<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A spate of zero-day attacks have hit Google’s Chrome browser in the last few weeks, and you can <a href="https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-patches-2-severe-chrome-flaws-being-exploited-by-hackers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">add two more to the list</a>. Google released a patch this week to fix the security flaws in its browser, but we don’t know exactly what the flaws are. Unlike the last few zero-days, Google didn’t find these security holes itself. Instead, it was tipped by anonymous third-parties, and the problems are severe enough that it hasn’t released full details. Suffice it to say, you should stop putting off that update. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google’s internal security team is constantly trying to break Chrome in order to uncover potential bugs before they become the basis for a harmful malware campaign. And indeed, Google catches a lot of glitches and pushes out patches before anyone outside the company notices. A zero-day exploit is one that Google and the developer community didn’t catch, and could therefore leave millions of machines open to attack. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We usually get details on patches in Chrome, but Google has temporarily withheld details of these latest flaws because both have been used in the wild as attack vectors. One of the flaws, CVE-2020-16013, is related to Google’s V8 JavaScript engine. The second is CVE-2020-16017, and this one is a “use after free” problem in memory management that allows code to leak out of Chrome’s Site Isolation sandbox. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-269491" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo-640x353.jpg" alt="chrome logo" width="640" height="353" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo-640x353.jpg 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo-300x166.jpg 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo-768x424.jpg 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo-106x59.jpg 106w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo-672x371.jpg 672w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/chrome-logo.jpg 1344w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Without more details, we can’t say if these bugs are any more severe than the others we’ve seen lately. However, they could have a much greater impact simply by virtue of the fact that internet ne’er-do-wells figured out how to exploit them before Google even knew there was a problem. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’re protected as long as you’re on Chrome version 86.0.4240.198 or higher. You can check on that in Settings > Help > About Chrome. If you haven’t updated yet, you might have a nagging “update” badge at the top of <a href="https://www.extremetech.com/tag/chrome">Chrome</a> right now. Just give in. These are serious bugs that are being actively used to take over computers. Granted, high-value vulnerabilities like these are usually used to target a specific set of individuals. This still isn’t a chance you want to take, and the details of these vulnerabilities won’t stay secret forever. You don’t want to be running an old version of Chrome when the details are widely known.</span></p>

<p>We haven’t even gotten to talk about the results of features like AMD’s Smart Access Memory, and Team Red’s competitors are already lining up to pledge support for an equivalent feature. SAM is AMD’s first-ever method of taking advantage of the fact that it owns its entire IP stack — CPU, GPU, and platform. According to AMD, it can use this fact to boost system performance when you combine an RDNA2 card and a Ryzen CPU with an X570 motherboard.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-317346" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory-640x353.png" alt="" width="640" height="353" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory-640x353.png 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory-300x166.png 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory-768x424.png 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory-106x59.png 106w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Ryzen-Smart-AccessMemory-672x371.png 672w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>Specifically, <a href="https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/316698-amds-new-radeon-rx-6000-series-is-optimized-to-battle-ampere" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AMD claims</a> that it can give the CPU full access to GPU RAM rather than limiting the system to a 256MB aperture window for data transfers. We don’t know if the large Infinity Cache integrated into RDNA2 plays a part in this. No one has stuck a 128MB cache in a GPU before, so the idea that it could play a role in boosting data transfers in and out of VRAM isn’t crazy, especially since cache latency is presumably quite a bit lower than the time it takes to go out to GDDR6.</p>
