It’s kind of hilarious how the entire conversation about CPU’s have steered towards Apple’s chips. No one talks about or mentions AMD or Intel chips anymore outside of gaming circles…
- grog454 4y agoAre there server circles? I'd guess they talk about intel and AMD more than Apple.
- LeonenTheDK 4y agoDefinitely are, lots of talk of general ARM usage in the server space in those circles, particularly when it comes to AWS' Graviton, or other hardware/cloud offerings.

- diffeomorphism 4y agoBecause it is kinda boring? Just like M2 is much less interesting than M1. Current gen Intel or AMD chips are like 10% to 20% faster than apple (which apple acknowledges in their marketing and hence points at performance per Watt). Intel uses about the same energy at idle but about double at load. AMD has about the same efficiency (work per Watthour) under load but worse idle. And now nothing is happening until the next release. > No one talks about.. Yeah, nobody cares unless something new comes out.
- smoldesu 4y agoGood grief, HN. Downvote me too while you're at it, I wouldn't mind being karma-locked out of this site again for a few more blissful hours.
