Summary

If you compare the Apple M1 with the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, you will immediately notice serious differences.The Apple M1 is based on a big.LITTLE core architecture, whereas the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U is based on a normal architecture with 8 cores of the same size. The Apple M1 also has 8 cores, but these are divided into 2 categories. 4 cores are so-called high-performance cores (big) and the other 4 are power-saving cores (LITTLE).This structure enables the Apple processor to work very efficiently in terms of power consumption. In addition, the Apple M1 uses the ARMv8-A64 instruction set, while the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U uses the x86-64 instruction set. Even if both are 64 bit command rods, there is still a clear difference.The ARM instruction set is by no means supported by all applications, so there are no problems with the x86 instruction set of the AMD processor. Both processors are equipped with internal graphics units, whereby the Apple M1 has the much stronger iGPU here. This clocks at 3.20 gigahertz and achieves an FP32 computing line (single accuracy) of 2600 GigaFLOPS.The AMD Radeon 7 Graphics (Renoir) is built into the AMD Ryzen 7 4700U. This clocks at 1.60 gigahertz and, with its 7 execution units and 448 shaders, achieves an FP32 computing line (single precision) of 1433 GigaFLOPS. In terms of RAM, both processors support modules of the type LPDDR4X-4266.The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U also supports modules of the DDR4-3200 type and modules with automatic error correction (ECC main memory). In addition, only a maximum of 16 gigabytes of RAM can be operated with the Apple M1. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700U supports twice the size with up to 32 gigabytes.