<p>According to GamersNexus, Nvidia is capable of doing something similar:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Hard to fit in a tweet, but basically, they're working on enabling the same feature as AMD Smart Access Memory (AMD GPU+CPU=Perf uplift) on both Intel and AMD. No ETA yet. Doesn't look like it'll be ready before RX 6000 launch, but we'll keep an eye on development.</p>
<p>— GamersNexus (@GamersNexus) <a href="https://twitter.com/GamersNexus/status/1327006797794828292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2020</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>
<script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Nvidia claims that the feature is part of the PCIe specification, that it has the capability working internally, and that it is already seeing similar performance results. There’s no ETA on when the feature might be available in-driver.</p>
<p>AMD has not publicly disclosed whether Smart Access Memory depends on features beyond the ability to adjust the size of this aperture (Intel refers to this as the <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000028294/graphics.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">IGD Aperture Size</a>), or if it is additionally enhanced by capabilities of Zen 3 or the B550 / X570 chipset. It would definitely change the framing of the feature if Nvidia were capable of activating it on both Intel and AMD systems — but if it is, the likely end result would be AMD activating the capability for Intel systems as well.</p>
<p>Historically, in order for capabilities to become common, both GPU manufacturers have to agree to use a common standard. Nvidia introduced ray tracing using Microsoft’s DXR, for example, but it was only when AMD added the capability to next-gen consoles and its own GPUs that it really began taking off in the mass market. If Nvidia and Intel can both take advantage of a feature that AMD currently only enables for AMD customers, the company will likely enable it on Intel platforms as well, or risk losing match-ups to its biggest rival.</p>
<p>AMD is unlikely to want to risk that outcome. It’s one thing for the company to enable additional performance by leveraging commonalities within its own ecosystem and another to artificially limit performance on competitor platforms.</p>
<p>No matter what, though, the end result seems to be a consumer win. If Nvidia successfully adds this feature, game performance goes up for Nvidia customers. If AMD responds by enabling it for Intel as well, performance goes up for AMD + Intel customers. If, on the other hand, Nvidia (or hypothetically, Intel) can’t match AMD’s gains or fundamental capabilities, we’ll have evidence that the company really is taking advantage of its cross-product IP in new and interesting ways.</p>

<p>Western Digital has made some changes to how it brands its WD Red Plus hard drive family after taking heat for its decision to mislabel its hard drive speeds earlier this year. At the time, individual customers performed some rather clever acoustic analysis to confirm that the hard drives Western Digital claimed were 5400 RPM drives were actually 7200 RPM drives.</p>
<p>Western Digital protested that this labeling was fine, because “5400 RPM class” isn’t the same as “5400 RPM”, but it ignored the fact that 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM drives typically have different power and thermal requirements, and that products designed explicitly for 5400 RPM products might have trouble with 7200 RPM drives. The idea that communicating honestly about its products is the best way to cultivate and maintain consumer trust doesn’t appear to have occurred to anyone, either.</p>
<p>The company has now announced that it will retire certain WD Red Plus model numbers and launch new ones to replace them. Nothing is changing about the drives themselves; Western Digital is just being honest about the fact that these are 7200 RPM drives instead of 5400 RPM drives. Heise.de reports that the <a href="https://www.heise.de/news/Nach-Kritik-an-5400-RPM-Class-Western-Digital-bringt-neue-WD-Red-Plus-HDDs-4954777.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new model numbers are</a>:</p>
<p>8 TByte: WD80EFBX (-68AZZN0) instead of WD80EFAX (-68KNBN0)<br />
10 TByte: WD101EFBX (-68B0AN0) instead of WD101EFAX (-68LDBN0)<br />
12 Tbytes: WD120EFBX (-68B0EN0) instead of WD120EFAX (-68UNTN0)<br />
14 TByte: WD140EFGX (-68B0GN0) instead of WD140EFFX (-68VBXN0)</p>
<p>Heisse reports that WD has also updated its WD Red Pro product sheet to read “7200 RPM” instead of “7200 RPM class.”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WDRedPlus.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-317328" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WDRedPlus-640x253.png" alt="" width="640" height="253" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WDRedPlus-640x253.png 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WDRedPlus-300x119.png 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WDRedPlus-768x304.png 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/WDRedPlus.png 1475w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The actual WD Red Plus product sheet hasn’t been updated yet, but presumably that’ll happen soon.</p>
