So Jason Snell has some has some charts that will link.

You can see his numbers are slightly different than mine, because, again, when you look up Geekbench stuff, there's lots of individual.

You run the Geekbench app and you upload your results to the website and tons of people doing that.

You get widely varying numbers depending on what was going on in their system, what temperature things were, all sorts of variables that are not under your control.

But Geekbench does publish like I don't know how they do it.

They average it or something.

They publish like top charts.

where, you know, organized by machine and CPU.

That's where I was pulling mine from.

And I don't know if Jason's numbers are slightly different, but here's what it boils down to.

This thing for single core is actually better than the M1.

And for multi-core and GPU, it's about the same as the M1.

So if you want to characterize what is it going to be like to use a Mac with the A18 Pro,

The specs say from Geekbench, which again is just a benchmark or whatever, the specs say that it should be roughly like using an M1 that is a little bit peppier in single core.

And single core does make a difference for people just doing, you know, dorking around on their computer and doing stuff because, you know, the main thread in your application, the thing you're interacting with,

That one single thread is probably going to be in a power core because it's an interactive thread and all this other stuff.

And that core, single core performance, is faster in the 18 Pro than it is in the M1 by a significant amount.

19% is not within the range of variability of Geekbench scores.

So...

That's good.
