AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D vs Apple M4

Last updated:
The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an AMD desktop processor of the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer), optimized for gaming PCs.

The Apple M4 is an Apple System-on-a-Chip (M4 architecture), known for its efficiency in Apple devices.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is manufactured using a 7 nm process, with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 96 MB of L3 cache. The Apple M4 uses a 3 nm process, a hybrid core architecture with 20 MB of L2 cache and 120 GB/s max memory bandwidth. The Apple M4 shows significantly higher single-core performance.

Multi-core performance is mixed; the M4 surpasses the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D in newer benchmarks. Thanks to its 96 MB 3D V-Cache, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is excellently suited for gaming and requires a discrete graphics card. The Apple M4 with integrated Apple M4 (10 Core) graphics offers good performance for moderate games but does not achieve the peak performance of dedicated desktop graphics cards.

As a desktop processor, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D has a higher TDP and power consumption, requiring robust cooling. The Apple M4 is designed for high energy efficiency, with lower power consumption and lower TDP, ideal for fanless systems. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D offers an attractive price/performance ratio for gaming in the desktop segment.

The Apple M4 is an integral part of Apple devices; its performance per watt is outstanding.
