The M1 Max (the highest end chip available in a Mac laptop) is slower than competition from Intel and AMD, though. I'm not sure what its supposed to be 50% faster than, unless you are only comparing it to old Intel Macs.
- chrisseaton 4y agoWhen it came out, the new MacBook Air had better single-core performance than every Intel Mac that ever existed. Not just the Airs - all of them ... on a lower power budget. I'm sure you can get even faster single-core by brute-force burning power, but Apple were trying to do something more intelligent by balancing with power. I think anyone seriously trying to claim they can't see any value in this is clearly just being silly.
- alwillis 4y agoThe M1 Max (the highest end chip available in a Mac laptop) is slower than competition from Intel and AMD, though. Yeah, that’s not true; it doesn’t even make any sense. And certainly not performance per watt.
- KerrAvon 4y agoYou have to cherry-pick pretty brutally to make that statement true.
