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

Ultra 9 285k or something else?

270K Plus with 48GB or more DDR5-7200 and a decent Gen 5 NVMe SSD will be my suggestion. The 270K Plus despite the name is basically a newer refreshed version of the 285K. For tasks like video editing/processing, the faster RAM and SSD helps it load, save, etc faster. 6400 is officially supported by

Was time for an upgrade

Switched back to Intel—my brother calls it “The Light Side” 🤣. Upgraded from a Ryzen 9 3900X to an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K, and safe to say, my 4090 is no longer bottlenecked.

Current Specs:

Case: HAVN HS420 Premium Mid Tower CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix Z890-E Cooler:

Apple discontinues the Mac Pro with no plans for future hardware

I'm confused why you think the M3 Ultra is a laptop chip. It's not. Yeah, the Mac Pro shipped with Xeons, and it was a niche product. Apple said it was a single digit percentage of all Mac sales. That's why they stopped selling it. Almost no one was buying it. The M3 Ultra also outperforms the Core

Immersive - I would say so yes. This is my first ultrawide monitor in general, so I don't know what the 45 and 52 inch ones are like (I was originally looking at a 45'' myself but it seems that Tandem OLED is just for 39'' this time so I went with it). The pixel density is great - it is a bit lower

Proof Intel has better thread IPC and performance with Arrow Lake than slow Zen 5

Actually the 270K plus is only a better binned 285k. Both CPUs were released in 2024 (Zen 5 and Arrow Lake). P cores and E cores have different IPC yes, but we average them out. Intel technically is at a disadvantage here because of we are adding the slightly lower IPC E-core to the high IPC P core

Building a PC for Design. Is this good enough?

Check if your software of choice runs faster on an Intel 270K/285K. They have more cores than the 9950X. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/intel-core-ultra-200s-content-creation-review/ Is 32GB enough RAM for your rendering projects? Most people go 2x24 or 2x32GB for a workstation. Modern v
