Intel says in the WebXPRT 3 test, using the same version of Chrome for both the Core i7 system as well as the Arm-native MacBook, Intel takes the lead. Intel Claim: MacBook M1 is slower than Core i7 Since we enjoy a good reality TV fight, we’ll detail Intel’s claims and tell you whether to believe them or not. Intel, however, says it has benchmark receipts. The normal reaction from outside observers and die-hard Apple fanboys is to dismiss these challenges as sour grapes. In November, Intel did the same with AMD’s Ryzen 4000, which it found to suffer degraded performance when running on battery in many situations. In the parlance of our time, it’s “shots fired” yet again, with Intel highlighting problems in competing products.
An 11th gen Core i7-1185G7 can match or greatly exceed the M1’s performance in a MacBook Pro in both native and non-native applications.After months of silence about Apple’s impressive M1 chip, Intel just clapped back with a carefully crafted takedown of the Arm-based chip.
