What is more troubling is how much slower it is when it comes to read and write disk speeds (around 50 percent in each, according to our tests) and at real-world stabilizing, exporting and encoding tasks. It’s scarcely surprising to discover that this year’s $1,199 MacBook Air performs less impressively than the higher-end model. Write your opinion about the comparison of Apple MacBook Air 13 (M2, 2022) and Asus Vivobook S15 OLED (K3502, 12th Gen Intel) or ask any questions. Cinebench R23 and Geekbench, both of which operate natively on the M2 Mac, deliver the most accurate results. Performance is likely to vary from game to game, however, and we advise caution if there is a specific graphically demanding title you plan to enjoy. Cinebench R23 (Single-Core) Vivobook S15 OLED (K3502, 12th Gen Intel) +17. The MacBook Air (Late 2018) with an Intel Core i5-8210Y processor scores 914 for single-core performance and 1,644 for multi-core performance in the Geekbench 6. In a new video by The Verge, they have tested the Apple M1 MacBook Air, against the new M2 MacBook Air, and the higher-end M2 MacBook Pro in Cinebench R23. The top-end Air is undoubtedly a better gaming machine, but the loss of two GPU cores doesn’t appear to handicap the cheaper model as much as expected. (In both cases framerates for the entry-level M2 were lower than for the M1 from 2020.) But the cheaper model punched well above its weight on Civilization, performing comparably to the 1TB MacBook Air with M2 on High settings and slightly better on Medium. Tomb Raider numbers were largely predictable, with the 8-core Air 43 percent behind at High settings and 26 percent behind at Medium. The MBA is not meant to be all things the overwhelming majority of users don't need more than one external display so it makes perfect sense for its intended market.Test results were slightly confounding, however. Here’s how the MacBook Air (M2, 2022) performed in our suite of benchmark tests: Cinebench R23 CPU: Single-Core: 1,597 Multi-core: 8,098 Geekbench 5 Single-Core: 1,936 Multi-Core. Cinebench R23 (Multi-Core) Cinebench R23 is the successor of Cinebench R20 and is also based on the Cinema 4 Suite. Most people who need more than one external display will also want the added power of the MBP.

I think Apple did this on purpose because it will make people like me spend more money and get a MacBook Pro instead. Does the MateBook X Pro even pose a threat to the new Apple MacBook Air M2. Maybe not multiple 6K displays, but it should be able to support dual 4K displays at the very least. I played Apple's game.I don't think there's really any reason why they can't design it to support multiple displays. I like the M2 MacBook Air a lot and its all I need technically as far as how powerful it is, but I like to use multiple displays and it lacks support for that so 14' MacBook Pro it was. During the Cinebench R23 Multi benchmark, the Air only had to reduce the power consumption slightly from 20 to 18. In the Cinebench R23 test, however, the M2 Pro and M2 Max remained on par with the previous Alder Lake CPU. Well the lack of multiple display support is the very reason I bought a 14' MacBook Pro this week instead of a MacBook Air. Apple M2 MacBook Air M2 10C GPU: 173.1 Points per Watt +141. Being able to handle a 6K 32 inch external seems fine for something claimed to be for non-demanding apps. It doesn’t really make sense to say that MBA users generally won’t be using apps that need active cooling and then also complain that the MBA doesn’t support multiple external monitors.
