ARM is also a bit of cargo cult. Apple CPUs are efficient and performant, other ARM CPUs not so much. If it's really the ISA or other "secret" Apple sauce, which makes all the difference, is not completely clear.
- hypercube33 3y agoAlso some things to consider is that apple dropped the majority of legacy software support and runs native arm64 code for a majority of apps. also somewhere I saw that amd64 is better performance per watt than m2 or m3
- minimaul 3y agoI have a 35W AMD 5750GE (zen 3, 8c16t), along with M1, M1 Max and M2 Pro devices - the AMD processor and M1/M2 chips trade blows depending on workload. It’s absolutely possible to get x86_64 to the same power/performance envelope as apple’s M series chips :)
