M1 is arm, whilst Intel and amd aren't. Perhaps there'll be general laptops with arm chips that won't have fans.

- threeseed 5y agoThere is nothing inherently special about ARM that makes it use less power. Apple simply invested a huge amount of resources and had the benefit of optimising the SOC specifically for the OS.
- fmajid 5y agoWhich is why Intel is an also-ran in mobile computing and IoT despite all the ressources it poured into it, I suppose? The sheer amount of legacy in x86 is why those CPUs are so inefficient and require so much cooling. ARM would not have emerged if not for its superior efficiency.
