M1 MacBook Pro vs Dell XPS 13 9310 comparison - Max Tech. The MacBook Pro M1 is not just slightly faster. It crushes the XPS.
tl;dw - in favor of the M1:
-
SSD write speed +100% 😱
-
Browsing speed +35%
-
CPU single core +15% multi core +40% (with XPS plugged and performance mode "utlra" activated, which would have an adverse effect on the battery and is not enabled by default)
-
GPU +20%
-
GFX Gaming bench +100%
-
Idle temp 35C vs 25C and power 1.5W vs …​ 26mW for the M1!
-
Cinebench R23 (10 minutes run) +60% (with throttling on the Dell despite full fans, while Apple let the heat build up to keep quiet fans, dubious choice but still a far better outcome)
-
Lightroom Export: same speed, except if Chrome is opened with plently of tabs, then M1 80% faster. Looks like there is a huge difference in memory management! Davinci Resolve export +120%
-
Screen slightly better on the M1
-
Webcam and microphone seriously better on the M1
My numbers are rough approximations of the measures seen in the video. A very competent laptop indeed.
