First Mac Mini ARM Tests : Faster than current laptops, Even at half the power

Not so long ago, Apple announced the transition from Intel processors to its own ARM-chips. To simplify this process, test samples of the Mac Mini with the Apple A12Z mobile chipset were sent to developers around the world. Having received the Developer Transition Kit, many of them began to lay out the results of performance tests on the network.

First Mac Mini ARM tests: faster than current laptops, even at half the power

As it turned out, the Mac Mini on the two-year Apple A12Z processor is roughly equal in power to the current MacBook Air on Intel. The computer showed 839 points in a single-core and 2951 in a multi-core test.

Moreover, the device produces such a result with four disabled cores, that is, working not at full strength. The fact is that the Geekbench test is not yet optimized for ARM and cannot use the full power of the Developer Transition Kit by launching through Rosetta 2 virtualization technology.

It is expected that the first Apple ARM-laptops will not work on the A12Z processor, but will receive a more powerful new-generation chipset.
