m1 macbook air 30 minute cinebench r23 score

In the US at least, Apple has a 14 day no questions asked return policy. If you are outside the US or outside that window, I would probably just not worry about it. The difference is still only a few percent.

i have seen many people on this forum and youtube score 6600 and even lower , and yea what is the config of your machine?

my machine did reach 7461 but in the last 2.5 min dropped to 6635 can i say that my machine is alright?

It probably is within Apple's specs but it might mean you lost the CPU lottery. If you are within your 14 day return you might want to consider returning it. My speculation is that the heat sink is misaligned or there is a problem with the thermal paste. But it could just be the SoC is at the bottom of the acceptable specification.

acceptable specification?

edited a 5min 4k h.264 color graded video in imovie in 3 min 20 sec , i7 takes 20 min ? i guess benchmarks doesn't matter much please tell.

geekbench 5 scores are amazing single core- 1739 and multi core- 7689 i don't know what is wrong with cinebench r23 and that's a good score based on what scores i have seen right?

Only got 6583 on the thirty minute test. But I'm running a beta of the operating system. Maybe it's not fully optimized yet?

There are going to be manufacturing variations. Apple has a Quality Control process that will specify a range of performance during burn-in. No one that I know of knows what that range is but it might be pretty broad for the M1 MBA.

Cinebench is performing a single task in parallel over and over. If the M1 isn't particularly optimized for that rendering task, it might look a little slower in comparison to the competition vs. what Geekbench looks like.

The 30 minute test is showing what happens under sustained load. The M1 MacBook Air doesn't have a fan. Eventually heat saturates the passive cooling system and performance of the SoC has to drop to keep the chip healthy. It is perfectly normal. In my own testing on the short test I got 7226 pts. When I reran with the 30 minute test it dropped to 6845 pts.

i ran the 10 min test and not the 30 min one can you tell me if nothing is wrong with my machine?

i dont really think that beta might have been a issue but to be honest that is not a bad score at all i mean some people got lucky on their cpus to cross like 7150 or something but most of the youtubers even the big ones like maxtech , created labs all have a benchmark score between 6300-6850 which is in itself awesome ,beacause that will never be an issue because it is very much possible that we will never cross that line where this score becomes less my machine got 6635 and was at 7426 in for the first 7.5 min in the 10 min render and then dropped to 6635 in 2.5 min so the time when it was able to bear the load is itself amazing and i dont think that people who got 7000 after the full test will see any difference in day to day life even during video rendering for example i exported a 5 min 4k h.264 colour graded footage in imovie in 3min 20 sec whereas a i7 take almost 18-20 min to do that i was also a bit worried about the scores maybe i am a bit now too but i think it really doesn't matter. Your thoughts?

how much did you get in the 10 min test ??

did the scrolling in safari improve in the beta? specially in twitter and pinterest (all heavy websites with photos and videos)basically.

Whoops. It makes a big difference if you turn off everything while doing the test. My numbers for the 10 minute test went from to 6744 to 7228 and the thirty minute test went from 6583 to 6923.

hey i got 6674 in 10 min test this is the highest i got what is wrong here ? i mean all youtber are getting scores like 6300 and 6600 how are you guys getting beyond 7000 in geekbench my scores are more than almost every youtuber but in cinebench i cant 6674 i quit all apps even force quit finder to see if there is any difference please help me here and do you have the base MBA?

hey i did a normal single render benchmark in cinbench r23 and got by choosing off in advance benchmarking and got 7450.

Put the laptop on a stand with an external fan blowing on the bottom and see what it gets. Poor mans MBP.

Challenge accepted! Here, hold my beer...

A 10 minute run is all I had time for ATM. I’ll try a 30 minute run later tonight.

Note: This is with the thermal pad mod, in a vertical laptop stand, with an external fan blowing across the base of the MBA.

My first Air was defective. I couldn't get higher than about 6600 on the multi-core test, even starting from clean boot and stopping everything.. I returned it, and my new one gets around 7400.. So there are bad ones out there.

6600 on the 30 minute multi-core test? I got 6502 on a 10 minute run, and when running consecutive single runs I reached as low as 5951. Haven't yet tried a 30 minute. My MBA M1 is brand new, started benchmarking because I was concerned that my CPU seems to run 10 degrees hotter than others even when idling with all apps closed and no strange processes happening. Any idea if your defective air was warmer too?

Got 6432 in the 30 minute 😢
