One of the big reasons the M1 is so fast is its RAM is on-die. Latency and throughput to memory are dramatically better and you don't have to drive those long traces, saving power as well. Servers need to scale to memory sizes in the terabyte range. Apple will need a new design that uses conventional memory before they can go after the big workstation market, let alone server.
- floatboth 5y agoIt's not on die arghhhh why does this misinformation keep happening. It's on package. It's two separate LPDDR4X chips. Latency is not dramatically better. Other current LPDDR4X laptops run the same clock speeds off package. Maybe Apple has more aggressive timings than them, but the difference would be tiny.
