Wild. It absolutely shits on my 13900K - https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/7692643?baselin...

Same, I have a Ryzen 9 7950X and it has 130-140% better performance (according to Geekbench)

Though a MacBook Pro 16" with M4 Max(that's what achieved this geekbench score), but the same amount of memory (64GB) and the same amount of storage (4TB) as my PC, would cost 6079€. That is roughly twice as much as my whole PC Build did cost, and I'm able to expand Storage and upgrade my CPU and GPU in the future (for way less than buying a new Mac in a few years)

If they release a Studio without increasing prices next year, these specs will cost you 4500€. That's more comparable to your build (sans the upgrade options of course).

Apple’s upgraded are famously expensive, it’s how they get their giant margins. As an Apple enthusiast, yeah it sucks.

Anyway, they made an Ultra version of the M1 and M2 that was even better than the Max versions by having significantly more cores.

If they do that again (Mac Pro?) it will be one hell of a chip.
