"the most advanced chips for a personal computer", says Apple. This is not an objective statement.
- Detrytus 3y agoName the more advanced chip then... Intel and AMD fall short.
- NoPicklez 3y agoLike another commenter said, what is the definition of "Advanced" in this context
- bmitc 3y agoWouldn't make more sense for Apple to define and backup what they mean as the most advanced? Also, Apple's products never hold up to the specs they quote in their marketing material any way. I'm not sure why you are taking their own post as fact, when Apple is one of the most blatant over marketing companies around. And even if it was true, it doesn't matter because Apple is obsessed with placing their chips in the most thermally constrained form factors as possible.
- aurareturn 3y agoApple routinely sandbags their performance in marketing slides. The actual performance is usually 1-2% better actually. Probably because they're the most visible company in the world and don't want to get sued. AMD/Intel meanwhile will cherry pick benchmarks and way overpromise.
- Toutouxc 3y ago> Apple's products never hold up to the specs they quote in their marketing material any way For example?
- postalrat 3y agoWhat's the budget?
- etchalon 3y agoWhat is the objective definition of "advanced"?
- Retr0id 3y agoThere isn't one, that's the point.
- BirAdam 3y agoWell, if you consider the entire package rather than CPU alone, I can see it. Still a misleading claim, but if stretch the definitions of “advanced” and “chip” you can do it.
