If the architecture is vastly different, these comparisons become sort of meaningless, though. The ultimate performance is determined by all the tiny little bottlenecks, like how quickly the architecture can move data between different types of cores, memory, cache, etc.

Apple has always been really good at parallelism, which is why they get so much performance from less power consumption.

Yeah, it’s completely meaningless to compare but HN loves specs & seemingly hasn’t learned—after about 15 years of it being true—that direct spec comparisons are meaningless.

I see if with every major product announcement, the worst are usually Apple threads but it’s not constrained only there.
