M series have always been extremely competitive on single-core, but not really "the champ". Now this one is beating the Core i9-14900KS in a device with only modest copper heatsinking (with a heatsink likely less than 3mm thick)! That merits the article title.
- paulmd 2y agoM1 Max beat 5950X in overall single-threaded SPEC2017 when it came out. It won big in some MT workloads too. Punching within its own weight class, laptop chips rather than expecting it to outright beat desktop chips... it beat the 5980HS and 11980HK in every single test. It just didn't sink into the public consciousness too well at that point because everyone assumed it must have been some erroneous test/outlier. https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performance-review/4 https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc... https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performance-review/5 https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...
- daghamm 2y ago5980HS is a laptop chip, it is more fair to compare it to M1 and maybe M1 pro. While M1 Max can be used in laptops, the benchmarks I've seen have been for the mini/imac where it doesn't have power and thermal limitations of a laptop. Besides, the cheapest M1 Max laptop is $1000 more expensive than the most expensive 5980HS laptop :(
