Equivalence between desktop and mobile chips is largely make-believe anyway given the different thermal and power envelopes.
- waheoo 6y agoIt's about knowing when you buy a "new laptop" in the store that it has current gen chips. The amount of times I find old gen Mac's sold at new gen Mac prices in stores is disturbing.
- soperj 6y agoDidn't most new gen Mac's have old cpus in them anyway? I remember the Air going like 5 years or something without a refresh.
- kllrnohj 6y agoThe difference in thermals and power really just impacts boost clocks. It's not a very significant difference otherwise, at least not in the CPU space and especially not in single-core performance. A max-draw zen3 desktop core is only 20w. You'll see that in these laptops, or near enough to make no difference.
