Apple’s processors are notorious for their high performance when running in their native environments: macOS and iOS. However, an data-analytics-id=”inline-link” href=”https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10149402245?svcp_stk=1_xRuux3lKejHLef7f4MCxvlSpkEAdsoWiOlqH6GQYwfyLjSWKQPuA4NfgKF0bkidWIRAAPbwRZQgILp2n7jAzE5VivRtp7MqChqZRRbOQhRzu9E3Envvh5xnL87-9Hrd4F0KG84215BjoayuvZPmn6xn2aEKSFtaiRTLlppsV6AV98kEycnEaJ0991b87BUef” data-url=”https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10149402245?svcp_stk=1_xRuux3lKejHLef7f4MCxvlSpkEAdsoWiOlqH6GQYwfyLjSWKQPuA4NfgKF0bkidWIRAAPbwRZQgILp2n7jAzE5VivRtp7MqChqZRRbOQhRzu9E3Envvh5xnL87-9Hrd4F0KG84215BjoayuvZPmn6xn2aEKSFtaiRTLlppsV6AV98kEycnEaJ0991b87BUef” target=”_blank” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” data-hl-processed=”none”>experiment conducted by NPacific, a Chinese enthusiast (via data-analytics-id=”inline-link” href=”https://x.com/9550pro/status/1981359017130901680″ data-url=”https://x.com/9550pro/status/1981359017130901680″ target=”_blank” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” data-hl-processed=”none”>HXL), shows that Apple’s latest M5 processor can destroy high-end CPUs from AMD and Intel while running data-analytics-id=”inline-link” href=”https://www.tomshardware.com/tag/windows-11″ data-auto-tag-linker=”true” data-before-rewrite-localise=”https://www.tomshardware.com/tag/windows-11″>Windows 11 in virtualization mode. There is a catch, though: So far, the enthusiast has only benchmarked the M5 processor in CPU-Z, a synthetic benchmark.
Staying true to Apple’s goal of developing processors with…
