Apple M2 vs. AMD Rembrandt vs. Intel Alder Lake Linux Benchmarks
The Apple Silicon performance on Asahi Linux was great for Numpy!
A number of upstream code-bases have yet to be well optimized for AArch64, but with these Apple Silicon devices coming out that make for compelling ARM Linux developer laptops or boxes (Max Mini), with time we'll likely see more open-source software become better optimized for AArch64.
With the Ngspice circuit simulator the results were mixed.
The M1 to M2 generational uplift was very nice for the SecureMark benchmark.
