The ST advantage of Apple Silicon is real. 7950x does do better in highly parallel tasks.
To me, Apple Silicon is clearly leading clients over AMD/Intel. Hence, my original reason for why AMD's announcement isn't "exciting". Because Apple Silicon is so far ahead in client.
Of course, AMD can crank up the core via Epyc/Threadripper and Apple has no answer. For that, you'd need to look into ARM chips from Ampere/Amazon for a competitor.
- KingOfCoders 2y agoYes, and is great if you are a gamer / have software that doesn't multi-core.

- KingOfCoders 2y agoYes, if you have very expensive power, then this is a consideration.
