There's a lot of latecomers here seriously out of touch with reality.
Honestly, there was a time yoy jump used to be 100-200%
Since M1 we haven’t yet had even 100% bump total so far
20% yoy on jump is the least you can even think of
M1 and up Its all very good and similar
YoY 100-200%?!? I'm so sorry that you fell out of your awesome universe and ended up in our pedestrian one.
Here in this universe, that's a ridiculous assertion. Aside from M1, it has never happened, AFAIK. Apple's made real gains in every generation, even though M2 was hammered by the delay in N3B and the M3 was now, as we're discovering, an interim effort.
BTW Intel is calling, they'd really like that 20% YoY you're talking about.
finally catches up to 14700k at single core. still a ways to go for multi core
meanwhile I just ran metal benchmark on my hackintosh where 6800 gets 209,762.
so nearly 4x as fast as the fastest apple has still?
If by "catches up" you mean "beats the pants off", sure. I mean, on GB's site, the M3 is a bit ahead of the 14900. We're seeing around 3800 for the M4 and will probably exceed 4000 in the M4 Studio (and possibly 16" MBP Max). Think Intel's going to cross that line in the next two generations? Seems exceedingly unlikely.
As for MC, the M3 Max is ~4-5% lower than the 13900 (which scores better than the 14900?), which has a lot more cores. Expect the M4 Max to crush that too. Now, if you want to make an argument that the Intel high-end chip is a lot more accessible ($$$) than the Max, there you'd have a good point.
GPU... I got nothing, it's a crappy situation for the people who really need that much power. (Edit: Though you may well lose to the M4 Max when it ships. And different workloads will measure up differently.)
I'm usually not a naysayer, but Apple did go very hard against Intel for not producing the improvements they wanted and it does seem like Apple isn't providing much better, though bringing it first party has other advantages surely, and third party benchmarks are probably not very high on the list of priorities for the chip team. That said, a 22.83% improvement YOY for single core performance is not in line with Moore's Law, which is ~41%. The fact that they haven't even doubled performance yet on the M line at all is pretty disappointing.
On GeekBench 6, the oldest A series scores are for A8; between the A8 and the A10, the single core performance increased 76% (~430 -> ~760). A11 is 1100, significantly above double.
See above. Your expectations are wildly unrealistic. And Apple's providing MUCH better than Intel. If you just look at benchmark scores you're forgetting half the equation - power. Apple's perf/power if wildly better than Intel's, and Intel is not catching up. (It's better than AMD's too.)
Also... Moore's law? LOL. Where have you been for the last ten years? Nobody's getting anything like that speedup any more.
Apple's march to dominance with the A series chips was historic and industry-shaking, but eventually they started running into the same limits that everyone else did. They've done better than everyone else, but they're subject to the same physics.
