Apparently the Asus Zephyrus beats it on a number of benchmarks by a large margin, but I'm not sure if those were just GPU benchmarks, and I'm not sure if those were on battery tests. Linus Tech Tips did a recent comparison.
- izacus 5y agoIt's always telling that these benchmarks are done vs. old Intel chips inside the Mac and not the current competitors like latest AMD Ryzen series. Apple chips still win, but nowhere near with the same margin as those breathless marketing posts are trying to advertise.

- breakfastduck 5y agoOnly the majority of people getting M1s are upgrading from macs with those old intel chips, so they're also the most relevant to the customer.
- traceroute66 5y agoThe Asus probably also runs hotter and requires more use of fans. And I doubt the battery will last as long on intensive tasks. A big part of the M1 performance per watt efficiency is the SoC integrated design. I'm no motherboard designer but I think it would be nigh on impossible to replicate it using discrete component systems (which I assume is what the Asus is). Will caveat my comment here with a note that I haven't looked at comparisons for a while, only around the time the M1 was launched.
