The data shows, that for the toughest multi-core tasks, Apple has more than tripled computational performance in just five years.
It is also relevant to note Apple’s statement that the M5 Pro/Mac systems deliver over six times the peak AI compute we got from the original M1 systems.
That’s faster progress than Moore’s Law, which says computational performance should double every 18-24 months, and that trajectory shows how quickly Apple’s Macs have become highly competitive at the highest reaches of the PC industry.
Gone are the thermal throttling limitations that plagued Intel Macs during high-end tasks, in comes the capacity to use Apple’s computers when sustained performance is required.
This is really, really cool. I spotted this -- and predicted this -- back in June, 2024.

AI reply:
Not recognized now, and probably not recognized since, this may be the crowing achievement of Tim Cook, perhaps even measuring up to Steve Jobs' famous / amazing introduction of the iPhone.
The iPhone made Apple the $4 trillion company it has become, but Tim Cook's team has moved the entire "compute" so much farther, so much faster than anyone could imagine / has imagined.
Apple didn't just break Moore's Law, the company shattered it. And they did it smartly.
I'll quit here but much more could be said.
I can't believe how good this post was -- interestingly, it is one of the most frequentd sites on the blog -- back in June, 2024. Linked above.
Geek Data:
MacBook Neo: for routine tasks, which only require single-core -- beats the incredible M3 Mac single core -- 3,467 to 3,135. By 10%. Single core is what we used to call a "CPU."
