Isn't almost every new Apple chip the most powerful chip Apple has ever built?

- epistasis 5y agoThey could have been optimizing for lower power consumption rather than more compute power. For example, the next iPhone chip will likely not be the most powerful when it comes to compute, even if it beats the other iPhone chips.
- WithinReason 5y agoAnd that's exactly why I put the word "almost" in the sentence!
- bee_rider 5y agoMaybe currently, but they are only on their second generation of laptop chips. I guess going forward the current A-series chip will be lower power/performance than any reasonably recent M-series chip (given the power envelope difference).
