Apple M3 (8-GPU) vs Intel Core i7-1360P

The Intel Core i7-1360P is a processor based on the Raptor Lake U architecture, designed for notebooks and compact systems that require a balanced performance and energy efficiency.

It is aimed at users who need solid performance for everyday tasks and more demanding applications. Manufactured using the 10 nm process, it features a hybrid core architecture with performance and efficiency cores. Its integrated graphics unit is the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 96 (Alder Lake). In terms of performance, the Intel Core i7-1360P shows good single-core performance, comparable to the Apple M3 (8-GPU), and solid multi-core performance.

For gaming, the integrated graphics are suitable for less demanding titles. Power consumption is optimized for mobile use, which enables good energy efficiency. It is available in many laptops from various manufacturers, offering a wide range of price options and a flexible price/performance ratio. The Apple M3 (8-GPU) is a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) from Apple, based on the M3 architecture, developed for Mac products such as MacBook Air and iMac.

It targets users who value seamless hardware-software integration and high energy efficiency. Manufactured using the advanced 3 nm process, it also utilizes a hybrid core architecture with performance and efficiency cores, as well as a powerful 8-core graphics unit, the Apple M3 (8 Core). In benchmarks, the Apple M3 (8-GPU) outperforms the Intel Core i7-1360P with significantly better single-core performance and clearly superior multi-core performance.

The integrated graphics offer good performance for many applications and are better suited for gaming than those of the Intel processor, although the game selection on macOS is limited. The energy efficiency of the Apple M3 (8-GPU) is excellent. It is exclusively available in Apple devices, which means an optimized, but limited, hardware selection.
