Because of PC gaming crowd - marketing of the bigger plays to them - nobody cares or understand IPC or power efficiency.
Apple had it easier with the switch to ARM - they use vague metrics like over 2 times faster without actually getting into benchmarking or technical details like the PC crowd does.
- hu3 3y agoApple's crowd is more tolerant to BS too. See Apple still comparing M3 to M1 instead of comparing M3 to M2. They will tell you "It's because M1 users are the most probable to upgrade" but nothing says Apple couldn't have compared to the M2 also. That's the amount of copium one has to inhale when stuck to the whims of a single vendor.
- nozzlegear 3y ago> Apple's crowd is more tolerant to BS too. > That's the amount of copium one has to inhale when stuck to the whims of a single vendor. These are such weird things to add here. Your comment was a perfectly good criticism of the way Apple markets their M1/2/3 CPUs, but then you added that extra nonsense and just came off as someone who spent way too much time in a PC gaming culture war on Reddit that the rest of us don't really care about.
- hu3 3y agoPlease refrain from ad-hominem attacks as per HN guidelines. As for Apple consumers being more susceptible to being deceived, it seems we'll have to agree to disagree on our opinions. At least I provided an example. Your comment adds nothing.
