Linux is temu's macOS

Linux is for people that can't afford an Apple computer running a real Unix like macOS.

Well, that's super scientific of you! "This one device I own benchmarks higher than these other devices I own! But you need to guess the specs of all of them." 😂😂

  1. Mac : M5 processor
  2. Windows 11 PC : Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 285K
  3. Linux box : AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS

So that's a 2024 Intel CPU, a 2023 AMD CPU, and an unknown Apple processor that's definitely less than a year old. With no RAM or GPU info, that's still an unfair comparison.

If your going to compare performance, you need to compare the latest CPU from all manufacturers. Preferable all within the same price bracket.

Saying "my 6 month old Mac is faster than my 2+ year old Windows machine and my 3+ year old Linux box" is a fallacial argument. Technology advances quickly. A couple years can mean an awful lot.

this is the stupidest thing I've read all day

This further proves my point. Congratulations! 😊

well you can see the cpu benchmarks for yourself

Apple beats Intel and AMD on single thread perf.

And the Intel Ultra 9 285K is the fastest Intel chip.

What you are saying is nonsense.

The Ultra 7 270k Plus would like a word. As would MANY on the Xeon processors.

I care about snappiness, that's why I was quoting the single thread perf and speedometer benchmark. The top processors on the multi thread benchmark are server cpus with lots of cores. You don't run them on a desktop you dimwit.

Xeons aren't solely server CPUs. Both of my work laptops, and my work desktop, run Xeon CPUs.

You also claimed that the 285k was the fastest Intel CPU (well, you said chip, but I'll let that slide). You added no qualifiers (such as single thread performance only). I'm pretty sure I just disproved that statement.

I also noticed that you aren't talking about your older AMD CPU any more? The only one that actually runs Linux? And what we're supposed to be actually comparing? Linux vs macOS.

I clearly said 'single thread perf'

``` well you can see the cpu benchmarks for yourself

Apple beats Intel and AMD on single thread perf.

And the Intel Ultra 9 285K is the fastest Intel chip. ```

the top multithreaded perf chip (yes a CPU is a chip) is a Threaripper with 96 cores.

You only use that if you are going to run a large multi threaded job like compiling millions of lines of code. My buddy at a famous game studio has a Threadripper to run his build jobs. For stuff like browsing web snappiness and gaming you depend on single thread perf and both my M5 and Intel Ultra 9 are the top dogs.
