Better performance per watt doesn’t equal better overall performance.

. The charts, in Apple’s recent fashion, were maddeningly labeled with “relative performance” on the Y-axis, and Apple doesn’t tell us what specific tests it runs to arrive at whatever numbers it uses to then calculate “relative performance.”actually faster than an RTX 3090, as much as Apple would like to say it is.

But what the chart doesn’t show is that while the M1 Ultra’s line more or less stops there, the RTX 3090 has aThe VergeAs you can see, the M1 Ultra is an impressive piece of silicon: it handily outpaces a nearly $14,000 Mac Pro or Apple’s most powerful laptop with ease. But it seems that Apple just simply isn’t showing the full performance of the competitor it’s chasing here — its chart for the 3090 ends at about 320W, while Nvidia’s card has a TDP of 350W .

And yes, it is very impressive that Apple is accomplishing so much with so little power. I’m sure Apple’s chart is accurate in showing that at the relative power and performance levels, the M1 Ultra does do slightly better than the RTX 3090 in that specific comparison. But it’s effectively missing the rest of the chart where the 3090’s line shoots way past the M1 Ultra .A very approximate and unscientific rendering of what an actual 3090 vs.

M1 ultra is targeted toward professional computer uses such as video editing etc etc…. An RTX 3090 is mainly targeted at gaming in high resolutions and frame rates with ray tracing.

3090 is old news when 3090Ti is already it’s successor followed by 4090

Same with the CPU benchmarks...just another apple fable...

I don't have my own house i need help please i need same money

So there’s room for more power with the new mac pros.

They cut off the graph that they compared with 3090... 3090 could pump more power but now that people watch that graph they think m1 is equal to 3090... i think it was mkbhd who showed how the actual graph should have been in his video

Its clear that the m1 ultra is more efficient than anything out there but people dont buy desktops for there efficency, they buy them for power usage. So I would take the 3090 any day because of its versitility.

Discrete GPU. 3090 Isn’t a discrete GPU lmao.

What a flawed experiment

On the contrary, I think this comparison is unfair to apple. A 3090 graphics card is almost bigger than a Mac studio...

The audience that Apple is trying to reach aren’t PC gamers anyways. They are targeted at pro content creators, corporate executives (decision makers) and small/medium sized businesses. These machines aren’t for regular consumers. Apple doesn’t care if gamers mock them.

At least they seem to care about the efficiency game.

Yes we know Macs are not for gaming. But the point here is not 'it doesn't matter anyways' but the fact that Apple's charts lack a lot of information and can be misleading.

No worries, Apple braindead diehard fans will certify the M1 Ultra as the best CPU+GPU ever

MKBHD made a great 'real' chart of the RTX 3090 vs Apple M1 Ultra. Apple is emphasing the power consumption efficiency of the chip not its maximum power in the keynote chart.

No one is buying an M1 Ultra for gaming like RTX buyers are

They lied again.

The apple charts parameters is “because yes”

😂
