We can better compare what are the technical differences between the two processors.
Suggested PSU: We assume that we have an ATX computer case, a high end graphics card, 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD, a 1TB HDD hard drive, a Blu-Ray drive. We will have to rely on a more powerful power supply if we want to have several graphics cards, several monitors, more memory, etc.
Price: For technical reasons, we cannot currently display a price less than 24 hours, or a real-time price. This is why we prefer for the moment not to show a price. You should refer to the respective online stores for the latest price, as well as availability.
The processor Apple M1 has a larger number of cores, the maximum frequency of AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is greater, that the thermal dissipation power of Apple M1 is less. The Apple M1 was started more recently.
