Apple product comparison 2022

Would you like to compare several Apple products quickly and easily? Then Check-Mac is the right place for you. For example, it has never been easier to find out the technical differences between two Apple MacBooks. In addition to the technical data published by Apple, you will also find further information here, such as which processor is built into a product or how fast the built-in memory works.

With us you can even compare Apple products from different product groups with one another. This makes it very easy to find out the differences between an Apple iPad Pro and an Apple MacBook Air.

In addition to the technical data for all Apple products, we also offer you the opportunity to find out and compare the real speed of the products. We use well-known benchmarks such as Geekbench 5 or Cinebench R23 for this. For the performance assessment of the graphics performance across all device classes, we use the FP32 raw performance of the graphics card, which we specify in TFLOPs.

List of benchmarks used

In order to determine the performance of a computer or a component in it, so-called "benchmarks" are carried out. The benchmark software carries out special calculations and measures the time it takes for the computer to complete the calculations. Since the benchmarks always run the same, the performance of several computers can be reliably compared with one another.

For this we use so-called theoretical or synthetic benchmarks such as Geekbench or Cinebench, as these support both x86 and ARM instruction sets in the current versions. We guarantee real comparability of the results by ensuring that the benchmarks are executed identically and correctly as well as by the condition of the system.

We currently use the following benchmarks to assess the performance of the products listed on our website:
