> hasn't there always been a tradeoff between "fastest single core" vs "lots of cores" (and thus best multicore)? Not in the Apple Silicon line. The M2 Ultra has the same single core performance as the M2 Max and Pro. No benchmarks for the M3 Ultra yet but I'm guessing the same vs M3 Max and Pro.

Okay, good to know. Interesting change then.

  I think the traditional reason for this is that other chips like to use complex scheduling logic to have more logical cores than physical cores. This costs single threaded speed but allows you to run more threads faster.
