It exists. E.g. on macOS it’d actually use the AMX matrix multiplication units (for benchmarks that use BLAS) and blow away most x86_64 CPUs that have to rely on AVX2.
- bildung 4y agoFair, but phoronix is a linux site, and thus performance under macOS won't be of interest for most readers. The performance as stated is the actual performance one currently gets under linux, regardless of potential.
- rbanffy 4y agoI’d say Phoronix’d audience prefers Linux but are quite friendly to other Unixes. The Mac has a very reasonable Unix running on it. Fun to think that Apple almost has a monopoly on RISC technical workstations…
- xbar 4y agoWhich is deeply interesting to people who want to run Asahi Linux on an M2. I found the data compelling--M2 silicon under Linux is generally competitive against contemporary strong x86 laptops, but if you are sensitive about the performance of a particular workload, choose your device carefully.
