OP has been using outdated benchmarks not optimized for ARM to prove his point.

Look at GB instead. GB is highly correlated to SPEC.

M1 is significantly faster in ST and MT while using a lot less power.

And this AMD processor is not the one specified in the OP (Ryzen HX 370) and is not on the same process node as the m1, thus not valid to prove your counterpoint.

You are comparing a 7nm processor to a 5nm one, and yet the gap isn't even very large. Which was entirely the OPs point.

Does a 5nm AMD chip perform similarly to the 5nm Apple chip at the same wattage? (Again, performance does not increase linearly with wattage, as you're likely to cite something violating this logic in the next response)

You seem to not understand the point being discussed though, so no reason to discuss further

>You are comparing a 7nm processor to a 5nm one, and yet the gap isn't even very large. Which was entirely the OPs point.

The gap is huge. AMD's 7nm chip typically uses ~5x more power than the M1 and is still slower.

No it does not. Apple's chips are significantly more efficient.

What is your point?
