In the wake of Apple’s WWDC 2022 event and the upcoming reveal of its silicon, the Apple M2, new benchmarks for the chip are appearing, and they have a huge impact.
As noted in the Geekbench database (opens in a new tab) and reported through 9to5mac, this is the first reference to date of the new silicon. It turns out that it verifies Apple’s claimed comparison between M1 and M2: Apple claims that the M2 processor is 18% faster than the M1 processor and that the M2 GPU is 35% faster than the M1’s.
The benchmark shows the speed of M2 at 3. 49 GHz versus 3. 2 GHz for M1, representing a cumulative of around 9%. functionality is 19. 45% faster than the M1.
When TechRadar can verify the M2 ourselves, we’ll be able to better measure those functionality scores and if they’re legitimate, yet it looks like Apple has produced an impressive chip.
Apple’s resolve to abandon Intel in favor of its own silicon becomes even more prophetic with each and every chip Apple releases.
If Geekbench’s scores are to be believed, Apple’s M2 chip is only surpassed in single-core functionality through Intel Alder Lake’s Core i9 12900-K and i9 12900-KF chips, which is a surprising result if true given that they are desktop processors. . , the cellular variants of Alder Lake.
Lately there are two client chips that are faster than the M2 in terms of single-core performance. i9-12900K and KF.

Apple’s departure from Intel was a blow to Team Blue, no doubt. But the last year has been perfect for Intel thanks to the phenomenal functionality of its new Alder Lake processors. If Apple M2 starts showing the same kind of numbers we see in those leaked references, Alder Lake might not be the subject of verbal exchange from the city for a long time.
