Who comes up with these insane comparisons - Apple? If the author wasn't paid for this he probably should ask Apple for it himself! You're coming from a phone SoC to a full fledged laptop SoC, not to mention the TDP is also vastly different. I'm not even accounting for the fact that in 2016 Intel had the highest IPC for all high end chips! Really poor this, it's like this site is Macrumors lite these days.
A rather SILLY compare of low end to high end chips eh?
Surely not Grapes vs Grapes at all eh?
For AMD, why not the 2016 R5 vs the 2024 'Threadripper' or R9? For Intel, surely there's a 2016 Atom that could be vs their current top-of-the-line i9?
Or if we really want Peaches vs Peaches then:
Apple M1 vs M4 AMD 2016 R9 vs 2024 R9 Intel 2016 i9 vs 2024 i9
Otherwise a rather comical article not worth being published.
Apple's baseline is from a performance hole in the ground of a tablet part (vs desktop parts) as its starting point to slightly better than the competition in a benchmark in which it excels. You didn't even manage to remain internally valid/consistent by comparing iPad Gen7 vs iPad Pro M4, but tablet vs MB Pro 16. 🙄
Might as well use Intel's failed cellular chip (Atom Z3580/3560) as its baseline to see some equally 'impressive' (and equally pointless/inflated cherry-picked) gains over a similar time period.
An alternate headline would be... "Despite over a 1000% increase in Multi-Core GB score, Apple stills trails AMD & intel by wide WIDE margin, despite their relatively lowly 400% and 420% respective gains over the same period "
Equally meaningless, and still par for the course.
From 2016 to 2024, Apple has seemingly outperformed Intel and AMD in terms of total single-core and IPC uplifts according to an observation made by a user on X. Looking at the data, Apple has increased the IPC of their chips by an astounding 129%, a figure that is much larger than Cupertino's x86 competitors.
