Haven't had time to start a game yet but here are my initial graphic benchmark times from all my Macs:
iMac 2020 (32GB RAM, 3.8GHz i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5700)
Avg Frame Time: 12.771ms
99th Percentile: 17.850ms
MacBook Pro 2020 (16GB RAM, 2.6GHz i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M)
Avg Frame Time: 10.702ms
99th Percentile: 13.846ms
MacBook Air 2020 (16GB RAM, M1)
Avg Frame Time: 12.901ms
99th Percentile: 17.014ms
Looks like the new M1 chips matches the i7 in the iMac with the MBP coming out ahead. Or do I have that backwards?
Will do more as time allows.
I know it just released today, but was wondering if anyone has got to play Civ VI on their new Air? How is the performance? And do you have the 7 or 8 core?
I believe you get the 7 core GPU with the 8GB version and all 8 cores with 16GB RAM.
Still early in the manufacturing process so some dead cores are likely (IE, failed testing). From my understanding Apple simply chose to use them in the very lower end model instead of throwing them away. The overall difference between the two should be practically nil to the average user.
