I heard from a a hardware developer that the main wins for the M* architecture is really that they integrated the memory onto the cpu die and then the unified memory architecture between the GPU and CPU which was "holy grail" type stuff a decade ago.
I don't think we're going to see the performance increases past the ~10-20% each fab cycle now.
Performance per watt and having dedicated HW for video decoding / other tasks(AI?) I think might end up being the answer to the continuation of Moore's law. Especially considering that we are in the era of heterogenous computing.
- tubs 3y agoThe memory is not on the die. It's in the package just like pretty much every other big boy mobile ap out there.
