Apple M4 vs AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX is a high-end workstation processor from AMD for professional users in areas such as 3D rendering and simulations.

The Apple M4 is Apple's latest System-on-a-Chip (SoC), primarily designed for high-end mobile devices that combine high performance with exceptional energy efficiency.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX is based on the Storm Peak (Zen 4) architecture, manufactured in 5 nm, with 96 cores, 192 threads, 96 MB L2 and 384 MB L3 cache, 333 GB/s memory bandwidth, and PCIe 5.0. The Apple M4 is manufactured using the more advanced 3 nm process.

It integrates a CPU with performance and efficiency cores, an Apple M4 (10 Core) graphics unit, 20 MB L2 cache, and 120 GB/s memory bandwidth. The Apple M4 shows significantly higher single-core performance. In multi-core performance, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX significantly surpasses the Apple M4, favored by its massive core count.

Neither is primarily a gaming processor. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX requires a dedicated graphics card for high-end gaming. The Apple M4 offers a strong integrated graphics unit for mobile systems, which, however, cannot keep up with dedicated desktop solutions. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX is designed for maximum computing power, requiring high power consumption and TDP with robust cooling solutions.

The Apple M4 was developed for extreme energy efficiency in mobile devices, with very low power consumption and TDP for long battery life. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX is an extremely expensive, specialized processor whose price is justified by its performance in professional workstation applications.

The Apple M4 is not available separately but is an integral part of Apple devices. Its price-performance ratio is evaluated in the context of the entire integrated system. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX is the choice for workstation tasks with extreme multi-core requirements, extensive memory options, and high I/O capacity.

The Apple M4 is ideal for users seeking leading single-core performance, outstanding energy efficiency, and a strong integrated graphics unit in a mobile or compact system.
