I don’t need to google it when I own such a system.

My precision did not ship with ECC ram.

ECC also needs to be supported by the motherboard; all AMD Ryzen chips have ECC enabled but due to limited motherboard support: many are not able to effectively use ECC.

If you have the time could you share the output of `sudo dmidecode —type 17`?

Edit:

That laptop (much heavier and much much more power hungry) still doesn’t beat an M1 at Dells max configuration, it certainly doesn’t beat it 5x over.

For the Xeon W-11955M

1618 Single-Core Score

9266 Multi-Core Score

For the M1 Max

1770 Single-Core Score

12556 Multi-Core Score

you're looking at geekbench scores that do a bunch of GPU-offloaded stuff. and they used the low power integrated graphics, not the NVIDIA RTX in their tests - you have to explicitly select the discreet GPU for a process to use, as it defaults to the low power. so, something that doesn't even look like a mistake of taking the defaults - something that looks like deliberately lying to game the numbers.
