I do wonder if this will help adoption. Now the low end iphone, high end iphone, ipads (air or pro), mac mini, and everything faster has great single thread perf. The serious desktops (not including mac mini or 13" mbp) and laptops have 2x (200GB/sec), 4x (400GB/sec), or 8x (800GB/sec) memory systems that should help with CPU, AI/ML, and GPU tasks. Seems like a pretty awesome minimum level of performance to encourage developers to make the most of it.
Seems just the opposite of what Intel's doing where you might get a fast core, slow core, AVX2, AVX512, etc on a new product. Doubly so when AVX512 worked on Alder lake chips... till it was disabled by Intel.
I did hear that the m1 pro/max didn't do some GPU benchmarks particularly well, although I'm anxious waiting to hear how the M1 ultra does.
