> but in raw multi-core CPU power it simply does not beat a 3900x
I agree.
> if you want to pick one set of benchmark tests so that you can conclude that the 3900X from two years ago is not better than an M1
The thread was clearly about M1 vs mobile phone SoCs. I just gave some benchmarks to show that the M1 is not a mobile phone SoC but can instead compete with very decent laptop/desktop CPUs. The 3900X wasn't the main point. I even own a 5950X myself.
> you do you.
In all fairness: I shouldn't have used that phrasing.
