The interesting thing here is how little difference DRAM access speed makes.

AMD is probably getting 70GB/s while the M1's on chiplet DRAM is 3 to 6x the speed.

How little difference it makes… to GeekBench’s CPU speed test. They’re not testing memory speed. Not that interesting, no.

That'll depend on the usecase and benchmark. The M1 does really unreasonably well on SPECfp, for instance, which is heavily memory bandwidth dependent.
