My Ryzen 3900 is also so much faster than my (former dev machine) iMacPro with a Xeon and fast SSD (Rust compiles, TypeScript builds).
Tech moves on.
But the main thing for me is Linux, as it feels much more responsive than current OS X versions on the iMacPro.
(the reason for dropping the iMacPro was no AI learning though not performance).

- Steltek 6y agoIt's missing KingOfCoders point of these comparisons being all within the Apple ecosystem. MacBooks infamously have cooling problems and macOS is precisely balanced for battery life on Apple hardware, not AMD Hackintoshes with no speed limits. What happens to these benchmarks if you jettison the Apple overhead entirely?
