Well if you don't need the high performance, then I'd expect people will go for a cheap CPU, meaning no M1 Ultra.

- pclmulqdq 4y agoML training isn't the only application of high performance computing. Apple is making video editing machines - which is why they have the mix of cores that they do. Simulations are also high-performance computing applications.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4y ago> Apple is making video editing machines - which is why they have the mix of cores that they do. Nope. They have that mix because they've decided to prioritize power consumption reduction (I suspect because they sell way, way more laptops that desktops/servers). It's actually a PITA for developers (you have to ensure that your compute-heavy threads are always on the performance cores), and conceptually confusing for users if they ever have to confront it. For pure performance, with no concern for power consumption, there are faster solutions.
