I’m asking because Geekbench 6 only shows a 24% better single core score, The snappiness of my system it feels a lot more that 24% faster, Do you think the increased cache or the 5Ghz clock speed in the real world is a lot more than 24% faster? Thanks for any info
Apple uses very fast ssds with M series.
That depends on the config you get. Base capacities are all single chip, very poor speed (and endurance) actually, even on their $1600 laptops. M2 pro 14" is like this and it’s quite appalling for a laptop this expensive.
That depends. Some of their entry level models use some pretty slow drives.
Not true. PCIE Gen 4 SSDs can go to 6 GB/s (or even more). Even Apple’s most expensive laptop I guess is limited to 4.5 GB/s (if I am right). Their recent M3 SSDs go up to like 4GB/s (as shown by MaxTech).
