Apple’s A12Z Bionic GPU Running macOS 11 Through Rosetta 2 Beats Both Ryzen 5 4500U, Core i7-1065G7 iGPUs in OpenCL Test

The A12Z Bionic isn’t that much different from the A12X Bionic other than the fact that it has one GPU core enabled, resulting in a total of eight cores. However, running through Apple’s translation layer Rosetta 2 means that there would be some performance loss experienced when running macOS 11, as seen in previously leaked benchmarking results. Fortunately, in an OpenCL test, the A12Z Bionic’s GPU is still powerful enough to best not one, but two processor’s integrated graphics solution, as you’ll soon find out.
There are two results shared by _rogame; one where the A12Z Bionic GPU takes on the Ryzen 5 4500U iGPU featuring a total of six cores running at 1500MHz. The CPU was running in the 15-inch HP Envy x360 Convertible and the results are very close to one another, though the A12Z Bionic’s GPU takes the lead against the Windows 10-powered machine. Running the same test on the Microsoft Surface Book 3 featuring an Intel Core i7-1065G7 saw the same results; the A12Z Bionic only marginally gaining a lead against the processor.
