Lackluster M1 Max perfs reboosts the Hackintosh interest

Geekbench 5 hasn’t addressed the new chips as that base frequency is only 24 MHz.

check this one. 3.22 Ghz. 12693 multicore. gunning for desktop 5800x and 11900k, in geek bench at least. Wonder about other benchmarks.

To amplify the previous point, Do these scores include the special Media Engine juju that lets Apple brag about FCX performance, and the bionic accel for neutral net code? Doubtful.

Assuming these results are legit — we'll know soon enough — this laptop strongly contends with Intel's top overclocked desktop gaming PC in the sense the of tit-for-tat performance measures that Intel and AMD use to differentiate their offerings.

So the price, power, performance looks excellent even before you factor in the special units that enable Apple's apps magic.

Apple is showing how to get much more value from electrons, where PC is stuck on gaming workloads based on energy levels of a space heater.

WRT GPU
Geekbench OpenCL GPU "Compute" on MBP is coming in at about 22000, compared to 60000 to 160000 for $1000+ dGPUs, but the specialization of GPU performance is very tricky to generalize by benchmarks.
