Prolonged compiling tasks will thermally throttle the 1185g7 chip long before the M1.
It will run circles around the 1185g7 compiling large codebases.
Passmarks across hundreds of benches show a 25% single and 40% multithreaded performance boost over the 1185g7.
I’ve got an i9 8/16 laptop chip and the 13” M1 is trading blows with my laptop despite 2-3x the thermal headroom and considerably less cores/threads across all workloads.
- pja 5y agoThe frame.work people are very explicit that they’ve designed the cooling system to permit you to run the CPU fairly hard. It can dump 28W continuously according to https://frame.work/gb/en/blog/the-upgradeable-mainboard https://frame.work/gb/en/blog/the-upgradeable-mainboard. The i9 Apple laptops were notorious for not having a cooling system that could match the heat output of the CPU & throttling almost instantly. Modern Intel laptop CPUs are no where near the performance / W of the M1, but they are considerably better than those that Apple stuffed into their laptops a few years ago with inadequate cooling I believe.
- liamwestray 5y agoThat was a firmware issue pre 2019 model that was corrected in a few weeks that got overblown. The throttling problem doesn’t exist anymore. The only problem with the first generation framework laptop is intel’s quad core CPU because of thermal and power problems associated with their process nodes. Hex core is really the lowest I will go now for anything over $1000. If this was a Ryzen 5800u, I’d have bought one already.
