Geekbench is so bad that I -- an alleged Intel fanboy -- actually gave Threadripper credit for "winning" it over the 7960X since Threadripper had a lower score.

Forget about Geekbench. ARM has been knocking on Intel's door for a while now. Once the mobile constraints are lifted ARM is going to be a monster.

Very interesting benchmarks. Thanks for sharing.

The Cavium ThunderX SoC in those benchmarks uses 64-bit ARMv8 cores, manufactured on a 28nm process. The last Apple ARM based SoC that was on the 28nm process was the A7 back in 2013.

The current A10X (10nm) has over 3x the single core performance of the A7. Cavium states that their 2nd gen 16nm X2 product delivers 2-3X higher performance than that of the ThunderX shown in the benchmarks you linked to.

Very interesting indeed. The pace of progress is staggering. This bodes well for ARM in both laptops and on the desktop.

Yeah, keep drinking the koolaid. As for the A10X being "over 3X the single core performance of the A7" it sure doesn't seem to show up in the complaints about iOS performance that have been coming out recently.

But let's make a friendly bet: Since ARM is so magical and great, a 2020 Apple Miracle chip should beat a 2020 Tigerton across the board in single-threaded workloads with a 1GHz clock speed deficit. As for multithread, a 4-core Apple Miracle Chip should be at least as fast as an 8 core Tigerton.

I mean, given your level of delusion, a single-core Apple magic-chip ought to be easily equivalent to an 8-core Skylake X running in multi-threaded operations, so I'm intentionally stacking the odds in Apple's favor here.

You linked to a set of benchmarks that showed an outdated ARM config showing some really interesting results. We already know that ARM performance has moved on by leaps and bounds from the benchmarks you linked to. You laid things bare for the world to see. ARM rocks. You're awesome. Thanks!

To add on to JBI's point from earlier: while there isn't any technical reason I know of for why a chip from ARM couldn't be successful on the desktop there also isn't any reason I can think of for why one would be particularly suited to the desktop. What you're calling "ARM performance" is really just a bunch of engineers who are good at doing their jobs, and they happen to be making ARM chips for whoever needs them instead of x86 chips for AMD or Intel.

From all reports Windows 10 run very well on the Snapdragon 835 (I'm just referring to the OS - not the crappy x86 emulation crap*). The 835 is a previous gen design that does not perform as well as the A11 Bionic SoC in my iPhone X. One does not need to be overly bright to read the tea leaves.


* My beef is with Windows being on ARM in first place (Windows on x64 forever!). On the other-hand, I want Apple to move completely to ARM - Intel begone! If you can't sort that out don't bug me about it (basically the reverse of this(Intel->ARM) minus Boot Camp.

One does also not need to be overly bright to recognize Intel as a manufacturing company that happens to make microprocessors. If they're having trouble making chips at the process sizes required for a modern desktop chip, then you can expect everyone else to have similar problems regardless of the ISA the chip is built on.

I have a hunch that for ARM on the desktop to really shine (at least vs. Intel), you'd need a ton of cores plus workloads that can be heavily parallelized. Maybe Apple could swing that because of how integrated their stack is (and Grand Central Dispatch, to a lesser degree) and how little they care about back compatibility. I bet they could put together a decent Macbook with a big.LITTLE setup.

I just don't get this mentality. There's nothing magical about x86/x86-64 ISA from a performance standpoint. The variable-length instruction encoding can give it a slight edge over architectures with fixed-width instructions since it requires less memory bandwidth to fetch code from DRAM, but that's about it.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Yeah, exactly.

As JBI has said, it's not the ISA.

To extend what you said, it's that they both have untold billions of dollars in budget/resources and excellent & experienced engineers with the ability to poach/recruit the best ones out there.

As an organization, Apple also seems more than capable of making the right choices and not sabotaging themselves with internal bureaucratic chicanery.

So, yes, Apple can definitely make a competitive ARM (whether single or multi-threaded) chip. Maybe even a slightly better one given a few iterations. But the idea that they are just going to blow Intel out of the water because of the "magic of ARM" is insane ( and vice versa with Apple and x86)

There is no such thing.

Performance on par with Intel is the only thing Apple needs to accomplish initially.

There are strong hints that Apple has already achieved this with its mobile ARM variants (i carry examples of that around with me every day).

As I said in another post, Windows 10 on ARM (the native code portion of that product) runs well on a previous gen mobile ARM SoC. The writing is on the wall.

This is where you ignorance derails you: ARM is an instruction set.

It is not a processor.

At this point, the instruction set is almost entirely incidental to the performance of the chip that uses it.

Saying that Apple will make an *APPLE* ARM chip for *APPLE* products means nothing when it comes to ARM generically: It won't make the innumerable pre-existing ARM processors from other vendors that perform poorly magically perform better.

So while it is good for *APPLE* and bad for *INTEL* (who will sell few chips to Apple), it doesn't really mean much of anything for ARM: These chips could be, and in practice basically *are* "Apple" instruction set processors. Apple products are infamously proprietary.

ARM has simply not taken over the datacenter world at all, despite the concern about power usage and how the major vendors who buy literal truckloads of these chips could (and likely already have) ported their entire stack over to it.

That's a huge bellwether for ARM superiority, and despite a lot of hype these last 4 or so years, it has come to naught.

But sure, back to your "hints" and conflation of low-power performance with high-power performance.

To be clear, I can totally believe that apple with ship an ARM-based Macbook air or whatever in 2020. If I were apple, I'd be pushing for it, hard. Those mobile Intel-U processors, despite whatever discount Apple gets, are not cheap. Intel has to be making a fortune: The high/low CPU option literally brackets the absolute top-line consumer desktop one when it comes to price, and they're tiny.

Apple can almost certainly make a competitive ARM chip in that category, and it really only has to be *loosely* competitive when it comes to performance anyway: decent speed/size memory, fast SSD, good to go! These things aren't made for their compute power, after all. Low temps, long life, yay! Meh if occasionally things take 500 ms longer.

Bam! They are saving something like 100-200 dollars per device.

As I said a year ago:

Glorious wrote:
Apple can choose whatever hardware it likes, as it has switched between 3 different architectures in my lifetime and could easily (for the macbook airs or something) switch to a fourth for the low-end. The vast majority of people would literally not even notice.


I was serious. Virtually everyone I know with a macbook air would not even notice. Unless they are in a slap-fight with Apple, Google will have Chrome natively available for it at launch, and all the other software they use is native Apple or interpreted anyway.

It's not ARM at all, it's just Apple.

And it's not Apple knocking on Intel's door, no. It is simply Apple closing *THEIR* door to Intel.

For a product line that is sales-stagnating at best, and for which Apple is ridiculed about being totally disinterested in when it comes to the higher-tiers.

AGAIN: I think a macbook air in 2020 is eminently plausible and it something I would do myself as the CEO of Apple. I explicitly said all that.

I won't even dispute it, I'm going to meta-dispute it: this is a wishy-washy "well what do you think" argument which is precisely *why* your ranting about ARM is hilarious! We're talking about hopes & feelings because direct comparison is made extremely difficult because it's only available in a completely proprietary product.

Which, again, is my point!

Honestly, the Cavium arm setup did better than I expected. It came out in the top half of most of the benchmarks. While it didn't "win" against the high-end x86 chips, it held its own quite respectably.

That said, I don't think any arm platform is ever going to solidly beat Intel/AMD. They have already extracted every ounce of performance the silicon can give, and are simply squeezing harder for a little bit more juice every cycle. Instead of leap-frogging, I predict will simply see a convergence where arm comes up to the same level. Then it will simply be juggling performance-per-watt instead of raw performance.
