They’re typically a bit better on high TDP stuff, and a bit worse on low TDP. They mostly match in the middle. I have a $500 AMD NUC and a slightly older $2000 MBP. Inference throughput is within 2x.
The comparison is a little messy: AMD currently maxes out at 128GB of RAM vs Apple’s discontinued 512. Apple has nothing to rival the Steam Deck.
This is what originally made Microsoft the most lucrative tech company of its day.
Android succeeded at this to an extent with phones, but Apple has been able to keep its products differentiated enough in the minds of consumers to maintain their premium pricing. So far.
