?
I just recently bought a laptop and when I was comparing benchmarks, I didn't see Apple anywhere near the top of the list for CPU single or multithreaded. Not that I remotely care about CPU speeds, my number 1 focus was VRAM. Made it an easy decision since you basically pick something with Nvidia and high VRAM.
- tracker1 3y agoThis is ARM. The cpu isn't the only thing. Memory and disk io are also very good. Also portable/laptop and desktop aren't the same. Mx also has good accelerators for x86 and encoding tasks, so it will depend on what you do. Next gen AMD mobile is also looking very good. AMD 7000 series mobile is really nice, but battery life isn't quite there compared to Apple.

- hospitalJail 3y ago>Probably wasn't normalized as perf per watt. Of course, that is a marketing metric, not something to genuinely care.
- tredre3 3y agoWe're discussing laptops here. Performance per watt is possibly one of the most important metric to the average consumer even if they don't know it by name. Better battery life + less heat = more comfort.
