Njengoba wazi, i-Apple ivuselele ngamabomu nangokukhohlisa iMacBook yayo engu-12-intshi, into iningi lethu ebililindele, yize kufanele kuthiwe besicabanga ukuthi kungaba yinto entsha sha. Kodwa-ke, amayunithi okuqala athengwe abasebenzisi asevele aqale ukufika emakhaya abanikazi futhi ngokulethwa kokuqala, amabenchmarks okuqala awakwazi ukuswela noma, lokho kuhlaziywa kokusebenza esivame ukukubona kamuva nje ngedivayisi ngayinye entsha. Kungaba i-Apple noma enye brand inqobo nje uma zihola, indlela yokuqhathanisa amandla aluhlaza wedivayisi entsha neyakudala. Kumabhentshimakhi akhombisa amaMacBooks 12 ″ amasha sithola amandla afinyelela ku-18% ngaphezulu ngobubanzi obusha bamaprosesa.
Ngokususelwa ekuhlaziyweni, ama-Intel's Skylake M processor chips, abhalwe iwashi elingu-1.1 GHz nje, siyabona ukuthi akhombisa phakathi kwe-5% ne-10% lighter kune-MacBook 12 ″ ekhishwe ngo-2015, muva nje, kepha Sesivele sazi ukuthi i-Apple isebenzisa ukuvuselela kancane ama-laptops ayo minyaka yonke noma unyaka nengxenye. Endabeni yeSkylake M5 sithola amaphuzu asuka ku-2.497 kuya ku-4.994 yemodeli entsha, okusho ukuthi, i-18% inamandla amakhulu kunokulingana kwayo kuhlobo lwangaphambilini, ebenejubane lewashi ngokufana ncamashi ngonyaka we-2015, we-1.2 GHz, kodwa okungabonakali kusebenza ngendlela ebukeka ngayo.
I-Intel yenza umsebenzi omuhle namaSkylakes kanti nabakwa-Apple bayibonile. Ekugcineni, esimweni se-Intel Core M7 sithola amaphuzu angama-3001 kumodeli yanyakenye, kanti kumodeli yalo nyaka ifinyelela ku-6707, I-17% ngokushesha kunemodeli yangaphambilini. Asazi ukuthi kufanele yini ukuthengwa kwalo noma cha, kepha amanani awashintshile futhi manje unemodeli yombala weRose Gold, kuncane kakhulu okungabuzwa ngedivayisi engenabo abalandeli futhi elula kunazo zonke emakethe.
