Why ? Comparison on single core bench is at disadvantage of the bigger cpu not the opposite , the m1 would have seemed even better against a 128 core epic of 7k

Why ? Comparison on single core bench is at disadvantage of the bigger cpu not the opposite , the m1 would have seemed even better against a 128 core epic of 7k$..
Wait some weeks and see how it compares to a 5x00u , also consider that apple is 'cheaper' now because are trying to bring more people fast to help transition to arm .. then everyone will be locked in in the ecosystem happy to pay the 30% apple tax for the entire life of the hw
- socialdemocrat 6y agoThat is kind of conspiratorial sounding. Apple has to charge more than a PC maker which spends almost nothing on build, quality, design, developing and maintaining their own OS and software. Charging more in the premium segment is normal in any industry because you a smaller volume to spread fixed costs over.
- fvv 6y agoI was saying the opposite.. apple could charge even more imo but then leave the hardware free like others do , if you solder everything, firmware lock everything , sell upgrades at 5x the price (and compare the price of the baseline to say.. wow it's cheap ) then apply a tax on all software, now when we compare prices we should account for that also
- fvv 6y agoThe entry level is cheap so apple can win some price bench comparison ..also in general I can understand what is marketed like that but I don't have appreciate that btw. why we don't compare the 16gb ram 1tb ssd Mac 2.5kusd against a 700usd 4800u with same spec ? If you are comparing programmers productivity.. or for a better monitor monitor .. ok let's use a 900usd 4800u then.. ok 80% of perf in single core and 140% on multi for less than half the price.. and wait the 5800u and see.. when you compare you have to be fair between the components.. single core bench from 12core 24th vs 4core it's the start of every biased bench
