Reading this thread, the delusional thinking is thick!
I’m hearing that we need to wait until Intel moves to 5nm to really compare. When that means that the whole PC market cedes the crown to Apple, who is not slowing down. Apple is on its second generation on 5nm and the x86 crowd as yet to show any response!
That it’s only because Apple is on 5nm that they’re competitive. Which is crazy, since we can directly compare slightly older chips made on a 7nm process and Apple comes out way ahead.
That the competitors like Qualcomm are not optimizing for performance. When the reality is much simpler. The benchmarks are this bad from Qualcomm because they’re optimizing for their wallets.
The reality is simple: for a decade, Apple has had the fastest phones, and the fastest tablets. Are you PC guys ready to admit Apple has the fastest computers?
- mhh__ 4y agoYour comment is needlessly argumentative. No one is saying they aren't good chips. Also if it isn't the process it arguably makes it easier for them to catch up because other than the semi-cultural stuff like EDA tooling changing a design is much easier than changing a process. Now they have a real target to hit I expect the gap to close, especially if Intel can convert their IDM concept into a real battle with TSMC
