> The CPU now features six “super cores,” which is Apple’s term for its highest-performance cores, alongside 12 all-new performance cores.
Before:
"We have 6 performance cores and 12 efficiency cores"
After:
"We have 6 super cores and 12 performance cores"
"Wow, how did you achieve this?"
"We changed the names."
