The point is, it's getting there, and probably is faster than eg a 3060.
Putting CPU, RAM, and GPU all on a single chip, or a multi-chip integrated package clearly has massive advantages.
I think this is another signal that the the era of of the modular computer is over, unfortunately (I love modularity, standards, diy tinkering, etc)
- beebeepka 5y agoThis is hardly a surprise. Look at what consoles can do with a much, much smaller and cheaper AMD SoC
- caycep 5y agoI'm of mixed minds...my PC is useful for certain things. But my Apple laptops w/ iGPU's did not require as much hardware debugging, sketchy firmware downloads/updates, less fans to clean, large PSUs that blew and had to be replaced etc...
- jacknews 5y agoI agree, my patience also wears thin getting 'standard' parts to work together when they don't want to. On the other hand, how far can you trust proprietary all-in-one solutions? At least with the modular stuff you have some control over the system, and a choice in selecting a preferred configuration - the all-in-one is a black box.
- caycep 5y agopresumably, a lot of technical info has been coming out of Apple (and hopefully like minded companies) re vetting of chips, mobo, OS-built security, T2 chip encryption etc. Vs. the modular stuff - I'd be more confident if security was part of the norm, but I don't get the feeling it's a priority on the like of a lot of 3rd party vendors like Asus or Gigabyte etc.
