The setting under Battery>Battery>Energy Mode is set to automatic, which 'will automatically choose the best level of performance and energy usage.' Similarly, the Zephyrus m16 has settings to change in Windows 11 settings and Asus' Armoury Crate. I kept both systems at stock settings, with the one exception of changing the screen timeout so that the systems do not go into sleep mode while benchmarking. I also wanted to mention why I included Asus’ Turbo Mode in the benchmarks. The entire article is about both systems in their stock form. I also think it is important to show that the Intel-based system is set up in such a way that OEMs and even users can achieve greater performance. The stock mode is set up to achieve greater performance while taking into consideration energy efficiency.

Turbo mode is only available when connected to AC power and maximizes power to the CPU and GPU for a bump in performance. For Blender, it was up to 7% on the longer renders, for KeyShot and V-Ray was about 2% and for Redshift, it was about 28% difference in performance.įor all of the benchmarks, all except for Redshift, the MacBook ProM1 Max could not benchmark using the GPU compute (CUDA). To give a perspective on the performance of the GPU, I ran the Blender CUDA benchmark on the Zephyrus m16 with a GeForce RTX 3060. I took the percentage difference between the Zephyrus m16 CUDA and the MacBook Pro M1 Max CPU for each of the five benchmarks and then averaged the percentage difference between the five benchmarks.
