So yeah, go M1.īut wait!-AMD is here to say hello to its cousin from TSMC. It also comes scarily close to Intel’s 8-core Core i7-10870H in the even heavier Gigabyte Aorus 17. Freed of Rosetta translation, the 8-core M1 can match the performance of a 6-core Core i7-10750H in the larger, heavier and better-cooled Acer Predator Triton 500. In the non-native version, the 8-core M1 was actually slower than the 4-core Core i7-1185G7 Tiger Lake CPU (MSI Prestige 14).

The new version also offers native Apple M1 support.Īs you can see, the M1 in the MacBook Pro picks up a lot of performance. Maxon has updated Cinebench R20 to Cinebench R23, and among the new changes is a default stress test mode, which runs the system for a minimum of 10 minutes. In Cinebench R20 single-threaded, the MacBook Pro with M1 keeps up better, but AMD Ryzen 5000 and Intel 11th-gen Core i7 prevail. To be honest, they’re mostly in the same ballpark, but the standouts are AMD’s new Ryzen 5000 in the Asus ROG Flow X13, and Intel’s 11th-gen Tiger lake chip in the MSI Prestige 14. Longer bars indicate better performance.Ĭinebench R20 allows you to run using a single thread, so we did that with all of the laptops. In Cinebench R20 multi-threaded, the Asus ROG Flow X13 conquers all, and the MacBook Pro M1 falls nearly to the back of the pack.

But we’d be playing favorites if we didn’t mention that one huge disadvantage to the MacBook Pro is the use of Apple’s Rosetta 2 to handle translation of the x86 code to Arm. The MacBook Pro M1 doesn’t look so hot and actually loses to the 11th-gen Core i7-1185G7 CPU in the MSI Prestige 14. We did want to include the results for reference, as some may wonder what you get if you’re willing to carry the extra pounds. The same goes for the even heavier (and more powerful) Gigabyte Aorus 17.

We don’t really think anyone would put the five-pound Acer Predator Triton 500 in the same class as any of the three-pound laptops. The Asus ROG Flow X13 weighs just 3 pounds despite having a Ryzen 9 5980HS inside of it. We didn’t have access to an XG Mobile for our review, as it was stuck in customs. In fact, it can’t be purchased without the custom-designed GeForce RTX 3080-based XG Mobile that’s connected using a proprietary x8 PCIe connection. The Flow X13 does offer one thing the MacBook Pro doesn’t: external GPU support. It features a 14-inch, 16:10 aspect-ratio touch panel with a 4K HDR+ screen and weighs 2.9 pounds.
