I decided to do a Cinebench benchmark test of the MacBook Air with the Apple Silicon M2 vs the 16" MacBook Pro with the i9.
System Specs:
Macbook Air M2
24Gb Ram
8 Core CPU
10 Core GPU
MacBook pro 16"
8 Core Intel i9
64Gb Ram
4Gb AMD Radeon 5500
Clean install of MacOS 12.5 with Cinebench benchmark test.
