Apple silicon CPU rankings by chip bin
CPU leader on this list: M5 Max 18-core at 337 (about 3.37× the MacDiff baseline). Below are 28 Apple silicon chip bins sorted by MacDiff CPU index — the same bins that power MacBook, mini, Studio, and iMac configs in the catalog.
Each bar spans the row; length is relative to the top score on this list. The scale is MacDiff’s own: entry-level M1 Air = 100, not a raw benchmark point.
How to read this list
Each row is a chip bin (exact CPU-core / GPU-core combo), not a marketing name alone. Open a row to filter /models by that chip name. Filter notebook vs desktop when you only care about one chassis class. Looking for a finished Mac config? Use /models or /compare — this page is bins only.
Scale reminder (shared with the rest of the atlas): entry-level MacBook Air M1 = 100, and these integers are not Geekbench.

FAQ
Is this Geekbench?
No. These are MacDiff CPU indices (M1 Air = 100). Methodology: /legal/disclaimer.
Why 28 bins on /cpu but more chip-bin IDs elsewhere?
/cpu lists bins that have a MacDiff CPU ranking entry. /gpu lists GPU-ranked bins. Catalog unique bin IDs can be higher. Same atlas, different slices — details on /legal/disclaimer.
Where is my MacBook model?
Open /models for configurations. This list is chip bins only; each row filters the catalog by that chip name.
