Yes. But Apple has the neural accelerators which are a waste of transistors for most workloads, and Intel has a bunch of chips without AVX512.
So that does not fit the GPs claim that the M1 is fast because Apple does vertical integration and others have to support many systems.
- EricE 6y ago"But Apple has the neural accelerators which are a waste of transistors for most workloads" Based on? Many Apple frameworks tie into those accelerators; including frameworks like Metal that one wouldn't necessarily expect. Another strength of Apple - as a programmer your workloads can gain automatic acceleration as frameworks are extended to leverage new hardware. Note this isn't anything new; it's been going on for years already.
