The manufacturing process matters far more than whatever tweaks they make intra-generation. M1 is 5nm, Intel is 7-11nm
- rowanG077 4y agoI agree. But my point was that the industry in broad strokes is not moving into the direction of lower power. The opposite in fact. It's been happening for years.
- GeekyBear 4y ago> M2 is just an overclocked M1 That's not what Anandtech found when they tested the performance and efficiency cores used in the A15 and M2. Performance: >In our extensive testing, we’re elated to see that it was actually mostly an efficiency focus this year, with the new performance cores showcasing adequate performance improvements, while at the same time reducing power consumption, as well as significantly improving energy efficiency. Efficiency: >The efficiency cores have also seen massive gains, this time around with Apple mostly investing them back into performance, with the new cores showcasing +23-28% absolute performance improvements, something that isn’t easily identified by popular benchmarking. This large performance increase further helps the SoC improve energy efficiency, and our initial battery life figures of the new 13 series showcase that the chip has a very large part into the vastly longer longevity of the new devices. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-performance-review-faster-more-efficient/4 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16983/the-apple-a15-soc-perfo...
