Is it just me or do all the main computer vendors have plateaued with regards with to single core performance?

- mcintyre1994 5y agoEverything M1 is using the same core, so it won’t move until they go from M1 to something else. They have managed to increase it pretty consistently with every iOS A series chip though: https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks So hopefully the A16 will have at least a small improvement over the A15/M1 and that’ll show in the M2 range, if that’s what they end up doing next.
- arvinsim 5y agoAlmost all current CPUs, x86 or ARM seem to be stuck at 1.6-1.7k range in GeekBench. Still waiting for something that breaks the 2k or 3k benchmark.
- hajile 5y agoApple still has a lot left if they wanted. Intel clocks up to 5GHz to achieve numbers similar to Apple at 3GHz. If Apple increased speeds to 5GHz, their theoretical scores would be closer to 2400.
- wmf 5y agoFirestorm can't clock any higher and if they redesigned the core for higher frequency it would lower IPC, possibly leaving performance the same.
- mdp2021 5y agoI compared these numbers in topic with those of the CPU I most respect for energy efficiency while retaining desktop-like power: the single core ratio is 2.5x, but the multicore ratio is 15x.
- XelNika 5y agoIntel Alder Lake delivered around a 15% improvement to single-core performance gen-on-gen so it's just you.
- lupire 5y agoIt's not the 40% year of Moore's law...
- XelNika 5y agoMoore's law is about transistor density, not single-core performance. Even if a new generation of chips obeys the "law", there is no requirement that the designers dedicate the improvement to single-core performance. Alternatives include multi-core performance and miniaturisation.
