I don't think the geekebench single core score is all that impressive for Apple M3 Max. It's just matched 13900k which is almost an year old. Sure it has the efficiency advantage but I don't think that's enough especially with Intel's new meteor lake chips on the horizon.
AMD has the best chance to compete with multicore efficiency but their mobile processors only go upto 8 cores. The 16 cores 7945hx is basically a repurposed desktop chip. Again zen 5 is on the horizon and I don't see apple's number to be unbeatable considering the only advantage apple holds now is efficiency.
What is this take. These are laptop chips man. Meteor lake will NOT beat this, there's a reason there's no high end desktop meteor lake part coming.
This is looking comparable to a 13900k that you can put in a thin laptop, have 20+ hours of battery life and barely ever hear the fans. How is that not impressive?
