M3 Ultra consumes the least power compared to x86 desktop processors when running HandBrake

Apple’s fastest in-house silicon, the M3 Ultra, was available to test in the updated Mac Studio, with various media outlets and content creators taking the workstation-class chipset through its paces. One of its biggest strengths is power efficiency, thanks to Apple leveraging the ARM architecture instead of x86, which is still used for desktop processors. This change allows the M3 Ultra to consume less power than every other CPU on the market, with the SoC drawing 55 percent less juice than the least aggressive chip regarding wattage utilization. While running HandBrake, the M3 Ultra tops out at around 77.3W, with […]
