in thread Perl regex speed

The question is, why isn't the latest Apple Silicon implementation faster than the Intel one on Perl regex?(Assuming it is arm64 and not emulated x86_64.)

    Why would you expect arm64 to be noticeably faster? Have ARM patented some amazing new technology that Intel can't use?

    Dave.

      In particular, the proprietary Apple Silicon arm64 implementation is supposed to be much better. See here.

        While the M1 is a very nice chip and surprisingly competitive for anything that's not x86_64, it's very far from destroying the competition in anything except performance per watt... which is all that picture shows.

        In other words, you paid less for the electricity to run the test on the M1 than you paid to run it on the Intel chip.
