OT: Yesterday, an Apple forum thread [1] complaining about the performance of the current M3 chips vs older generations got to the homepage of HN [2]. It was flagged and killed, I assume because it was somehow misleading. As some who doesn't understand these issues, could some of the knowledgeable fellows here ELI5 why that thread is junk, how current GPU's compare to those from Intel's day, and how important is the M3 GPU for LLM related to tasks. And maybe also - I see that the M3 is lower than M2 in.. "P-cores"? I don't understand what this means? What is the case where the M2 is better than the M3?
