That’s why Diet Coke doesn’t outright call Diet Pepsi undrinkable swill (even though it is.) Yes, you may think one multi-billion dollar company publicly beefing with another multi-billion dollar company means “it’s all fake benchmarks,” but that’s probably not the case because of the huge liability risk Intel might face. Our take: We’d really need to run similar tests, but we don’t doubt the results. And yes, Intel used the Arm-native versions of Office for its tests. It also shows the Core i7 pummeling the M1 in a PowerPoint-to-PDF export, and in multiple Excel macros by a factor of 2.3x. Intel doesn’t just use WebXPRT 3, though. The Intel chip was largely ahead in WebXPRT 3, and the x86 chip was nearly three times faster in finishing the photo enhancement test.

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. The new MacBooks have a range of compatibility issues, from multiple monitor to game controllers, as well as many documented software plug-in problems.The M1 just won’t run a lot of software.The MacBook Pro wouldn’t pass muster to be certified as an Evo laptop.In battery life, it’s pretty much a wash.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.
