So, just because you used one metric, then I shouldnt look at the other metrics?
- xcv123 3y agoYou said "perf and price". Benchmarks show they are not beating Apple hard at performance. For price there is no straightforward way to compare since you can't buy standalone Apple CPUs.
- tester756 3y ago>Benchmarks show they are not beating Apple hard at performance So how should I understand this other ranking from the website that you've provided? https://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html https://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html
- xcv123 3y agoYeah that's a multi-core rating. Apple doesn't lead on that currently, but for some reason that list doesn't include the M2 Ultra which would have their highest multi-core rating. Apple beats them on single-core ratings. You can see the single-core rating if you click on one of those results.
- xcv123 3y agoM2 Ultra is on the desktop charts. At that level its competing on efficiency and capped by power consumption. It can't reach 5 GHz with only 80 watts for all cores. Running at 3.5 GHz. The Intel and AMD CPUs need hundreds of watts and reach 5 GHz+. It's a tradeoff for efficiency. Different design decisions. Different tradeoffs. Not exactly competing in the same market segments. Mac Pro is often used for video editing. The M2 Ultra has hardware acceleration for video encoding/decoding that would need a separate accelerator card on Intel or AMD to match: "M2 Ultra can support up to 22 streams of 8K ProRes 422 video playback"
