- praseodym 2y agoM2 was launched in June 2022 [1] so a little under 2 years ago. Apple is a bit ahead of that 2.6 years, but not by much.

- halgir 2y agoIf they maintain that pace, it will start compounding incredibly quickly. If we round to 2 years vs 2.5 years, after just a decade you're an entire doubling ahead.
- luyu_wu 2y agoNote that performance per watt is 2x higher at both chips peak performance. This is in many ways an unfair comparison for Apple to make.
- faeriechangling 2y agoIt's a shame performance per watt doesn't double every 2.6 years for modems and screens.
- onlyrealcuzzo 2y agoWatts per pixel probably did something close for a long time for screens. Same for Watts per bit. There's just a lot more pixels and bits.
