They both contain a wide variety of built-in effects with very different algorithms, so they are good candidates for such performance tests. Note: no third party host application nor plug-in was used during these tests: we have been running PatchWork or Axiom as standalone applications or loaded as plug-ins inside of of them.


Apple M1 MBP with 16 GB RAM (2021), with 4 “high perf” CPU cores, and 4 “high efficiency” cores.The machines used for the benchmark are top of the line 13 inches MacBook Pros: Let’s see what the tests revealed! Hardware Configurations & Test Conditions We have tested for you the latest previews of two of our flagship products, Axiom and PatchWork, optimized for both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1) processors. Raw CPU performance is one thing, but what’s up with these new machines for real time audio? Do they really perform better than Intel Macs?

The new Apple M1 Macs have been available for a few months now, and the new M1 processor has been reported to bring huge performance gains for multiple CPU benchmarks.