<h3>Why Did Western Digital Do This in the First Place?</h3>
<p>The big question it’d be nice to have an explanation for is why on Earth WD did this at all. When Western Digital introduced performance classes with its Green drives, it did so as a way of hiding the fact that they spun at <em>less</em> than 5400 RPM, not to cleverly imply they had a slower spindle speed than they actually did.</p>
<p>I can imagine a scenario in which it just became easier for WD to run every drive at 7200 RPM. Back when the hard drive market was crippled by extensive flooding in 2011, one of the expected outcomes that came true was the disappearance of smaller SKUs. When companies replaced their damaged equipment, they phased out smaller and older products that had been cost-effective to produce so long as old factory equipment was still in play. Maybe WD decided to standardize all of its production on 7200 RPM motors — but why not just run the same motor at a slower speed? Alternately, why not just advertise that you now ship 7200 RPM drives standard in all product lines as a way of thumbing your nose at the competition?</p>
<p>It’s not strange for a company to sell a component variant that compensates for lower performance in one category with higher performance in another, such as compensating for slower spindle speeds with larger caches, or clocking a CPU with a smaller L2 at a higher frequency to compensate. But why did Western Digital go to such lengths — to the point of programming its hard drives to misreport their own SMART data — to fake the speed of its hard drives? Was it trying to prop up artificial market segmentation because it believed margins would drop if it sold mostly 7200 RPM drives?</p>
<p>The chances that consumers were injured by this misrepresentation are small, but WD has yet to explain its thinking.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, known more commonly as TSMC, has announced a major expansion in an unexpected place: the USA. TSMC says it will <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/news/tsmc-arizona-fab-investment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">build a new semiconductor fab in Arizona</a>. The project should get off the ground next year with funding from TSMC, the state of Arizona, and the federal government. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TSMC says it will found a wholly owned subsidiary in the US with $3.5 billion in resources. While building will get underway next year, jobs at the site will be mostly limited to construction until the facility goes into production in 2024. In all, TSMC expects to spend $12 billion on the Arizona fab between 2021 and 2029. Eventually, the fab will employ about 1,600 people, and it could compete for those employees with Intel, which has several fabs in Arizona. That’s good news for skilled workers in the state, as well as for TSMC. Intel’s presence means it won’t have to build a supply chain from scratch — there are already numerous local suppliers with whom TSMC can partner. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s just an estimate, of course. Delays could push the high-volume launch further out. TSMC hopes to be churning out 20,000 wafers per month in 2024 with a 5nm process. That’s the current top-of-the-line, but the company’s planned 4nm process could be available by the time the fab is done. Still, 5nm chips are happening now, and we’re talking about 2024. </span></p>
<div id="attachment_281817" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-281817" class="size-large wp-image-281817" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor-640x354.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="354" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor-640x354.jpg 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor-300x166.jpg 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor-768x425.jpg 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor-106x59.jpg 106w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor-672x371.jpg 672w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/TSMC-Semiconductor.jpg 881w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a>

</div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TSMC expects it will have a 3nm process up and running by late 2022. However, it plans to keep that production in Taiwan rather than roll it out to the US subsidiary. Most of the company’s high-profile customers such as Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm want TSMC’s most advanced process to make the fastest and most efficient chips possible. 20,000 wafers sounds like a lot, but it wouldn’t be enough to supply TSMC’s high-volume customers, even just those in America. That’s why it relies on “gigafabs” in Taiwan to manufacture the latest (and most popular) semiconductor designs. Come 2024, this fab might be churning out the kind of chips you see in embedded smart devices and budget phones. