This bit from the article might bring things into focus:
> "I add the following comment as of Dec 14: we care how fast our dev computer runs. the multi-core advantage of 3900X is useless for most of the benchmarks here that don't represent the real-world production performance at all but devs usually work on their laptops, desktops, etc most of the time so I think such real-world development performance benchmarks make it worthwhile though. of course, Ryzen 3900X will perform way better than M1 and Intel when it comes to production, mostly achieved by parallelizing."
- eropple 6y agoThat explanation doesn't make a lot of sense, though. Like, I mostly do web-dev type stuff these days and my 3900X is alarmingly busy. Background compiles, entirely too many Chromium (or Electron) threads, all my other random running applications--the thing is significantly snappier even than the 2600X I replaced it with, and it's gotten to the point where using a laptop shy of a desktop replacement is pretty aggravating. (I'm not interested in going back to MacOS so I'm not really looking at the M1 as anything other than intellectually interesting at the moment, but if I were it certainly at least seems like it might compete there.)
- ogre_codes 6y agoI agree. Though much of the writing on this benchmark/ blog seems confusing to me and the charts are all over the place in terms of style as well.
