Depends what you are doing with it. In single-threaded tasks, I noticed my M1 Pro can outperform my gaming PC (5950x).

- Melatonic 5y agoThat is also however a VERY old processor at this point even if it was probably the best thing Intel has ever made (comparatively for the time)
- moonchrome 5y ago5950X is probably referring to latest AMD flagship desktop CPU [1] [1] https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5950x https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5950x
- Melatonic 5y agoahhhh nvm then. Should that not absolutely destroy an m1 though?
- moonchrome 5y agoNot really, Apple is one generation ahead of AMD in manufacturing process at TSMC.
- Melatonic 5y agoAccording to Passmark even the 10 core M1 Max gets absolutely destroyed by the 5950X just like I thought. Great chips for mobile use due to power savings but the top desktop chips still are all of course much faster at the expensive of extra watts.
- moonchrome 5y agoOP was talking about single core performance.
- StillBored 5y agoIt depends on the benchmark the 5950X is faster single threaded in a number of benchmarks but the converse is also true. But, it does tend to win overwhelmingly in multi threaded.
- StillBored 5y agoSlightly, although less so if you have code you can compile yourself and use -march=native. The M1 is heavily default optimized for the M1, random x86 binaries are generally optimized for something like a Pentium 4. Just tweaking this one thing, can easily double perf. Also, as someone who owns both, make sure the 5950 is actually turbo'ing correctly. Mine was a real pain to get it up to speed, despite having a seriously overkill water cooler.
