AppleのM1チップを搭載した最初のコンピュータはすでに購入可能 。試してみるには、チップを搭載した3つの新製品のいずれかを選択する必要があります。新しい MacBook Air 、 13インチMacBookPro または Mac Mini 。それぞれにM1を使用した2つの構成が付属しています。 MacBook Proにはまだ2つのIntel構成があり、MacMiniには1つのIntelプロセッサがあります。
ただし、パフォーマンスはプログラムごとに異なることに注意してください。 The Verge がMacBookProレビューユニットでAdobeCreative Cloudのx86バージョンをテストしたとき、出版物はエクスポートビットレートを一貫して半分にするバグに遭遇しました。この出版物は、複数の4Kエクスポートを連続して実行した場合でもエクスポート時間は横ばいであり、強力なパフォーマンスを示唆していると述べていますが、ベンチマークの結果が強力に見えても、エミュレーションには依然として欠点があることを忘れないでください。
ゲーマーの場合、@__tosh has also built a Google Drive spreadsheet and a dedicated website each with alphabetical lists of which games run on Apple M1 and how. It’s a fairly exhaustive project, listing distribution methods, whether games run natively or are emulated, what resolutions they support, average fps scores, anecdotal notes and more. The website version of the list also lets you search for specific games so you can find their relevant information immediately, plus has background information about gaming on Mac as a whole.
Most games are still emulated right now, but the spreadsheet shows that World of Warcraft, Stardew Valley and Among Us already have native support, plus a few others.
Apple M1 Battery Life
Despite packing more processing power overall, the M1 chip comes with 4 low-power cores that help it conserve battery life. Apple’s saying that this gives M1-equipped machines “the best battery life ever on a Mac,” which it tested by wirelessly browsing the web with brightness set to “8 clicks from the bottom” and by playing FHD videos under the same brightness settings. These tests are far from comprehensive, but reviews generally tend to place M1 Macs either around or above current Intel counterparts.
According to Engadget’s battery benchmarks, which “involved looping an HD video,” the M1 MacBook Air can stay powered on for up to 16 hours and 20 minutes, which is about 5 hours more than the publication’s numbers for the latest Intel MacBook Air. That’s also about 7 hours more than we got on our own battery benchmark for the the latest Intel MacBook Air.
The Verge found that the M1 MacBook Pro’s numbers are a little less impressive, which is to be expected with more power. The publication claimed to “easily get 10 hours on a charge” and said it had to resort to running 4K YouTube videos on Chrome in the background to drop that down to 8 hours.
The Verge is less optimistic on MacBook Air, though, saying it’s getting “between 8 and 10 hours of real, sustained work.”
macOS Big Sur, iPhone and iPad Apps
One of the coolest new features of the M1 chip is that, because it uses the same processor architecture as the iPhone and iPad, it can now run apps designed for those devices natively. However, reviewers are skeptical of this feature’s current implementation.
First, you’ll have to download these programs through the Mac app store using a filter, since developers still aren’t allowed to directly distribute iOS apps even on more traditional systems. Second, you’ll find that many of your favorites won’t be available, like Gmail, Slack and Instagram. That’s because developers are allowed to opt out of making their apps available on Mac, which plenty seem to be opting for. Third, apps that require touch input direct you to a series of unintuitive “touch alternatives,” like pressing space to tap in the center of a window or using the arrow keys to swipe.
The Verge called using iOS apps on Mac a “messy, weird experience,” in part because the apps that are available are “from developers that haven’t been updated to be aware of newer devices.” While Overcast, a podcast app, worked great for The Verge, HBO Max was stuck to a small window that couldn’t be resized and couldn’t play fullscreen videos.
Playing iOS games also proved to be a chore for some reviewers, as TechCrunch noted. The publication tried the iOS version of Among Us on an M1 MacBook Air and found that, while it ran smoothly, using the trackpad to emulate a touchscreen was a chore. There’s also an option to operate a virtual touchscreen with your mouse, but as the reviewer also ran across a fixed window size with no full screen functionality, it’s clear that gaming on M1 still has a way to go.
The elephant in the room here across all experiences seems to be the lack of a touchscreen. We were hoping Apple would announce touchscreen Macs during its ‘One More Thing’ event earlier this month. But with no word on those yet, it’s hard for iOS apps on M1 to feel like more than an afterthought. There’s also the lack of support from big developers, who are probably waiting for these kinks, like no touchscreen support, to work themselves out.
Running Windows
On April 14th, 2021, Parallels Desktop released a version of its Mac-based virtualization software that lets users run the Insider Preview of Windows 10 for Arm on M1-based Macs as native speeds. Unfortunately, most Windows for Arm programs themselves run via emulation, but Parallels says it’s received enthusiastic feedback from testers about x86 app performance. This includes not just productivity software like Microsoft Office, but also games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Rocket League.
Wine also added support for M1 macs in its June 10th 6.0.1 patch. This lets you use the compatibility layer to run supported Windows-only apps, which you can check here.
As for official support for Windows on M1 from Microsoft, it’s unlikely, but Apple senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi said to Ars Technica shortly after the chip released”We have core technologies for them to do that, to run their ARM version of Windows…But that’s a decision Microsoft has to make.”
Competition From Intel
Early in February, Intel fired back at Apple’s M1 claims with benchmarks of its own. These benchmarks apply to its 11th generation”Tiger Lake”processors, which have been available since October of last year. Regardless of the wide availability of existing testing data, the company still wants to prove that Windows 10 laptops equipped with Tiger Lake can beat Apple M1 machines, though as with all vendor provided benchmarks, take them with a grain of salt.

For productivity apps like Microsoft Office and Chrome, Intel is claiming based off WebXPRT3 and its own internal real-world usage guideline (or RUG) testing that it got 30% more performance off a testing whitebox with Intel Core i7-1186G7 and 16GB of RAM than it did against a competing system with M1 and 16GB of RAM.
This goes against what we saw when we reviewed the MacBook Pro with M1. Additionally, we haven’t seen many laptops opt for the i7-1185G7 over the i7-1165G7 yet, outside of the MSI Prestige Evo 14.
Internal RUG tests from Intel also show the i7-1185G7 beating the M1 on Adobe apps and AI tools from Topaz labs, as it supposedly completed tasks at six times the speed of the M1.
Gaming was more even, though Intel’s benchmarks coyly tease Apple for a number of games that don’t have Mac support by claiming the M1 runs them at”0 fps.”

Intel also took aim at Apple for supposedly not performing as well on the specific tests that manufacturers must pass to get its”Intel Evo”certification. These are meant, according to Intel’s studies, to provide a better notebook experience, and include tasks like”switching to Calendar”in Outlook and”starting a video conference in Zoom”as quickly as possible.
Intel hasn’t made it clear how these tests were run, though these are generally pretty simple tasks that run well on most modern systems, so we’re talking miniscule gains here.
It’s also worth noting that Intel swapped to a MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM for testing here, as opposed to the 16GB it used when testing performance.
Battery life is also part of Evo certification, and when stacking the Acer Swift 5 against the MacBook Air in a test for which laptop could stay alive longer when running a Netflix stream alongside multiple browser tabs, Intel found the MacBook Air came ahead with 6 minutes more life.

Intel also included a number of disclaimers along with its tests, plus digs at the lack of touchscreen or diverse form factor options on MacBooks as well as the difficulty in using more than one external display with Apple M1 devices. The company also targeted the limitations of Apple M1’s x86 emulation, which we discussed above.
Intel’s also gone hard on advertising against Apple, with a new”Go PC“ad campaign that’s even gone far enough as hiring the old old”I’m a Mac“guy.
