The m1 is built specifically to sip power and run cool. You don't think apple could come up with an arm processor that can keep up or exceed desktop x86 when those constraints are removed?
- artiscode 6y agoI'm not an expert, but isn't power efficiency the selling point of ARM? As in it runs efficiently, but there are diminishing returns to running it faster?
- cultofmetatron 6y agothe power efficiency is a consequence of simpler circuitry. modern x86 chips devotes a fairly large amount of logic to translating the exposed cisc interface to an internal microcode that more resembles a risc system anyway. A risc chip doesn't need that.
