Apple officially launched its new notebook MacBook Neo this week, with a starting price of 4,599 yuan. As Apple’s new tool for entering the entry-level market, the actual performance of this new product has aroused widespread concern among digital enthusiasts. At present, the machine has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking website, and the identified model is Mac17,5. It is equipped with the A18 Pro chip, and its complete CPU and GPU performance data were also revealed.
According to Geekbench test data, the MacBook Neo’s single-core score reached 3450 points and the multi-core score was 8703 points. This performance is basically the same as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is also equipped with the A18 Pro chip. The latter's single-core and multi-core scores are 3445 and 8476 points respectively.
But in the Metal score, which reflects graphics processing power, the MacBook Neo performed slightly worse than the top mobile phone models. ThatThe GPU score is 31286 points,The iPhone 16 Pro Max scored as high as33030 points, the graphics processing speed of the mobile phone is about 5.6% faster.
The main reason for this performance difference is the fine-tuning of hardware specifications. The A18 Pro chip equipped with MacBook Neo only integrates a 5-core graphics processor, while the version equipped with the iPhone 16 Pro series has a complete 6-core GPU. This means that the mobile version has one more core than the laptop version.
In terms of CPU, the specifications of the two remain highly consistent. MacBook Neo's A18 Pro chip is also equipped with a 6-core central processor, consisting of 2 performance cores and 4 energy efficiency cores.
This configuration ensures that the notebook can provide stable and efficient power output when handling daily office tasks and facing more complex computing scenarios.
Although the number of GPU cores has been reduced, the overall performance is still very competitive for its entry-level positioning. The emergence of MacBook Neo not only lowers the threshold for users to enter the macOS ecosystem, but also provides a cost-effective option for users who pursue mobile office efficiency.
