The latest tests show that Intel’s latest Tiger Lake processors for laptops stand out against Apple’s M1 chip.
Cinebench R23
Taking a look at the oft-cited Cinebench R23 benchmark, the latest Intel Core i7-1185G7 Tiger Lake mobile processor (10 nanometers) actually outperforms M1 in single-core benchmarks, according to figures released by cpu-monkey.
Single-core Cinebench R23:
—I7: 1538
—M1: 1,514
The M1, however, beats the Core i7 1185G7 on multi-core Cinebench 23 – but not by the huge margins the media might suggest.
Multicore Cinebench R23:
—M1: 7,760
– i7: 6,264
Geekbench:
Geekbench favors the M1 over the Intel Core i7 1185G7 but, again, not enough for Windows laptop users to notice it over an M1-based MacBook Pro.
Single-core Geekbench 5:
—M1: 1718 (single core)
—I7: 1,578 (single core)
On multicore Geekbench 5, this is a bigger gap, but not a huge one.
Multicore Geekbench 5:
—M1: 7,534 (multicore)
– i7: 6 102 (multicore)
The Intel Core i7 1185G7 processor is already used in popular laptops * like the latest Dell XPS 13.
While Apple has pulled off a coup with its new M1, Intel is no slouch. This is something to keep in mind as the Tiger Lake laptops roll out in the weeks and months to come.
