For comparison, Apple’s 5nm chip M1 Max scores 1785 in single-thread performance. Now here is the result of Intel’s 12900HK Alder Lake Mobility flagship in Geekbench:Īlder Lake’s powerful p-cores easily take the top spot in the single-thread benchmark with a score of 1851. The introduction of ultra-low power “e-cores” will further improve performance on the mobile side, as Alder Lake’s big.LITTLE design has been developed specifically for mobile use. However, starting with Alder Lake (which is based on Intel 7), that advantage will seriously shrink as Intel finally moves to a sub-14nm node on its desktop side. It even managed to beat Intel’s flagship desktop chip: the Intel Core i9 11900K.Īs we tech enthusiasts know, Intel has been stuck with the 14nm process for quite a long time and has only recently recovered from that mishap, meaning Apple chips have had a distinct node advantage over the past few years (and even AMD chips). Geekbench has always been a benchmark where Apple has the upper hand (because it relies heavily on algorithmic optimizations), but it was still pretty impressive to see Apple’s M1 Max outclass everything in sight in terms of x86 hardware.

And while I doubt the x86 architecture will ever beat ARM on power efficiency, absolute performance (with roughly comparable battery life) is another matter entirely. The Apple M1 Max is a fantastic chip that will push both AMD and Intel to the max. While we don’t have the results for AMD’s next generation of mobile chips, we do have the results for the current generation of x86 chips as well as the validated result for Apple’s M1 Max. Processors that will compete against Apple’s M1 Max processors, which are currently clawing for market share, as well as AMD’s upcoming mobile chips. We, that is WCCFTECH, were able to exclusively get our hands on the very first benchmarks for Intel’s upcoming Alder Lake mobile processors. Even though today is Sunday, I didn’t want you to miss this information. That’s why I’ll let Usman have the floor in the following and also leave the we-form of the original as it is. Surely a simple quote and the usual paraphrasing of a news story wouldn’t have been fair enough there. I have something very interesting for my readers today and I am taking over the article from my friend Usman Pirzada more or less in the original, so I have also put him as the actual author.