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Getting a foothold in the US is important for <a href="https://www.extremetech.com/tag/tsmc">TSMC</a> as it aims to compete with GlobalFoundries. With a US-based factory, the company might be able to bid on US government and military contracts that would require careful oversight and US manufacturing. That’s all still a long way off — we expect to hear more details about the Arizona facility early next year, but then news should dry up until it’s ready to come online in 2024.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Magnetars are some of the most extreme objects in the universe, and that’s saying something. These stellar remnants are neutron stars, but whereas most neutron stars are quiet and keep to themselves, magnetars have magnetic fields billions of times more powerful than Earth’s, and they may be the source of the mysterious Fast Radio Bursts astronomers have been tracking in recent years. We’ve never seen a magnetar come into being, but a new high-energy event several billion light-years away might be the first — a <a href="https://www.space.com/extra-bright-kilonova-from-neutron-star-collision" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">kilonova that signals the merging of two neutron stars</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Neutron stars, white dwarfs, and black holes are all stellar remnants that we hear about on a regular basis. The fate of a main-sequence star to become one of these objects is primarily a function of its mass. The largest stars become black holes, while slightly smaller ones become neutron stars. A star like the sun will eventually collapse into a white dwarf. A neutron star can also end up as a pulsar or magnetar, depending on its properties. Other neutron stars</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">can merge with each other to become magnetars, and that’s what astronomers think they’ve spotted. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scientists believe magnetars produce their ultra-strong magnetic field thanks to superconducting material sloshing around inside. The effects of magnetic fields this powerful are almost unfathomable, so naturally, the formation of such an object is a highly energetic event. The leading theories claim magnetars can come into being when two small-ish neutron stars collide. If they’re too large, the resulting object is a black hole, but with just the right mass, you end up with a magnetar. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hst_grb200522a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-317313" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hst_grb200522a-640x356.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="356" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hst_grb200522a-640x356.jpg 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hst_grb200522a-300x167.jpg 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hst_grb200522a-768x427.jpg 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/hst_grb200522a-106x59.jpg 106w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last May, astronomers detected a gamma-ray beacon from an object over 5.5 billion light years away. This matched the theoretical signature of a magnetar formation, so teams around the world turned their most powerful instruments toward the source, including NASA’s Swift Observatory in space, the Very Large Array in New Mexico, and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. The best data came from none other than the always-reliable Hubble Space Telescope.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hubble successfully detected the infrared emission (see above) from the formation of heavy elements like gold, platinum, and uranium. That’s another thing astronomers expect to see in a neutron star collision, sometimes known as a kilonova.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">The team notes that the IR signal was much brighter than anyone expected — 10 times brighter, in fact. For some, this could be confirmation of magnetar formation. If the neutron stars had formed a black hole, the IR emission would have been within expected ranges.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This research still needs to be vetted by other teams, but it’s available on the preprint <a href="https://arxiv.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">arXiv.org</a> server. If confirmed, this would be the first time we’ve seen a magnetar born, and the massive energy output recorded by Hubble could reveal a great deal about how these bizarre objects work.</span></p>

<p>The Apple M1 launched earlier this week, and benchmark results for the new chip are already starting to trickle out. While these initial tests are preliminary, they still paint a very positive picture for Apple’s upcoming CPU.</p>
