Apple toys with the competition - MacBook Neo's A18 Pro offers more single-core performance than any mobile processor from AMD, Intel or Qualcomm

Well. 147 points in CB2024 and ~3400 it scores in GB6 is as high as any x86 processor scores, full stop. A 285K gets 150 points in Cinebench and a 9950X will get 3300-3400 in Geekbench. A 285K doesn’t do 3400 in Geekbench and a 9950X doesn’t do 150 in Cinebench. Either of those need more on a single

Apple will end support for Intel Macs next year; macOS 27 will require Apple Silicon

For laptops, the M1 also soundly beat Tiger Lake & Zen3. // I literally had to rewrite my comment here: I was going to say, "Apple's 1T perf margins have shrunk; AMD & Intel are gaining ground slowly." Boy was I fucking wrong. Today in 1T perf (the hardest battle to win), the M4 bests AMD's Zen5 & I

Reality check my build- $2.3k USD is so expensive for my first sffpc?

Don't see a reason to go with the 9800X3D if this is mainly a workstation. You're also paying a large premium for the case. There are less expensive options. For example, the below upgrades the CPU to a 9950X and the GPU to a 5070, still in a case the same size as the FormD T1 and Terra (Lian Li A4

Apple's A19 Pro beats Ryzen 9 9950X in single-thread Geekbench tests — iPhone 17 Pro chip packs 11-12% CPU performance bump, GPU performance up 37% over predecessor

The new six-core Apple A19 Pro does just that: it beats its pred

Having Trouble Pulling the Trigger On My Build List

You should prioritise the GPU over the CPU for AI work like that. Also, get the bundle only from Microcenter, everything else is usually worse price there.

Feedback appreciated.

Yeah there's a bunch of issues, to clarify - this is a gaming oriented PC, right?I ask because the 9950x is a workstation CPU, more than 32gb of RAM is also useless in a gaming context as wellYou also don't need a motherboard more expensive than $300 or soYou can get a fast 4tb SSD for significantly
