I'm always concerned by what heat can do to such a confined hardware, no matter how well you dissipate it. Especially when replacing a failing piece is mostly impossible.
No benchmark can really reflect what your preferred application needs. Sorry for stating the obvious :) I don't dismiss benchmarks, but always use them with a great care (for instance, I don't care at all about CPU/GPU benchmarks that measure FPS with a 5090 GPU at 1920x1080, this is utterly...
Now put the Arm chip in your desktop and vice versa. This reminds me of people who were saying the Apple CPUs were only good for smartphones. Apples, oranges.
That said I don't really understand the issue discussed here. Do people really run demanding games on laptops? Do desktop replacement...
Most likely because they are skipping M4 Ultra to go directly to M5 Ultra.
EDIT: I mean these things need time to get right. So I guess they started M3 Ultra long ago and at some point decided to skip M4 Ultra.
IIRC (and no I don't want to waste my time looking at anything related to this stupid benchmark), the global score aggregates CPU, GPU and system stuff. I already think that global scores are dumb, but they moved the stupidity to another level by accumulating oranges, apples and bananas.
SIMD code in general is not FP-only.
Modern compilers can vectorize code and benefit from wider units with little extra work. The problem is that thanks to segmentation, Intel made sure that AVX2 and even worse AVX-512 was not available for all their CPUs which leads to the very true last part...
I don't do any physical stuff, not even synthesis, and RTL simulation only once every other year. But I used to work in a company that was later acquired by Ansys and still have one close friend there.
This reminds me Jez San had offered me a job to work on GNU compiler last century. I finally...
Intel also does a lot of work and loses to AMD in many benchmarks, and that's only of x86 vs x86. Do you really think Intel engineers are incompetent? No one knows for sure how K12 Arm would have behaved.
