Apple held its last virtual event for year recently and unveiled ir latest MI Chip. company has claimed that its new chips are faster than Intel Core i7 processors which were used in previous generations of MacBook Pro. It is interesting that at times where Intel itself has evolved to make i9 its best processor chip, Apple is still comparing ir new chip with w-lower grade i7 processor. However, a truthful comparison by trillion-dollar tech company is always a welcoming change. Read below to check out Apple's M1 Chip Vs Intel i7 -

Apple's M1 Chip Vs Intel i7

From get-go of comparison, Apple's M1 chip does t start off to be shining armour it is being touted as but later finds to hold its ground. M1 chip, in this comparison, is being compared to Intel Core i7-10875H. Talking about Frequency, single Turbo core, and all Turbo cores, intel i7 makes a clear winner.

While Apple M1 comes with a frequency of 1.80 GHz, i7 tops at 2.30 GHz. single-core Turbo power which plays a big part in chip's and performance of entire device is lacking in M1 too, clocking in at just 3.10 GHz, as compared to monstrous 5.1 GHz of i7. Besides this, All Cores Turbo power of M1 comes a little close to i7's 3.21 GHz with 3.10 GHz.

In GPU frequency and performance is where M1 chip shines, prompting that it is t just a well-packd power housing chip, but also an efficient one at same time. GPU frequency of Intel i7 looks inferior to M1's 1.80 GHz with its 0.35 GHz power. Turbo power of GPU in i7 also falls short with only 1.20 GHz as compared to Apple M1's 3.10 GHz. techlogy used to develop chip is also drastically different.

M1 chip is based on 5NM techlogy used even in Apple's latest iPhones. On or hand, i7 is based upon 14NM techlogy. However, it is too early to judge real-time performance of a chip based upon on-paper specifications. it will be a few months before a concrete comparison of two chips makes its way to internet.
