You bought an i7 MacBook in 2017. Do you consider that to be an actual computer? This CPU is 5x faster than that CPU while getting twice the battery life.
"Are you getting it?"
Nope it's a paperweight now, doesn't even work. Too light to even be a good paperweight
About 6% slower than Ryzen 4600U which is also a 15W chip. Not nearly as impressive as Geekbench scores.
4700U and 4800U are also 15W chips and get a lot higher scores. Ryzen 4800U gets over 10,000 compared to M1's 7500 in R23 Multi-Core Cinebench tests.

You don't understand this very well. First, nobody knows that M1 is 15w. based on battery life claims it's probably considerably less. The 4800u has 8 identical cores four of them are not low power like the M1.
The AMD chips are great but you still can't buy them in anything that's close to a premium notebook.
I guess if you you use your laptop plugged in with the cpu pegged at 100% all the time get the ryzen. I'll take the 6% performance hit in exchange for the best battery life by far in a laptop.
7 nm AMD Ryzen 7 4800U is as fast as the 14 nm Core i9-9880H and at half the TDP, but there's a huge catch
Can an 8-core 25 W cTDP Ryzen 7 4800U outperform the popular 8-core 45 W Core i9-9880H? They're much closer than what you might think at least until you start stressing the Ryzen processor over very long periods.
also notice how performance on cinebench did not dip off the charger...... are the cpu's we comparing it too especially on windows OS able to do the same?
This is a good comparison: mobile and recent chips. Agree that it’s not as impressive as GB scores (but those where out of this world)
But if we use IPC / performance per watt it seems that the M1 (10w) still beats the 4800U (15w).

So Ryzen 4800U not really a 15W CPU as the manufacturer can choose any TDP between 15 and 25W.
We’re comparing chips not cores, right ? So he has a point.
But everyone can see that Apple could package 8 high performance cores in an M2 with 25W TDP and trounce the Ryzen in Cinebench.
How you like them apples ???
You forgot: *and* all during the holiday extended-return-period in which all pre-Christmas purchases are returnable until January 8th... (US market at least).
I have a lenovo 4700u laptop. It is 25w cTDP. It scores 1230 in SC and 7010 in MC in CBR23. The M1 definitely beats the higher wattage implementations of 4700u
yup exactly, Those are 8 high performance cores with a GPU that's about as fast as an MX350. I would say all of those def has an edge on the M1.
and the AMD gpu can decode most codecs at full performance rather then being limited to certain apple codecs, thats the kind of stuff people are going to find out the hard way.
