A year ago, the hypothetical would have been "Intel is using x86_64, so AMD can match them".
The G3 and G4 chips were much faster in their time than comparable Pentiums, as well.
The M1 chip is faster, currently, but it's not invincible.
- rusticpenn 6y agoIts not only about the speed but the power draw at those speeds.
- chungus_khan 6y agoG3 and G4 chips also had a fair lead there at the time. At the time iBooks were getting twice the battery life of most x86 competitors at least.
