- d3nj4l 6y agoYes, sorry if that came off as misleading. I'll edit this in elsewhere.
- foldr 6y agoThe 4900HS has a 35W TDP, though. The M1 in the Mac Mini is estimated at around 20-24W TDP.
- ip26 6y agoWe might be able to chalk that level of difference up to process advantage.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe 4900HS has way more I/O and is on 7nm, as well as has more powerful graphics.
- foldr 6y agoI guess we're talking at cross purposes. I was just making the point that the 4900HS isn't really a competitor to the M1 because it's in a different TDP class. It looks like Apple wanted to stick with one chip for their first generation products, but they could presumably at least throw in a few extra cores if they had another 10-15W to play with.
- sudosysgen 6y agoWell no, but then again there is the 4800S at half the TDP that gets close in single core performance and wins in multicore performance, so there pretty much no way they could've beaten it at another power budget. Indeed, it they were to add a few more cores to their M1, then AMD could have also thrown a few more cores in their 4800, and it would have been a wash.
