Macworld spotted Basecamp founder David Heinemeier Hanson tweeting his own results, using the Apple tool Speedometer 2.0.Īpple’s chip team continues to embarrass everyone else in the business. But with these things noted, let’s see how the chips compare.Īpple’s WebKit team designed Speedometer as a way of simulating user interactions with websites and web-based apps in order to measure the responsiveness of the browser. If you have a lot of other apps open, doing things in the background, then you’ll see dramatically slower speeds.

You’ll only see the fastest speeds your machine can achieve when only the browser is open. Namely, the other apps your Mac is running at the time. On the other, the speed of the browser itself pales when compared to your connection speed, and the speed of the webserver at the other end. On the one hand, web browsing is probably the single most frequent activity on a Mac. We can now add web browsing speed into the mix – for whatever that’s worth. We’ve seen the results of a whole bunch of benchmarks measuring M2 Mac speeds in the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.
