Initial R23 results show M1 mobile chip to be faster than my desktop running X58 platform X5650@4Ghz 2200Mhz DDR3 TC. I find this a bit hard to believe hence I would appreciate if anyone could post Cinebench R15 multi-core score as I'm much more familiar with those numbers.

R15 can be downloaded from here (mega mirror): https://mega.nz/file/8uRXTAxC#R89uGfDL4Of7ynozrAZL6TLKKuVoQEAjGAb6uxPN5Ds

PS. X5650@4Ghz scores between 900 and 1000.

R15 does not have native support for Apple Silicon, so the M1 would be at a severe disadvantage there.

There is nothing surprising with M1 outperforming an X5650. A single M1 performance core running at 3Ghz is basically as fast as an Intel Skylake core running at 5 Ghz. A Westmere, even overclocked, doesn't stand a chance. Not to mention that the RAM in the M1 Macs is about twice as fast as your triple-channel DDR3

Sorry mate but after m1 chip ,Intel is old news

I very much doubt that. I run DDR3 TC @ 2200Mhz at 10-10-10-26 1T. In other words frequency of DDR4 with much tighter timings. ;)

You probably mean 2200MT/s? I don't think there is any DDR3 in existence that can run at 2200Mhz...

Anyway, M1's quad channel memory runs at 4267MT/s (with 32-bit channels). That's about 68.2GB/s total bandwidth.

Wow. People still talk about memory timings. 2005 called and wants it's coolness back.

Anyone not on UMA is already behind, significantly.

Well I do realise older memory controllers can't quite get the same bandwidth, but I have some doubts regarding that SODIMM being "twice as fast".

EDIT: Alright. I think this chip really caught me by surprise. Memory read and copy DO look impressive. Wow.

It's not SODIMM, it's on-package LPDDR4X ;) Mobile memory has come a long way! Current LPDDR4 is faster than desktop DDR4 if configured properly (but much more expensive).

I also have 5960x desktop I wonder if m1 beats it
Looking at the geekbench, M1 beats it in single core tasks and 5960x is slightly better in multicore (versus Rosetta2 but not M1).

ST: 933 vs 1327
MT: 7248 vs 7715 M1 / 6069 M1 Rosetta2
