Summary benchmark resultsAs a percentage of the maximum value based on a sample from the entire base of all processors
Processor Benchmark
| M1 Max | 60% |
Ryzen 7 6800U | 57% |
This parameter shows the performance of the processors in single-threaded and multi-threaded mode. In this comparison, M1 Max is 5% better than Ryzen 7 6800U. The data source is several popular tests. Detailed information can be found below.
Gaming performance
Summary result of all game benchmarks.| M1 Max | 57% |
Ryzen 7 6800U | 54% |
For the maximum in this test, the results of the most powerful processor in the site database are taken. And of course, this is a server processor, on which no one will play games. Because this processor costs several tens of thousands of dollars. And if it seems to you that the selected CPU has a little game result, look at the FPS that it produces in real games in the summary table below.
List of less popular games in which CPU comparisons were performed: League of Legends (LOL), Metro Exodus, Control, NBA 2K20, Horizon Zero Dawn, Monster Hunter World, Battlefield V, DOTA 2A, Ghostrunner, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Hitman 3, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 4, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS GO), Half-Life: Alyx.
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite | 101.3 | 96.5 | | Valorant | 115.1 | 109.7 | | Cyberpunk 2077 | 64.5 | 61.4 | | Apex Legends | 108.2 | 103.1 | | Call of Duty Warzone | 86.3 | 82.3 | | Overwatch | 93.2 | 88.9 | | Red Dead Redemption 2 | 79.4 | 75.7 | | DOOM Eternal | 57.6 | 54.9 | | Warzone | 89.8 | 85.6 | | Assassin's Creed | 96.7 | 92.2 | | Valheim | 95.5 | 91.1 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the computer (RAM size and Video Card) and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Cinebench, GeekBench and Passmark becnmarks.
The computers participating in the comparing not only were the equipped with different video cards and different amounts of RAM. But users also tested them at different screen resolutions: FullHD, 2K or 4K. Therefore, the game benchmark data is approximate. But all video cards met the average system requirements of games. You will get more accurate information about how powerful the processor will be in games, if you get acquainted with the benchmarks that are made with the same video card that is installed in your computer.
Power consumption
| M1 Max | 332% |
Ryzen 7 6800U | 178% |
To make a finishing choice on which processor is better, you should also consider the generation of its core. The newer the processor generation, the better its performance in games and benchmarks, as well as its energy efficiency. In this case the M1 Max is more energy efficient than the Ryzen 7 6800U as it consumes less power: 18W vs. 28W. Power consumption is particularly important for laptops. And TDP should be taken into account when choosing a processor cooling system. You need to buy a cooler that has the TDP data specified in the specification was greater than the TDP of the compared processor.
Software benchmarksLet's say you plan to use the processor not only for gaming, but also for video rendering or video editing, machine learning, streaming, programming, then first of all you need to pay attention to the performance in multi-threaded mode. In this mode, the processor turns on all cores and threads that it has to the maximum to achieve maximum performance. You will find out this data from the benchmark tables below. Before using the data from these tests, be sure to find out whether the software that you are going to use on your computer can work in multi-threaded mode. Since there are still many programs that can use only one core to work, and all the benefit of multi-core mode turns out to be unnecessary.

Comparison of specifications
In the specification comparison table, the most useful will be the release date of the processor and the possibility of overclocking it. The newer the processor, the longer it will last you. And the easier it will be to upgrade the system in the future. The same can be said about overclocking. If the processor can be overclocked, thereby increasing its performance, then it will continue to maintain maximum FPS in the newest games. Accordingly, you do not need to buy a new CPU to enjoy the games any longer. The savings are obvious!

In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here M1 Max is 15% better than Ryzen 7 6800U in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that M1 Max has 2 more core than Ryzen 7 6800U. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption (relevant for laptops).
Result:
The number of parameters for which Apple M1 Max is better: 27
The number of parameters for which AMD Ryzen 7 6800U is better: 9
Although it should be understood that all the data in the article above do not mean that taking them into account you should fully trust a simple comparison of these figures. Better to watch benchmarks video and read the opinion of real owners of Apple M1 Max and AMD Ryzen 7 6800U before making a selection which CPU to buy for gaming and which not.
