Sure, but isn't that just comparing an obsolete CPU against a state-of-the-art CPU? I can't see attributing that to the ISA.
A scratch, optimized build of Ardour on a Ryzen 9 9950X takes 1m51s.

anyway, the point was about the obsolesence or other of the ISA. It was about the claim that various versions of apple silicon are no good for performance, only for perf-per-watt or some related variance.
