Leaked screenshot alleged to show benchmark result of Apple-designed ARM Mac

Yesterday, a highly suspected benchmark was posted on Slashleaks, which is alleged to be the result of Apple's desktop-class (10-core and 12-core) A-series processors based on the ARM architecture. It could potentially mean that Apple to release Mac with ARM processors as early as this year.



The leak comes from an anonymous source, claiming that the 10-core version has a clock speed of 3.4GHz, while the screenshot shows that the 12-core version (APWL2@HmP) has a clock speed of 3.19GHz. The single-core scores of the two processors are 7,335 and 6,912, respectively, and the multi-core scores are 20,580 and 24,240, respectively.

It is unclear what the device that is equipped with the ARM chip, but judging from the performance, it should be desktop-level hardware. Both processors outperformed the single-core scores of 2017 27-inch of the Retina 5K iMac with 4.2GHz Intel Core i7-7700 processor, while the 12-core processor's multi-core scores exceeded 2018 15-inch with 2.9GHz Intel Core i9-8950HK MacBook Pro's scores.

It is not yet possible to verify the authenticity of the benchmark, however, it should be noted that the screenshot was uploaded on Friday and has no record in the past. Also, the "APWL2" device name is inconsistent with Apple's recent A-series processor naming scheme. For example, the existing A12 bionics are APL1W81, while the A11 bionics are APL1W72.
