Geekbench CPU single/multi and GPU Metal scores.
- M1: 2,347 / 8,342 / 32,377
- M2: 2,587 / 9,669 / 44,712
- A18Pro: 3,539 / 8,772 / 32,288
So Neo is really comparable with the M1, although it has quite faster single core speed.
Single core is close to M4, even.
I’m using a used M1 air as my daily for editing tens of thousands of photos, tons of 4K video editing, web and light dev work.
It’s still the fastest computer I’ve ever used. (No Tahoe for me)
For daily use the single core speed is the most important. Web browsing, UI render, etc., is still single threaded mostly.
