A 7950X capped to 65W is around 40% faster than an M1 Ultra. Capped to 105W it's almost 50% ahead (according to CPUMark).
For a workstation there is no comparison in terms of either performance or price. (Mac does have the high-bandwidth unified memory going for it which can make a difference in some situations.)
- _ph_ 4y agoYes, there are configurations where a PC is a way better machine for the money, especially where Apple doesn't offer a directly comparable alternative. However, that doesn't mean, this applies in general, especially with laptops rather Apple is ahead of the game. So it varies by category and configuration.
- paulrpotts 4y agoIt will be interesting to see whether Apple can continue with M3s, etc. I think they are facing pretty hard process limitations and I'm not sure that adding parallelism will get them huge gains on normal workloads, so they may be stuck at a plateau for a while, but we'll see.
