Yeah, as the other person says, it’s weird to combine A-level chips which were mobile only (minus that short stint where they put it in a Mac Mini before the M1 was ready) with the M-level chips.
Sure, they’re all “Apple Silicon” but the chips should be compared to their equivalents, M-level with Intel/AMD and A-level with Snapdragon/Exonys. We don’t really compare Snapdragon to Core any other time, as they both optimize for vastly different things.
I would also argue that Apple is continuing to make big boosts in their A-level chips compared to their mobile counterparts.
- nicoburns 4y agoI thought the M-level and A-level chips are pretty much identical CPU cores (just different numbers of them). As such it seems reasonable to me to compare single-threaded performance between A-level and Intel/AMD (making allowances for power envelopes). And indeed one could compare Snapdragon, except they're quite far behind.
