Same for me. I have a Ryzen 5 and it feels about 3x faster than anything else in the house, and it's not even the most expensive chip in the house. Next year

Same for me.
I have a Ryzen 5 and it feels about 3x faster than anything else in the house, and it's not even the most expensive chip in the house.
Next year definitely getting another Amd chip to upgrade my now old ryzen 5. Not touching Intel again in a long time.
- Geminidog 6y agoExcept the parent poster is comparing Intel macbooks with a ryzen. He's not comparing M1 arm chips like the post. He's mistaken. The amazing thing here if the claims are true is that a simple macbook air has performance on par with a full blown Ryzen desktop.
- josephg 6y agoMe too. I did a test rust compile to quantify the difference. A project that takes 2 minutes on my old 2016 MacBook Pro takes 20 seconds on my new ryzen 5800 desktop machine. And everything launches instantly. It’s an absolute breath of fresh air and I love it.
- merb 6y agokeep in mind that you should not use your 2016 MacBook with an external monitor (without clasmshell)
