I looked around for AI specific benchmarks. Seems Openbenchmarking.org has quite a few. The 7940 is just making it's way onto the market, so I chose the closest desktop equivalent with a similar number of cores and memory bandwidth figures. Notably, the 7700 _does not_ have the AI acceleration cores of the 7940, meaning the 7940 will post much higher performance in that area. https://openbenchmarking.org/vs/Processor/Apple+M2,AMD+Ryzen+7+7700+8-Core https://openbenchmarking.org/vs/Processor/Apple+M2,AMD+Ryzen... Sure seems like the M2 is very far behind the 7700 in performance in all areas. Farther than can be explained by the difference in Mhz or package power.
