AMD announced at CES first week of January. The M1 Pro and M1 Max were introduced in October 2021, the M1 Ultra mid March 2022, and the M2 over last summer, 2022. Apple announced the M2 Pro and M2 Max January 17th. What I expect is for AMD to abandon backwards compatibility, which is a trap and has been holding back their's and Intel's processor designs for, let's see, decades, and design their own ARM chips to actually compete with Apple Silicon rather than embarrassingly announce a chip that barely beats an Apple chip that is nearing EOL.

- Maursault 4y agoWell good for AMD. I certainly didn't intend to rain on their parade. The point I was making was that at this moment, no one competes with Apple. But maybe today they compete with the Apple of October 2021.
