Your paying a lot for all of that GPU compute with the amount of die space it takes up. Apple's Intel CPU options were also pretty old and low power, so it feels like a much bigger difference if you are stuck on apple platforms to do your work, like iOS.
If apple kept up with x86 CPUs the difference on macOS wouldn't have been as wide. When you compare a Ryzen 5000 series with the same core count, they are fairly comparable in compile times AFAIK.
- josephg 5y ago> they are fairly comparable in compile times AFAIK. Yeah I can confirm that. I have an 8 core ryzen 5800, and its performance when compiling rust code is almost identical to my 8+2 core macbook pro. The macbook pulls ahead slightly in single core performance, but I think the ryzen takes longer before thermally throttling - which makes sense given its a desktop workstation.
