On average, an independent benchmarking project run by Pfeiffer Consulting has found that Apple’s M1 Macs can deliver up to a 116 percent average performance increase than a similarly configured Intel-based MacBook Pro. Now, if that is not impressive then we do not know what is.

Apple’s M1 MacBook Pro featuring 16GB of unified RAM, coupled with 2TB of PCIe NVMe SSD, was pitted against an Intel-based MacBook Pro sporting a Core i5 CPU, with the same RAM and storage count. In short, Apple’s M1 chip shows the company’s superiority in chip design as it not just delivers better performance but far better battery life. As far as the benchmark goes, it was designed to analyze in detail how the first generation of Apple Silicon hardware performs in the context of creative workflows.
