This compares laptop level power budget vs beefy desktops.
They should include a picture of m4 mini and intel/amd desktops side-by-side.
Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K CPU alone costs the same as m4 mini.
Its base/turbo power is 125/250W while m4 seems to be 11/15W.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoYou're not allowed to compare the M4 to anything that it loses to!
- nullpoint420 2y agoWell to be fair they should've compared it to something price comparable for the whole package. Comparing $600 Mac mini vs $600 CPU doesn't make sense. I can get work done with the Mini, that can't be said with one CPU.
- attentive 2y agoThrow in RTX 4090 into that desktop while at it or they might loose on CPU inference.
- ywvcbk 2y agoMight just as well compare it with EPYC/Xeon.. would be about as meaningful. If we just ignore price and power usage entirely it’s pretty pointless. Of course Studio and the Mac Pro probably don’t really offer such great value as the Mini
- nextos 2y agoThe base M4 Mini offers great value per $ and per Watt. It'd be cool to compare to a similar PC alternative.
