A content creator focused on the world of Apple, Luke Miani, calculated how much the next flagship processor of the Cupertino giant, known as Apple M1X, and the results were quite surprising.
The chip in question would have a maximum configuration of 12 cores at 3.20 GHz, being 8 Firestorm cores (high performance), and 4 Icestorm cores (low consumption). It would also be capable of supporting up to 32 GB of LPDDR4X RAM at 4266 MHz and would be accompanied by a GPU with 16 cores (256 EU) at 3.20 GHz with 16 GB of dedicated memory.
According to Miani’s estimates, the Apple M1X would be 1.77 times faster than the M1. The user comments that he arrived at these numbers by comparing the differences between the A12 / A12Z (1.68), and the A14 / M1 (1.87), and then taking an average. Needless to say, these are mere estimates and guesswork, so the final results may differ.
Thanks to these calculations, Miani predicted some results from Geekbench 5 and Cinebench R23. In the first, the Apple M1X would get 13,586 points, which would be 25% faster than the Core i9-10900K (10 cores) and 30% faster than the Ryzen 7 5800X (8 cores).
As for Cinebench R23, the situation changes for the 12-core chip and is shown with favorable results for Intel and AMD processors, which are faster in this synthetic benchmark (by little), although they consume much more than the M1X.
Apple’s M1X is expected to arrive with a TDP de 35W for notebooks, and a 45W version that could make its way to the 2021 iMac, while the Ryzen 7 5800X has a TDP of 105W and the Core i9-10900K of 125W.
Is the Apple M1X powerful?
