Intel reportedly releases new benchmarks suggesting that Apple's M1 chip isn't faster 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 vs Apple M1 February 08, 2021 / 02:50 PM IST Last year, Apple began its transition from Intel to its own ARM-based silicone for future Macs. During its launch event, Apple showed its 5nm ARM-based M1 silicone to outperform previous Intel chips. However, a recent PC World report suggests that Intel’s claims its 11th Gen processors can easily take on and outpace the ARM-based M1 chip. The report stated, “Intel just clapped back with a carefully crafted takedown of the Arm-based chip.” Intel’s testing showed that the Intel Core i7-1185G7 could “match or greatly exceed the M1’s performance in a MacBook Pro in both native and non-native applications.”