<p>In Geekbench 5, an Apple M1 is capable of achieving a 1687 single-thread and 7433 multi-thread score. For comparison, the A14 inside an iPhone scores 1598 / 3995. This surge in multi-threaded performance is likely due to its higher core count (+2 high-performance Firestorm CPU cores) and the near-certainty of sustained higher clock speeds, courtesy of its larger chassis. In the past, iPhone CPUs have been heavily throttled due to high power consumption, so what we’re seeing here might represent the A14 finally stretching its legs.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GB5-M1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-317305" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GB5-M1-640x188.png" alt="" width="640" height="188" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GB5-M1-640x188.png 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GB5-M1-300x88.png 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GB5-M1-768x225.png 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/GB5-M1.png 1509w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a></p>
<p>These scores compare extremely well with existing Intel and AMD CPUs on the market. As always, I recommend caution when extrapolating from synthetic tests to real-world performance. Synthetics are useful for low-level feature analysis and they can shed light on interesting microarchitectural differences, but we don’t rely on them as our primary means of evaluating hardware.</p>
<p>The highest-end MacBook Pro 16-inch that Apple has ever sold features a Core i9-9980HK, an 8C/16T CPU with a base clock of 2.4GHz and a 5GHz boost. Measured performance for this CPU is <a href="https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4665538" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1149 / 7329 in GB5</a>. Now, this is an older 14nm CPU. Intel doesn’t currently ship an eight-core Ice Lake mobile CPU, but Apple also ships Intel’s quad-core, ICL-derived Core i7-1068NG7. That chip scores <a href="https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4665696" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1352 / 4914</a>. Apple is therefore leading in single-threaded performance even against Intel’s Sunny Cove architecture from 2019, and it’s leading in multi-threaded against the highest performing CPU cores that Intel chips in mobile. While Apple is only tying the Core i9-9980HK in multi-threaded, the M1’s Geekbench scores cleanly beat everything below that point, including the Core i9-9880H.</p>
<p>Since folks will be curious about AMD, here’s how things compare. GeekBench 5 clearly likes Zen 3 much more than Zen 2; the Ryzen 7 3700X scores a 1281 / 8220 in GeekBench 5 according to LegitReviews, while the Ryzen 7 5800X scores a <a href="https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4664736" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1673 / 11,246</a>. That’s a 1.3x and 1.36x improvement, respectively, which is well above the gains AMD told us to expect from Zen 2 –> Zen 3 on average (1.19x IPC, and up to 1.25x with IPC and clock). Obviously, however, these CPUs are both desktop processors. We don’t know how AMD’s Zen 3 mobile cores will compare to its desktop chips, but the Ryzen 4800U scores ~1130 in single-threaded GB5 and ~6800 in multi-threaded. That’s an average — we’ll be referring to <a href="https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/4653867" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this Lenovo system</a>, specifically, when we compare performance.</p>
<p>To summarize: AMD’s brand-new Zen 3 8-core matches the M1 in single-threaded performance and significantly exceeds it in multi-threaded performance, but it achieves both of these outcomes at desktop-level power consumption. Data from the comparison suggests Zen 3 will compare significantly more favorably than Zen 2, but data also indicates that AMD’s mobile performance in a 15W envelope is much lower. If we assume that AMD can improve single-threaded performance by 1.3x and 1.36x — meaning they can achieve the entirety of this uplift in exactly the same power envelope — our hypothetical Ryzen 5800U scores 1495 / 9248. Even if we make these very optimistic assumptions, the AMD mobile system would still be consuming far more electricity than its Apple counterpart.</p>
<h3>Subtest Results</h3>
<p>The Intel Core i9-9980HK loses almost every single-threaded sub-test to the Apple M1, but it doesn’t lose them evenly. In some cases, the gap is small; in text compression the M1 scores 1292, compared with 1177 for the 9980HK. The Gaussian blur, face detection, and horizon detection tests all dramatically favor the M1, as does the ray tracing test.</p>
<p>Subtest performance against AMD’s 4800U is distinct from Intel in terms of which tests Apple wins by which margins, but they aren’t much different in overall outcome. AMD’s Ryzen 7 4800U can hit 1318 faces/second compared to Intel’s 750, but the M1 reports 2209. Intel’s 9980HK scores 1218 in the N-body physics test compared with Ryzen’s 936, but the Apple M1 scores 1769. Interestingly, Intel retains leadership in the machine learning subtest, with a score of 1332 versus 1169 on M1 and 965 on 4800U.</p>
<h3>Multi-Threaded vs. Single-Threaded</h3>
