If we were to tell you that Apple would release its M1 MacBook Air sporting a fanless cooling design that nearly ends up beating the company’s $5,000 2019 Mac Pro, you wouldn’t believe us, right? We’d probably have a hard time digesting what the new MacBook Air brought to the table too. Fortunately, it’s 2020, and Apple has made a significant number of changes to its Mac lineup, including introducing its first-ever custom silicon for them, the 5nm M1. The comparison results are quite impressive, to say the least, showing how capable Apple’s chip division has become.

Our previous benchmark reporting revealed to our readers that the M1 MacBook Air was more powerful than a Core i9-powered 16-inch MacBook Pro, so how does the latest portable Mac fare against the 2019 Mac Pro? Quite well, now that you’ve asked, and you should take a look at the scores below.
