I mean, for the work I do that’s probably true. My work is 99% CPU/RAM/disk dependent.
GPU obviously not, but maybe that claim would hold water at some arbitrary wattage limit.
My takeaway is that the GPU “doesn’t completely suck” and that Apple are dedicating continuing resources to making their platform actually usable, which I was worried about. I mean, it seems difficult just to intentionally use the Apple Neural Engine, and impossible to explicitly use it, which makes testing aggravating. Any continued focus on improving developer experience for the coprocessors (GPU, ANE, R1, etc) is a good signal.

- reaperman 3y agoYeah I don't think laptops should be sold at all with 512GB -- I think that's as absurd of a product as a laptop with 128GB. Personally I spec out 2TB and judge price value based on that. So the speed issue doesn't affect me personally. I just wish they wouldn't sell that model and then it wouldn't affect anyone.
