I don't need that much more space for storage (modern SSDs are teeny, and I don't need physical hard drives anymore for home computing).
Cooling though. Give me a bigass heatsink and a fan.
- dev_tty01 6y agoWhy? So far the reviews I've read have found no evidence of thermal throttling. It is so power efficient it doesn't need a large heat sink to run at peak speed.
- qppo 6y agoIt also hasn't been put to a serious test yet since it's underpowered compared to mid range desktop CPUs I can put into a mini PC case. Benchmarks for things I care about like large compiles haven't really come out yet, so I'm waiting for final judgment.
- dev_tty01 6y agoHalf hour compile of Webkit. Seems like a pretty good test. Faster than an 8 core Intel laptop, much less energy usage. 20% slower than 12 core 48 GB Mac Pro. So, per core performance is better than a desktop with a ton of RAM. https://twitter.com/panzer/status/1328700636926332928 https://twitter.com/panzer/status/1328700636926332928 https://techcrunch.com/2020/11/17/yeah-apples-m1-macbook-pro-is-powerful-but-its-the-battery-life-that-will-blow-you-away/ https://techcrunch.com/2020/11/17/yeah-apples-m1-macbook-pro...
