I doubt this is going to feel slow in actual use. You've got 8 big arm cores with a lot of memory, fast storage, and active cooling.

- jyrkesh 4y agoHaving worked with Windows on ARM in the past, I _hope_ you're right. But my experience has been that a ton of code is still going through the x86 emulation layer, which IMO is woefully lacking in performance, particularly compared to Apple's Rosetta 2 (which is a magical marvel of engineering).

- nebula8804 4y agoI learned this lesson the hard way during the AMD Phenom era. Core count are not a good representation of performance because the 8 "big" cores could be blazing fast or be secretly powered by a hamster on a wheel. What is the actual benchmark performance on real applications you might use? Thats what matters at the end of the day.
- seanp2k2 4y agoThere are already other machines with 8cx Gen3 CPUs on Geekbench if you want to compare: https://browser.geekbench.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=8cx+gen+3 https://browser.geekbench.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=8cx+ge... it's like a third slower than an M1 Max in single-core.
