No Apple Silicon? Come on cowards, throw a M4 Max in there.

strange results, Phoenix 7840HS (8c zen4) scores above HX370 (4+8 zen5) in most benches?

probably linux scheduler doesn't play well for the zen5 + zen5c ccd mix

Snapdragon X Elite is catching up fast, but Linux optimization still looks half-baked. I think once kernel support gets tighter, it will surprise a lot of people.

Does Apple support Linux installs now?

Does Apple support Linux installs now?

Yes they allow it but there's only one distro for it and it's all reverse-engineered with zero help from Apple so a lot of the hardware doesn't work as expected. It only somewhat works up to M2 only.

johnson is probably expecting the reviewer to compare benchmarks that run natively on MacOS.

I don't know but seems often enough otherwise the reviewer would have gone the extra mile. Or maybe he just hates MacOS in which case, I'll side with him.
