Staggering M1X performance predictions place the upcoming 10-core Apple Silicon ahead of a 2019 16-core Mac Pro

New performance predictions for the Apple M1X SoC have been offered up, and they show the 10-core Apple Silicon surpassing the 16-core Intel Xeon W-3245 in the Mac Pro from Late 2019. It has also been reckoned that the M1X cores will be based on both M1 and A15 cores, presumably for increased efficiency.

Regardless of the name of the SoC that should be powering the expected upcoming MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16, many commenters are predicting that the so-called M1X will be an absolute beast of a processor.
