I compared the M2 with several other CPUs (using cpubenchmark.net) that are in the same money-range and the M2 has a shockingly low score compared to other CPUs. For example, while the Apple M2 8 Core 3500 MHz scored 15416, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS scored 28917 and the Intel Core i7-13650HX 32119.
I don’t know how reliable these benchmarks are, but I wasn’t expecting M2 to be so bad. Am I missing something or? I wanted to buy a Macbook air M2 16GB 256GB, since I keep hearing how awesome it is, but now I’m not sure. Someone pls explain.
I turned my work laptop onto full power mode using the Dell Optimizer app the other day, thought I’d see if it made a difference to how things worked. After 20 minutes I had to go back to low power mode as the noise of the fans were interfering with listening to my music. Pointless!
