It's wielding the insurmountable RTX 3080, and it's priced very competitively.īut I'm just going to tell it to you now so we don't make the same mistake we have for the past 10 years of computer hardware discussions: specs don't matter. The upcoming Thinkpad X1 Extreme is going to give it some stiff competition. But Apple has vastly more budget and much more opportunity for vertical integration.īoth companies have done impressive work the last few years. I think the M1 line is more impressive technically than Ryzen, given the very low TDPs. AMD has managed to compete with and outrun Intel from the an initial position of an also-ran underdog. We should complement both AMD and Apple and be happy that we finally have serious competitors to Intel. But it is fantastic that we can have that kind of performance in a mobile device and still have many hours of battery life. I agree on the pricing (I also have a 5900X and a 5950X machine). The M1 Max is really in 5900X/5950X territory. The M1 Max is even 26% faster than the 5950X on multi-threaded FP benchmarks (maybe it has two AMX units?). The 5950X is only 55% faster than the M1 Max on multi-threaded integer benchmarks. Except in benchmarks outside GeekBench it isn't.
