order right now: Native M1 app>Rosetta 2 app>Catalyst app> iOS app. ItвЂ™s super cool for a second to have instant native support for iOS on the Mac, but at the end of the day this is a marketing win, not a user experience win.ДЄpple gets to say that the Mac now supports millions of iOS apps, but the fact is that the experience of using those apps on the M1 is sub-par. Yes, thatвЂ™s right, no full-screen iOS or iPad apps at all.

There is no default tool-tip that explains how to replicate common iOS interactions like swipe-from-edge - instead a badly formatted cheat sheet is buried in a menu. The current iOS app experience on an M1 machine running Big Sur is almost comical itвЂ™s so silly. That, however, is where the compliments end. I even ran an iOS-based graphics benchmark which showed just fine. Benchmarks run on iOS apps show that they perform natively with no overhead.

Apps install from the App Store and run smoothly, without incident. ThatвЂ™s the kindest thing I can say about it. The iOS experience on the M1 machines isвЂ¦present.

It feels like an iOS device in all the best ways.ДЄt the chip level, it also is an iOS device. ThatвЂ™s what moving to this M1 MacBook feels like after using other Macs.Д®very click is more responsive. YouвЂ™ve been carrying the load so long you didnвЂ™t know how heavy it was. If youвЂ™ve ever dealt with ongoing pain from a condition or injury, and then had it be alleviated by medication, therapy or surgery, you know how the sudden relief feels. One illustration I have been using to describe what this will feel like to a user of current MacBooks is that of chronic pain. ThatвЂ™s the best way I can describe it succinctly. And it does it while using a fraction of the power. And even then only with powerful dedicated cards like the 5500M or VEGA II.Д¬ompiling projects like WebKit produce better build times than nearly any machine (hell the M1 Mac Mini beats the Mac Pro by a few seconds). Video editing and rendering is super performant, only falling behind older machines when it leverages the GPU heavily.
