Haven't heard from Mill in ages. Are they still around?
As for AMD, I’m still a huge fan of their GPUs. But truth be told, even back in 2022, an M1 Max chip was already running circles around my 5955WX for several of my use cases… and it was doing it on a laptop… using battery power… and consuming so little energy that the battery actually lasted for an entire workday. I won't even bother comparing it to the M3 Max.
Meanwhile, my workstation guzzles energy even at idle. Sure, it scored impressive benchmark results at the time, and it’s an awesome CPU for transcoding and running containers, but unless something changes substantially, I’m not dropping another couple of grand to upgrade to yet another x86-64 workstation anytime soon.
If I were gaming on Windows, maybe I’d fork out for a Ryzen X3D. But for laptops, workstations, and mini PCs, I’m planning to go all-in on ARM + RISC-V.
