- mceachen 2y agoTo my eye that looks essentially like a tie, which may seem like not that big of a deal. When I run compilation and multithreaded integration tests on my chonky AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (16 cores, 32 threads) on Ubuntu 24.04, and on my 2020 M1 Mac mini (8 cores), *the mini keeps up*. It’s quite impressive.
- jchw 2y agoThe pricing issue is complicated because you can't consider the price of the Apple CPU on its own. However, you can get a Mac with 16 GiB of RAM, 256 GiB of SSD storage, and 10 cores of Apple M4 for $600. Even if you use the least charitable benchmarks for the M4, that is going to put it way above a similarly-priced PC. Of course, once you start upgrading the RAM and SSD, the prices will lift into the sky.
