What'll be interesting is how the M1 will compare upcoming 4th gen Ryzen laptop parts with RDNA2.
- JoshTko 6y agoThose chips will probably not be out until later this year and will take another couple months to show up in laptops. By then we will see the midrange versions of the M1. In Macbook pros.
- MengerSponge 6y agoI agree wholeheartedly, but a small correction: those chips are available now if you're very very lucky. For example, the latest ROG Zephyrus is available from my neighborhood Best Buy. The M1 has been readily available for months, and we'll probably see Apple's new pro chips by the time AMD's supply chain issues are sorted.
- andy_ppp 6y agoMy bet is Ryzen will be slightly competitive this time around (at maybe double the power usage), but Apple will increase performance by 10-20% per year and eventually AMD will start lagging behind.
- danlugo92 6y agoNot only is your post an example of the Moving goalposts fallacy [0]. Is also an apples to orange comparison. The M1 was being compared to an i7, and that was I was responding to. It will also not "be interesting", since if we part from "M1 does not beat current discrete GPUs" as per grandparent comment, it will obviously not beat an upcoming one, whatever the wattage will be.

- neogodless 6y ago4th generation Ryzen parts are expected to replace their Vega-based integrated GPU with an RDNA2 integrated GPU. That comment was not about discrete GPUs.
