Apple silicon has been pretty transformative for desktop/laptop-class chips.
- politelemon 9mo agoIt has been transformative for the insidious kind of lock-in that the post mentions.
- shimman 9mo agoI had CPUs since I've been alive, a faster one means very little to mean when the subsequent software is still trash.
- steve1977 9mo agoTransformative sounds a bit exaggerated. It has a nice power consumption to compute power ratio, but it's not like order of magnitude above the rest. A lot of the Apple Silicon magic is also due vertical integration with the OS IMHO.
