Seems like apples and oranges to compare a passively cooled iPad to an actively cooled desktop/server. Does the iPad even have a heatsink or does it radiate through the case?
- gumby 6y agoThat’s my point: Apple’s parts are designed for a different design point so the benchmarks, while fun and interesting, don’t really compare like to like. Apple’s ipod designs remind me in spirit of the design of the Alto: focused on the display before anything else.
- spacedcowboy 6y agoGenerally, the more difficult problem is to design the power-sipping, energy-efficient cpu that runs on a battery with passive cooling, than the relative power hog that plugs into the wall and has active cooling.
- gumby 6y agoI work at one layer above that so I’ll take your word for it.
