Is that not impressive? AMD is proving that they can engineer an x86 CPU that's comparable to ARM on the same silicon. That's kinda crazy, especially once you consider that it's roughly the same power envelope as M1/M2.
If we're only getting more 20-30% spec bumps every 18 months from Apple, it sounds like the race is pretty close.
- Maursault 4y agoI honestly don't see ARM as an advance in performance over Intel/AMD. It's more an advance in efficiency. Intel and AMD can make faster processors, I just don't think their power draw can compete with ARM, and I don't understand why they don't abandon placing such a premium on backwards compatibility. Just who is running 35yo platform-specific software?! They're holding everything up. EOL them. Move on.