<p>Multi-threaded tests show some differences compared with the ST figures. In ST, the M1 swept both Intel and AMD, nearly across the board. In multi-threading, it’s much more of a fight. The M1 wins AES-XTS compression by a country mile, but Intel is ahead in text compression, 8284 to 7162 (AMD) to 5528 (Apple). AMD decisively wins the image compression test, 10,392 versus Intel at 9,524 and Apple at 7,213. AMD narrowly wins PDF rendering while the M1 wins text rendering over both x86 competitors. Intel’s camera benchmark performance is narrowly higher than AMD or Apple, and it decisively wins the rigid body physics test. Intel’s scaling in the machine learning test is terrible, however, and Apple wins this test in multi-threading.</p>

</div>
<p>What does this tell us about M1 scaling versus Intel and AMD chips? That’s unclear. It’s possible the chip’s performance is still constrained by thermals, or by the split-core configuration Apple is using, or both. Scaling factors for the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U, Intel Core i9-9980HK, and Apple M1 are 6.0x, 6.38x, and 4.4x, respectively. Given that Apple is working with a thermally constrained environment and a mix of high-performance and high-efficiency cores, that’s not too surprising. This is also why the M1 isn’t just going to annihilate x86’s market position in the next year or two — Intel and AMD are both more competitive in MT than ST, and more workloads are multi-threaded these days. These results are a real threat to x86, but they aren’t its death rattle, even if they translate well to real-world applications.</p>
<div id="attachment_317309" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Intel-MT-Comparison-1.png"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-317309" class="wp-image-317309 size-large" src="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Intel-MT-Comparison-1-640x569.png" alt="" width="640" height="569" srcset="https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Intel-MT-Comparison-1-640x569.png 640w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Intel-MT-Comparison-1-300x267.png 300w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Intel-MT-Comparison-1-768x683.png 768w, https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Intel-MT-Comparison-1.png 1107w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a>

</div>
<p>It would be inappropriate to draw conclusions from the results of a single synthetic tests, but nothing in these results implies good things for Intel or AMD. Even if GeekBench 5 runs particularly well on Apple hardware or ARM chips more generally, we’re still seeing a CPU with a 5W nominal TDP take on chips with 15W nominal TDPs and walk out an early winner.</p>
<p>It’s entirely possible that sustained testing under load will reveal that the M1 has to throttle quite a bit over time because it lacks a fan, and that Apple’s higher-end MacBook Pros will still outperform it in real-world tests. This is actually the outcome I expect, because while Apple takes a lot of heat for its pricing, professional customers are not going to purchase $2,000 – $3,000 Intel Core i9 laptops if they can get better performance in audio and video rendering suites with a much less expensive machine.</p>
<p>GeekBench 5 is not a real-world benchmark and we’ll wait for real-world tests before we draw conclusions. But nothing about these results points to weak places in the architecture, and none of its sub-scores highlight problems AMD or Intel can immediately exploit. Considering that we’re looking at a 4+4 CPU going up against full octa-core solutions, there’s plenty of margin for GeekBench 5 to be overstating Apple’s performance without changing the result: The M1 appears, at the least, to be highly competitive with x86 core-for-core and clock-for-clock. Further testing will determine the degree to which this is true, or conversely, establish that GB5 is too Apple-friendly to make a useful cross-platform benchmark.</p>
<p>With tests like Cinebench R23 now baking in support for M1, we’ll have an answer to this question sooner rather than later.</p>
<p>Also — just to revisit the “<a href="https://www.extremetech.com/computing/317228-apples-new-m1-soc-looks-great-is-not-faster-than-98-percent-of-pc-laptops" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">98 percent of PC laptops</a>” bit — the multi-threaded subtests actually show why this <em>isn’t </em>true. “Faster” has a broad contextual meaning, and the Core i9-9980HK is well above the M1 in text compression, image compression, SQLite, PDF rendering, Clang, N-body physics, rigid body physics, and the HDR subtest. Even within a benchmark that shows Apple’s M1 to exceptionally good light, there are distinct and particular workloads where the Core i9-9980HK isn’t just competitive, but victorious by a large enough margin that lower-end Intel CPUs would stand a good chance vis-à-vis the M1 as well.</p>
<p>By the same token, however, Apple’s marketing overreach on that stupid claim shouldn’t lull anyone into ignoring this chip. It represents the most potent threat to x86 dominance that I’ve seen in my entire career.</p>
