Very damming so basically from now on, you can ignore Linus Tech Tips videos as garbage, The slide at 1:30 should of told them, Oh something is not right with our benchmarks. Sheesh
A good summary of my problem with LTT’s “review”.

You conveniently forgot to quote comments with a high number of likes that didn't fit your beliefs.Comments on that youtube video from maxtech seem to go as follows (high-liked comments):
You conveniently skipped the whole discussion here, otherwise you would know why he quoted those and not others.You conveniently forgot to quote comments with a high number of likes that didn't fit your beliefs.
But hey, they have a duty to entertain their audience: you can’t be too positive when it comes to Apple hardware.
They may be the most disliked, but they also have the strongest cult following to balance it outIm not pro apple at all, in fact they're my most disliked tech company but the truth is important, even if its about something we dont like.
Blender (alpha build) shows 5x improvement on the M1 Max, bringing performance to parity with a 95w RTX 3080 Mobile.
When both the MacBook Pro and Razer 15 are unplugged, the M1 Max is over twice as fast.
Do people still believe that the M1 Max’s GPU is equivalent to an RTX 3050?
Edit: it’s just a shame that sites which do proper benchmarks are so one-eyed and have an incentive to cover Apple in the most negative light possible at times. My grievance with the LTT review is that they knew that they were benching apps and use-cases where the software support is clearly lacking. To then turn around and say “M1 Max GPU = RTX 3050” in terms of hardware — without acknowledging software bottlenecks — is disingenuous. But hey, they have a duty to entertain their audience: you can’t be too positive when it comes to Apple hardware.

But that attitude that only the benchmarks that perform best on Apple hardware should be used appears to still be there.
It's still a relatively new CPU, it's fine if sites benchmark applications that haven't been ported and optimized for the M1 yet, because you know there are still people that use those application and will continue to use those applications until there's a optimized version for M1.
Initially, i was quite impressed by the hype and benchmarks shown by Apple. Now the product has been out for a while and after some hands-on and direct comparison to a high end windows laptop, analysis and further testing done by all different kinds of youtubers, and with Intel releasing Alder lake, im not seeing, as per the topic, Apple taking over the PC and console industry on any short or long term. In fact, all they have done is waking up intel and AMD.
It's an impressive chip regardless of the state of applications that people use on a daily basis.
I dont give a shit about their cult (they are in the main cunts, I will grant you that)They may be the most disliked, but they also have the strongest cult following to balance it out
Reasonable benchmark can and should* include things Apple chips have problems with.I dont give a shit about their cult (they are in the main cunts, I will grant you that)
all I care about is reality
and reality ATM is this is the only chip that give bang for silence buck <- this is what its all about (yes its cooled) but for me, chips should nbe rated how they perform uncooled (well 20 degrees airtemp). Set a 'reasonable' benchmark and stick with this

I followed the conversation since the very first post of this thread, but I think that biased posts and reviews don't help the discussion.You conveniently skipped the whole discussion here, otherwise you would know why he quoted those and not others.
And too many pro Apple sites alas often do the same which makes it hard to get good reviews.Edit: it’s just a shame that sites which do proper benchmarks are so one-eyed and have an incentive to cover Apple in the most negative light possible at times.
LTT review was the perfect example of a useless partisan review. It was the very first time I watched an LTT review and I'm not sure I'll waste my time again with them.My grievance with the LTT review is that they knew that they were benching apps and use-cases where the software support is clearly lacking.

World of Warcraft isn't an Apple app as far as I know and it seems to run very well.Thats the performance it gets, in Apple apps/optimized it might come close to a 3080m, but most dont use those apps. In NV optimized apps the 3080m is ahead, by alot. Benches and specific apps will swing it either way one wants. Look, the average user doesnt care why it isn't performing as some made them believe it would, you dont buy a product on the promise of what it might potentionally deliver in the future, you buy a product based on what its delivering today.
