Performance per watt continues to increase tho
- Synaesthesia 2y agoFor some time there was stagnation on the performance per watt metric. But ever since Apple dropped the M1 there has been a huge change.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoApple has unlimited money cheat codes. Buy newest/best node, move memory on package, ignore compatibility/longevity.
- bee_rider 2y agoThe companies that don’t buy out the first year-or-whatever of capacity on new nodes should still get the same year-over-year advancement, though. Just, with a small but constant delay.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoMicrosoft had/has the same, yet no results.
- aftbit 2y agoFor a little while before that, CPU performance was stagnant with Intel on top until AMD released Ryzen and Zen, and Intel got stuck on 14nm for half a decade. Suddenly AMD is posting substantial performance improvements every cycle and Intel is cranking up TDP to compete. Now we have competitive x86 processors from two different sources AND competitive ARM processors from two others.
- p1necone 2y agoI wonder how widespread the adoption of steam deck + clones has been amongst benchmark participants (very very good perf per watt, relatively middling absolute performance), that could explain a lot. Not sure where they would end up on the desktop vs laptop categorization.
