Apple A18 Pro vs Intel Core 7 processor 250U

The Apple A18 Pro, based on the Donan architecture, was developed for mobile devices with high performance requirements.

Manufactured using the advanced 3-nanometer process, this chip offers high energy efficiency. The structure includes specialized cores for different task profiles. In benchmarks, the processor shows high performance in single-core and multi-core calculations. With 20 MB L2 cache and 24 MB L3 cache, delays in data access are minimized.

The integrated Apple A18 Pro (6 GPU Cores) graphics unit is optimized for graphics-intensive applications, with a memory bandwidth of 60 GB/s. The thermal design power is designed for operation in compact housings. Since the chip is permanently integrated, there is no separate market price, which ties the price-performance ratio to the end device.

It is recommended for users seeking high efficiency in a closed system. The Intel Core 7 processor 250U originates from the Raptor Lake architecture and is aimed at users of slim notebooks.

It is manufactured using the 10-nanometer process. The core configuration is designed for a compromise between energy saving and computing power. Since no specific benchmark results are available for this model, the assessment of computing power is based on the underlying architecture, with the system benefiting from a memory bandwidth of 83 GB/s and an L3 cache of 12 MB.

A dedicated Level 2 cache is not present. For graphical tasks, the Intel UHD Graphics Xe G4 (96 EUs) is used, which is primarily designed for office applications. As a U-series model, the focus is on a low TDP to enable long battery life. The price is included in the device price. It is suitable for everyday tasks in Windows environments.
