The WWDC 2021 Developers Conference will open at 1:00 am on June 8th, Hong Kong time. It is rumored that there will be a new MacBook in addition to a series of OS. The new generation of MacBook Pro is expected to add a new M1X processor. Will this rumor come true? We will know soon.
According to a report by foreign media Dave2D, the new Apple M1X will be equipped with a 10-core CPU (two more than the M1), including 8 high-performance cores and 2 energy-efficient cores. The GPU will be equipped with a 16-core or 32-core GPU (the M1 is only an 8-core GPU). In addition to easily meeting the needs of video editing users for graphics performance, it is also good in games. Now, there is some running score data outflow.
In the high mode of GFXBench 5.0 Aztec, the running score is tested. The 16-core GPU M1X is expected to reach 110+FPS, and the 32-core GPU M1X is expected to reach 170+FPS, which is 40-100 higher than the existing M1 running score. About points. In addition, comparing the current popular PC graphics cards GTX 1650, Radeon Pro 5500M, RTX 3070 laptops, you can find that the 32-core GPU M1X graphics performance can be comparable to the most powerful RTX 3070 among them.
Of course, power consumption is particularly important on laptop computers. The power consumption range of RTX 3070 graphics card is 80~125, while 16-core M1X and 32-core M1X benefit from the ARM architecture power of 20W and 40W respectively. The gap is very obvious, which means battery life. There will be an absolute advantage in this regard.
In addition, M1X supports up to 64GB of memory and supports more Thunderbolt ports to meet rich expansion needs. So, stay tuned for June 8.
