Apple products are one of the best products

I'd run out and buy the 16g model right now if Apple would give me a touchscreen.

Really impressive. It's a shame that Microsoft Windows doesn't have a retail ARM edition that users can run on Apple Silicon. Despite such great performing hardware, the OS of choice is Windows for many, not macOS.

No, the Macbook pro won't have better Geekbench scores. The macbook pro has the same performance as the Air, except that it can sustain it for longer, which makes no difference in Geekbench, which does not measure sustained performance

Could you be so kind and test/publish Cinebench scores of M1 MacBook Air vs M1 MacBook Pro ahead of full reviews? The Whole World is holding breath (and wallets).

Best regards,

It should also be noted that the emulated x86 geekbench scores were on a Macbook Air...   that is the fanless, passively cooled M1 model.   From everything I've seen from interviews and such the actively cooled M1 should have better performance characteristics.

The Apple M1 has already been flexing its muscles in benchmarks, but it seems that the ARM-based chipset has enough grunt to emulate x86 programs. The MacBook Air still manages MacBook Pro 16-esque performance in Geekbench, even with 8 GB of RAM.
