That's not what the numbers say. It's on the order of low dozens of percent improvement, not hundreds of percent.

I don't mean to be rude, but I think in order for you to be right then either I have different site content than you or I am blind.

MBA 2020 (early) i3, i5, i7 are scoring 972, 1048 and 1113 respectively.

MBA 2020 (late) M1 scores 1707.

thats 175% of 972 and 150% of 1113.

Am I wrong?

Thats a huge leap in performance for the high end, but even more so for the entry level.

> Am I wrong?

Yes. And you're making it overly complicated. Look at the benchmarks[1] for one single model, the 13" mid-2020 MBP, single core performance is 1213. Now look at the very next generation of that machine, the 13" late-2020 MBP M1, single core performance is 1708. What percentage of 1213 would you need to add to 1213 to make it equal 1708? About 40% of 1213 then added to 1213 would give you 1708, so the increase in performance in single core for this model jumping from Intel to Apple Silicon M1 is a 40% increase, not 150% or whatever.

Take a look at what was written in the reply more carefully. There’s no mention of the word “increase” that you added. Simply that the machine is 150% of the previous version (ie 50% increase).
