Let's not use Passmark MT. Stick to the better benchmarks that are optimized for both ARM and x86. GB5 and GB6, M1 is faster in MT despite having 4 fewer cores. If you can find SPEC scores, that'd be great too.
HX 370 vs M1, what's the perf/watt for SPEC and GB5/6 and Cinebench 2024?
HX370 consumes a lot more power. Hence, there aren't any fanless laptops available for it.
4 years later, AMD's chips still can't work in a fanless laptop.

At some point you just run out of benchmarks. The majority of benchmarks people ordinarily use already don't run on Macs.

It has the same number of cores as the 7730U. Half the M1's cores are E-cores, but that should be an advantage on a comparison at a given power level because E-cores have better performance per watt. The M1 gets within the margin of error of the same MT score on the benchmark you actually like even though the M1 is built on a newer process.

You keep asking for benchmarks that probably nobody has published.

It has a configurable TDP down to 15W. You can make a laptop that passively dissipates 15W. But you can also make a laptop with a fan in it which is capable of higher performance from the same silicon and then have a setting for "silent mode" that lets you switch between them at will. People generally like that better so that's what they make.
>At some point you just run out of benchmarks. The majority of benchmarks people ordinarily use already don't run on Macs.
You just need GB5 or GB6. They are correlated to SPEC. Anything else is sort of worthless in 2024.

You're right, the 7730U does have 8 cores only. My mistake.
OP has already cited sufficient stats to prove his point, and you're looping on reply for different sources.
Why don't you supply your own sources? You're making a claim just the same as the OP, without providing any evidence in your favor. A good faith responder would do the legwork to provide a researched counterpoint.
To anybody that has actually been paying attention to CPU evolution over the years, the process node has clearly been the main differentiator between CPU performance. Intel had the process advantage and thus the CPU advantage, and now they don't.
Architecture matters too, but does not result anywhere near an order of magnitude difference, conventionally.
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.
>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)
No it does not. Apple's chips are significantly more efficient.
