It's weird how many absolutely landslide victories there are back and forth even within the same program. Like usually AMD vs. Intel it's mostly neck and neck, eeking out an edge here and there.
But here there's quite a few >2x wins and not even consistently within a given program. Like GNU radio can't make up its mind which one will utterly dominate.
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoThe M1 is a very different chip from traditional x86. It only has 128 bit vectors, which can be a major bottleneck in software that is perfectly vectorized, but it also has way more out of order execution and decode bandwidth.
- kllrnohj 4y agoThis Ryzen only has 256 bit vectors, though, it's not like the avx512 monsters that Intel randomly pushes. And in specfp2017 the M1 was overall stronger than even a 5950X ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested/4 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste... ). It was specint2017 where it fell behind, almost the reverse of what you'd expect.
