I made the following thought experiment. If we downscale the M1 to a 8b transistor chip and make it use 14nm technology, would it still be faster than an i9 chip? I don't think so.
- tartaglia 6y agoI think so. 3900X has 9.89b transistors and it is still faster than the i9.
- klelatti 6y agoProblem is your thought experiment doesn't work because you've ignored: - The TDP of the M1 and the i9 - How each has utilised die area (e.g how much is devoted to CPU / GPU and accelerators) When we see the version of the M1 for the larger MacBook Pros then the gap will become even bigger.
