Frequently asked questions

What is Apple Silicon?

Apple Silicon refers to the custom ARM-based chips Apple designs in-house, including the M-series for Mac and iPad, the A-series for iPhone, the S-series for Apple Watch, and the H-series for AirPods.

What's the difference between M-series and A-series chips?

M-series chips (M1 through M5, plus Pro, Max and Ultra variants) power Mac and iPad Pro devices and prioritize sustained multi-core performance. A-series chips power iPhone and are tuned for efficiency and single-core responsiveness in a phone-sized thermal envelope.

How is the performance score on this page calculated?

The score combines chip generation, CPU and GPU core counts, release year, and a price-efficiency factor into a single comparable number. It's a simplified estimate, not a substitute for benchmark tools like Geekbench.
