Re:Apple M1 Max Geekbench Score by jeswin on Thursday October 21, 2021 @04:29AM (#28941845)
1. M1 Max has 50+ billion transistors (only a part of that count is CPU, so adjust the number downwards), 1950X (first gen 14-nm Ryzen) has 10 billion.

2. Multicore Cinebench R23 for M1 Max: 14970; Ryzen 1950X: 18780

Geekbench tests in short bursts, not taxing the CPU thermals. Cinebench is the opposite. In short, CPUs do well on some benchmarks and not so well on others.

The Cinebench R23 results for 1950x[1] and M1Max[2], including single and multi-core:

           single     multi
  M1Max:    1562      14970
  1950X:    1035      18780
Remember that the M1 Max has 8 high performance and 2 efficiency cores vs. the 16 cores of the 1950x. Again, this is a pretty convincing victory - 1.5x single core perf in a laptop - this is not a HEDT part.
