What I've interpreted from the consensus is that Apple's M-series advantage primarily comes from the relatively large memory bandwidth due to it's unified memory architecture.
Of course, it also has a very low performance-per-watt, comparatively speaking.
- FullyFunctional 3y agoThat's WAY-oversimplifying it. There are so many compromises and design choices and not just "One Cool Trick". Generally speaking the M-series traded frequency for IPC by going for wider and much deeper reorder window. This is easier to do with Aarch64 than x86 and generally is more power efficient (but always the devil is in the details). The higher memory bandwidth doesn't do anything for ST perf.
