Apple M2 vs. AMD Rembrandt vs. Intel Alder Lake Linux Benchmarks
- gardenfelder 4y agoWhat should matter is their relative carbon footprints
- eesmith 4y ago> The performance-per-Watt [of the M2] likely comes out ahead of the AMD and Intel CPUs given the raw performance results and how unusually cool the MacBook Air remained during the benchmarking in comparison to the Intel / AMD laptops. But for lack of SoC power consumption monitoring under Linux yet for the M2, there isn't any firm numbers to share at this time. But given the competitive raw performance, it's suffice to say that the M2 likely leads in performance-per-Watt in at least most of the tests. However, that's for CPU-only. As mentioned: > The big elephant in the room when it comes to the M1/M2 support on Linux is, of course, the GPU. Running Asahi Linux on the Apple Silicon devices will lead to just the LLVMpipe-based software OpenGL implementation.
