AMD should easily beat Apple in graphics, all they have to do is switch to the latest Navi/RDNA2 microarchitecture. They are collaborating with Samsung on bringing Radeon into mobile devices, surely that will translate into efficiency improvements for laptops too.
> ARM’s architecture vs. x86-64
x86 will always need more power spent on instruction decode, sure, but it's not a huge amount.
- alwillis 6y agoAMD should easily beat Apple in graphics… Perhaps you haven't read the Anandtech article? [1] Intel has stagnated itself out of the market, and has lost a major customer today. AMD has shown lots of progress lately, however it’ll be incredibly hard to catch up to Apple’s power efficiency. If Apple’s performance trajectory continues at this pace, the x86 performance crown might never be regained.
