I see virtually nobody pointing out that apple is consistently using fab nodes that are more advanced than intel/AMD. Rule of the thumb is roughly 15% advantage to distribute between power and performance there. Catching up while remaining on older nodes is no joke.

> using fab nodes that are more advanced than intel/AMD. I am usually the one doing it on HN. But it is still not common knowledge after we went from M1 to M4. And this thread S/N ratio is already 10 times better than most other Apple Silicon discussions. AMD's Max 395+ is N4, or 5nm Class Product. The Apple M4 is N3 or 3nm Class product.
