Is Apple accelerate on Mac mini 4 mature enough for numerical simulation?

I know that MATLAB has mature support for Apple accelerate. But how if we only use Python or Julia? Our numerical works are mainly dense linear algebra.

yes. on Mac, using AppleAccelerate is going to speed up your code

So, if using AppleAccelerate.jl, then what is the equivalent Intel CPU level in terms of the linear algebra performance for this Mac mini 4? What about the new Mac Studio with M3 Ultra?

Perhaps it is comparable with Ryzen ai 365?

But it is always difficult to make these comparisons, because it really depends on the benchmark you run. Apple computers have a very high RAM bandwidth, no other CPU beats them in this discipline. On the other hand, if you need a lot of RAM than you are better with AMD64 CPUs.

Thanks a lot, but it seems not available in China …
