Nice CPU benchmark for year-on-year performance here:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/year-on-year.html https://www.cpubenchmark.net/year-on-year.html
The data shows that the average laptop CPU in 2024 has 56% better thread performance, and 123% better total performance, compared to the average laptop in 2019.
Laptop thread 2019: 1689 avg. score
Laptop total 2019: 6396 avg. score
Laptop thread 2024: 2643 avg. score
Laptop total 2024: 14288 avg. score
For the specific case, just look up the benchmarks for the CPUs you are comparing.
- osigurdson 2y agoFor me, intel hardware is basically the same: slow, hot and noisy. ARM is fast, cool and quiet. Once a company stops being cool it dies.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y ago> ARM is fast, cool and quiet. Macs are fast, cool, and quiet; are there other ARM machines that are fast and not super expensive servers? (Edit: To be clear, I'm skeptical but also if you know of one I'd be very interested)
- GianFabien 2y agoI'm using a Lenovo ARM (8 core) ChromeBook on the road. Works very well and only cost a fraction of an Apple MacBook Air.
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoIs it actually performant? I've got a https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Flex_3_Chromebook_(MT8183)_(google-fennel) https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Lenovo_IdeaPad_Flex_3_Chr... that I like - also for on-the-road use, actually - but it's not exactly a powerhouse.
- talldayo 2y agoIf it can run a Linux shell and launch Docker containers without heating up to 60c, it's got a leg up on my Macbook. That's for sure.
- GianFabien 2y agoFor me it suffices, quickly lookup information that I need and handle urgent emails. When on the road, I meet with clients, partners and vendors. I don't sit in coffee shops debugging complex apps. That is what my office with desktop computers and servers are for. Whilst traveling I try to address my sleep deficit.
- shortrounddev2 2y agoWindows runs on ARM, they have ARM based surfaces now
- goosedragons 2y agoAnd they even predate ARM Macs! Even for full fat Windows 10/11.
- moooo99 2y agoThey predate it, but windows RT was essentially unusable. Windows on ARM has only become mostly usable with the introduction of the Snapdragon Elite CPUs this year
- troyvit 2y agoI'm kinda psyched about this: https://system76.com/desktops/thelio-astra https://system76.com/desktops/thelio-astra It's an arm64 Linux workstation.
- moooo99 2y agoThe Ampere CPUs are super interesting, I am a bit sad it is only absolve for OEM customers
- firecall 2y agoIt’s not just CPU either! The GPU and other I/O makes a noticeable difference to quality of life IMHO.
