I note that if those performance numbers are correct it'll still be a lot slower than Intel's Core i9-13980HX laptop CPU. The M2 Max was between 50% and 80% of the speed of the 13980HX on most benchmarks. A 15%-30% uplift will get it closer to the Intel part but still not reach it.
- runeks 3y agoGood point. However, when they’re that close in performance, I think power usage should be taken into account. It’s a laptop CPU after all. Maybe I’d rather have 80% of the performance at 4x the battery life
- runeks 3y agoDid you account for the M3 Max having four extra performance cores (12 versus 8 for the M2 Max)?
- spacentropy 3y agoYeah, but the problem is that 13980HX has 24 cores, 32 threads and incredible 157W Turbo Power. That means it will be really slow when on battery. And when connected to the mains, it'll be as loud as an airplane taking off. The perf per watt claims still apply.
