Is there a physical limit on improvements they’ll hit soon? I mean, there’s probably so much they can do considering heat and power requirements. But I’m totally ignorant about CPU architectures.
- mrtesthah 5y agoI think that question applies to transistor/feature size in general. Look to TSMC’s process roadmap.
- UncleOxidant 5y agoNot just on the physical side. I suspect there are still some architectural improvements that we'll see with the M2. They've had more time to characterize various types of workloads and that should feed back into architectural improvements.
- mrtesthah 5y agoI bet there will be architectural improvements, but in the long run, those can only go so far in comparison to process improvements (or even brand new technology like optical or quantum computing, or who knows what else).
- skohan 5y agoIsn't M2 potentially the first 3nm process to be released?
- fulafel 5y agoThe physics limits of a Mac size computer performance involve a black hole density and matter organised to form optimal quantum computing devices. You would need to be a very optimistic Apple fan to expect this in the near future.
