Yet they are still the king of single threaded performance (barely). I'm not so quick to rule out Intel, even if I have no love for them. While the M1 was extremely impressive from a power efficiency standpoint, I think the jury is far from out on whether Apple will be able to take those gains and scale them to serious computers.
- lukevp 6y agoWhere are you getting that they’re the king of single thread? That was true (barely) last gen of AMD, and is not true anymore. AMD is better at single and multi core as well as power efficiency. From the article: > Our results clearly show that Intel’s performance, while substantial, still trails its main competitor, AMD. In a core-for-core comparison, Intel is slightly slower and a lot more inefficient.

- aryonoco 6y agoThey certainly are not king of single threaded performance. Both Zen 3 and Apple's M1 comfortably best Intel in single core performance, using much less power to achieve that. Intel lost the single threaded crown in mid 2020.
- philistine 6y agoI assure you my M1 Macbook Air is a serious computer. I know what you mean by serious, but honestly the only thing lacking from the M1 chip is connectivity. All three computers Apple released have the same limitation; two PCIe lanes for external connections.
