The goal of the A/M series chips isn't to be faster than x86, it's to have a better power/performance tradeoff. Going as fast as possible gets you "gamer laptops", which weren't good products.
Of course they are fast, which is part a nice coincidence, and part Intel falling badly behind TSMC.
- shiroiushi 2y agoFrom what I've read, the Apple M chips aren't faster than the very fastest Intel offerings. But it doesn't matter: what matters is how long your laptop will run on battery doing typical laptop work, and the M chips really put the x86 chips to shame here unfortunately. So agreed, what they're great at is power/performance tradeoff.
