Granted a Core i7 Chromebook would likely offer an even larger number but likely around another few thousand points. And that was on a then-recent Intel Core i5 processor. I’ve run this benchmark on dozens of Chromebooks through the years and about the highest score I’ve ever seen is around 45,000 points. Take a look at this Octane benchmark, for example, using the ARM version of the Chrome browser on the MacBook Air: While I can’t compare apples to apples between devices running Chrome OS and macOS, I can share a few key performance measures. ![]() The M1 blows away Intel-powered devices in browser benchmarksįirst, is the overall responsiveness the M1 provides. Let me elaborate on two key points as to why I think that. And after using the M1 MacBook Air, I’m more convinced than ever that Google should design a custom ARM processor for Chromebooks. Although I mainly use a Chromebook, I use various devices and operating systems to keep some perspective on the overall market. I replaced it with a MacBook Air powered by Apple’s M1 processor that I bought for $899 after a student discount. ![]() A few weeks ago, I sold an old 2016 MacBook Pro that I wasn’t using much. ![]()
