Apple Silicon is magnitudes more efficient. It cannot be explained by node size alone. TSMC 5nm is 15%-25% higher performance or 30% lower power compared to TSM

Apple Silicon is magnitudes more efficient. It cannot be explained by node size alone. TSMC 5nm is 15%-25% higher performance or 30% lower power compared to TSMC 7nm.
Also, Apple's 7nm chips outperformed AMD/Intel 7nm chips.
- pulse7 4y agoCompare AMD Ryzen 7 5800U [1] with Apple M2 8 Core [2] and you will see that Apple Silicon is not "magnitudes more efficient", but ca. 30% faster in single-thread, but at the same time 30% slower in multi-thread and with 25% higher TDP... This is not "magnitudes more efficient"... [1] https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+5800U&id=4102 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+5800U&i...

- senttoschool 4y agoPassmark is a terrible benchmark. Stick to SPEC or Geekbench5. This Reddit post summarizes the efficiency and speed advantages of the M1: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/nii37s/comment/gz2xd7y/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/nii37s/comment/gz...
