> I don't think there is anything that's close the the M2 Air on the market atm? I will be "that guy"; the original M1 Macbook Air struggled to compete with the Ryzen 4800u at launch. Current Ryzen mobile chips put up very well against the M2, considering the architecture gap: https://browser.geekbench.com/macs/macbook-air-2022 https://browser.geekbench.com/macs/macbook-air-2022 https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/1604691 https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/1604691 This is the sort of discussion the grandparent comment was lamenting though. Honest-to-god, none of this matters; dev shops will use whatever they need at the end of the day. Infecting the discussion with pedestrian "muh ARM revolution" comments always ruins it though. I like ARM for reading e-books as much as the next guy, but server use is a whole different discussion. Even mentioning Apple's consumer offerings is a punch-line like saying you want to beat OpenAI using consumer-grade GPUs. They exist in the ARM space, but they could not be any less-present in the server one. Their relationship to the topic at-hand is fraught and near non-existent if it weren't for their history of failure with Xserve.
