At the launch of the largest version of its M1 Ultra processor, Apple presented extremely selective performance comparisons with x86 processors and large, unrealistic graphics cards. More detailed this manipulation in terms of GPU we dedicate space to Cnewsthe performance of the CPU part is on it similarly worse than Apple drew.
It is true that the Apple M1 Ultra is a very powerful chip, both in terms of CPU and GPU. However, this 5nm giant monolith (see video from the discussion below) still loses significantly with 7nm + 12nm (chipsets + I / O) Ryzeny, but also 10nm (Intel 7 process) Core i9 generation Alder Lake. So again: if AMD or Intel produced their processors completely on the 5nm TSMC process, it would be even worse for Apple (especially it would compensate for the consumption that is a key part of Apple’s comparison). So they carefully took the tests in the delicious apple for the presentations, where it works best for the M1 Ultra, and they kept the rest silent.
Nevertheless, a warning finger can be raised again: a well-designed ARM CPU manufactured by a state-of-the-art manufacturing process can outperform everything the x86 world has to offer on desktops. If the M1 Ultra contained other CPU cores instead of GPU cores, the meaning of this text would be quite the opposite. Otherwise, the photo from the video below comparing the size of the M1 Ultra case with AMD Ryzen needs clarification: Apple hides under the heat switch everything else that plays a role in the new Mac Studio, including memory chips, etc. AM4 Ryzen is a bare CPU without a GPU part.
