Apple MacBook Air 2020 İncelemesi: M1 işlemcinin daha güçlü sürümünü almalı mısınız?

Name: Apple MacBook Air Late 2020 (M1, 8 Core GPU, 8 GB RAM)
Brand: Apple

7 or 8 GPU cores?

Yeni Apple MacBook Air arıyorsanız, 7 ve 8 çekirdekli tümleşik grafikler arasından seçim yapabilirsiniz. Ancak günlük durumlarda ne kadar büyük bir performans farkı var ve ek GPU çekirdeği yüzey sıcaklıklarını etkiliyor mu?

Yeni M1 işlemcili Apple MacBook Air 2020'nin giriş seviyesi sürümünü daha önce inceledikten sonra, şimdi 8 çekirdekli GPU ve daha büyük 512 GB SSD ile daha pahalı modele daha yakından bakıyoruz. Şu anda 249 $ daha fazla ödemeniz gerekiyor, ancak buna değer mi? Önceki inceleme birimimize kıyasla başka bir değişiklik yok, bu nedenle yalnızca farklılıkları ele alacağız. Diğer tüm bilgiler, giriş seviyesi MacBook Air M1 (999 $) incelememizde mevcuttur: Apple MacBook Air 2020 M1 Giriş İncelemesi

Vaka - Gıcırdayan menteşeli test numunesi

Mevcut inceleme birimimizde fark ettiğimiz bir şey, gıcırdayan bir ekran menteşesi. Gürültü neredeyse bir koruyucu film parçası varmış gibi geliyor. Ancak bu, işlevselliği etkilemez. Bunu bir MacBook'ta ilk kez deneyimledik ve cihazı kesinlikle iade eder veya perakendeciden değiştirmesini isterdik.

Depolama Aygıtları - daha iyi yazma performansına sahip 512 GB SSD

Test ünitemizin 512 GB PCIe SSD'si, 7 GPU çekirdekli giriş seviyesi modeli için bir seçenek olarak (200 $) yapılandırılabilir. Aktarım hızları, eski MacBook Air'e kıyasla çok daha yüksek ve genel performans, MacBook Pro modellerinin seviyesinde. Okuma performansı, daha küçük 256 GB sürücüyle hemen hemen aynıdır, ancak 512 GB SSD, veri yazarken yaklaşık 400 MB / sn daha hızlıdır. Yine de pratikte bunu fark etmeyeceksiniz.

GPU Performansı - Daha fazla çekirdek, daha fazla performans

Grafik kartı en büyük farktır. Giriş seviyesi model yalnızca 7 GPU çekirdeği alırken, Air'in daha pahalı olan versiyonu 8 çekirdekli daha hızlı sürümle donatılmıştır. Bu, M1 işlemcinin 8 çekirdekli GPU sürümüyle de donatılmış MacBook Pro 13 M1'den hiçbir fark olmadığı anlamına geliyor. 8 GPU çekirdekli Air, beklendiği gibi 7 çekirdekli giriş seviyesi modelin biraz ilerisinde. , ancak fark genellikle sadece yüzde birkaç puandır (en büyük fark% 12'dir). 8 çekirdekli MacBook Air, daha pahalı MacBook Pro 13 M1 ile hemen hemen aynı performans seviyesindedir. Giriş seviyesi MBA zaten 3DMark Wild Life stres testini geçti ve 8 çekirdekli MBA de geçti. Günlük durumdaki farkı fark etmeyeceksiniz. MacBook Air'inizde oyun oynamayı planlamıyorsanız, giriş seviyesi (7 çekirdekli GPU) ile çok mutlu olacaksınız.

Oyun Performansı

Oyun performansından bahsederken biraz dikkatli olmalıyız, çünkü şimdiye kadar sadece benzetilmiş başlıkları test edebildik. İlginç bir şekilde, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13'ün biraz ilerisinde. Sonuçları kontrol ettik, ancak değerler değişmedi. M1 işlemcisinin yongalar arasında gerçek bir karşılaştırma yapması için yerel oyunları beklememiz gerekecek. App Store'daki iOS oyunlarıyla ilgili herhangi bir sorun yok.

Temperature

There are no perceptible differences in terms of surface temperatures. Despite the passive cooling solution (and the high performance), the results are not too high and do not cause any worries. You can comfortable use the MacBook Air M1 even under load.

Battery Runtime - MacBook Air with long runtimes

We have repeated our Wi-Fi runtime test with the second MacBook Air, but the results are identical down to a couple of minutes. We record more than 16 hours in our Wi-Fi test at 150 nits, and still almost 9 hours at the maximum brightness. This once again shows that the consumption of the display is the biggest factor.

In review: Apple MacBook Air 2020 M1. Test model courtesy of Cyberport.

The more expensive MacBook Air 2020 M1 basically shares the same pros and cons we found during the review of the entry-level model. The MacBook Air benefits a lot from the M1 processor. The performance is now similar to the MacBook Pro 13 with two Thunderbolt ports, and the annoying chassis fan of previous model was finally removed. Apple also improved the display as it now covers the wider P3 color gamut and the PCIe SSDs are much faster than before. All in all, the new Air 2020 is probably the most balanced MacBook we have seen in the last couple of years.

You can just get the entry-level model with the 7-core GPU if the 256 GB SSD offers sufficient storage for you. You will hardly notice the additional performance of the 8-core GPU in practice.

If you decide which version of the MacBook Air to go for, should not be purely focused on the iGPU, because the difference between the two versions (7 vs. 8 GPU cores) is very small and you just won't notice a difference in most scenarios anyways. The more important aspect is the SSD storage. If you can live with 256 GB, just get the entry-level model. If you want 512 GB, however, the pre-configured model for $1249 including the 8-core GPU makes sense. We suspect you will probably get better deals on default configurations (either 256 GB + 7C GPU or 512 GB + 8C GPU) in the future.
