苹果M5 Max性能如何?
半导体行业观察· 2026-03-08 04:06
苹果的桌面和笔记本处理器在单线程工作负载上一直处于领先地位,因为行业领先的单线程性能长期 以来都是该公司的重点。不过,苹果的 M5 Max 处理器不仅在单线程任务中大幅领先竞争对手,而 且在 Geekbench 6 基准测试的多线程工作负载中也击败了所有对手——包括 96 核的 AMD Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX。然而,在 GPU 计算性能方面,M5 Max 的表现就没有那么理想了。 单线程和多线程冠军 根据最近的 Geekbench 6 测试结果,苹果的 18 核 M5 Max 不仅在单线程(4,353 分)和多线程任 务(29,644 分)中击败了其直接前代——16 核的 M4 Max,还超过了原本被认为是苹果多线程性能 最强机器的 32 核 M3 Ultra。 此外,苹果的新旗舰 CPU 在 Geekbench 6 的单线程(这并不令人意外)和多线程测试中也击败了 AMD 的 96 核 Ryzen Threadripper Pro 9995WX。需要注意的是,虽然大多数 Threadripper Pro 9995WX 在多线程测试中的 Geekbench 6 得分大约为 ...

美国芯片,被卡脖子了

公众号记得加星标⭐️,第一时间看推送不会错过。 最近,美国两家公司因钇(Yttrium)与钪(Scandium)库存耗尽而拒绝订单的消息不胫而走,这不 仅是一个原材料短缺的信号,更是全球半导体产业从"软硬博弈"转向"物理资源博弈"的转折点。钇和 钪都不属于大宗金属,也不直接构成晶体管沟道或互连层。但它们却深嵌在两个对美国半导体至关重 要的环节:钇主要在先进制造设备的可靠性与洁净度,钪则是高端射频滤波器的性能天花板。 中国海关数据显示,在自 2025年4月4日之后 的八个月里,仅有17吨钇产品出口到美国,而此前八个 月的出口量为 333 吨。由于供应受限,钇的价格大幅飙升。根据路透社的报道,自去年11月以来, 钇的价格已飙升60%,目前约为去年同期的69倍。 首先来看下 钇 ,钇在半导体制造中的核心应用并非直接作为电路材料,而是 作为生产环境的保护者 。 在先进制程的生产过程中,干法刻蚀腔体内长期存在高能等离子体与强腐蚀气体体系,腔体材料一旦 被腐蚀或剥落,会转化为颗粒与金属污染,直接反噬良率与稳定性。因此,氧化钇(Y2O3)以及钇 系涂层在行业里常被用于刻蚀腔体的"防护层"——包括腔体内衬、工艺套件、甚至与晶 ...
