  • Apple's claims about M1 Mac speed 'shocking,' but 'extremely plausible'

    Comparing mobile chips to the likes of 10900K...that is extremely laughable.
    Yes, laughable...


    We got desktop computers (with hefty cooling solutions) running at 80C+ during CPU/GPU intensive tasks, but we’re supposed to believe iPhones/iPads/Mac Laptops are able to run the same programs without undergoing a full meltdown. Yeah, okay. I love my Apple devices, but don’t get ahead of yourself there, buddy.
    That's why AnandTech is a respected web publication that does deep dives into processors and you're just a guy on the internet with absolutely nothing but irrational hate to back up your claims.

    You know that you can go to AnandTech's website to see why the Apple A13 scored a 63.3 on the SPECiint2006 test, right? Of course, that takes a little effort on your part so I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.
    I build my own systems, I benchmark my own systems, and I run real world tests on those systems. I have enough years of experience to back up my claims. All you’re doing is employing your appeal to authority fallacy and nothing else.
    And you think that your one-man-show approach is better than Anandtech with an entire STAFF of professionals and a full LAB of testing gear?

    My GOD your arrogance and stupidity just showcased themselves with a damned spotlight! What a freaking idiot...

    The village idiot complains about "appeal to authority", then turns around and does the same thing by talking about how they build their own systems to add credibility to their lies.

    Andrei from Anand is an actual chip designer who worked for Imagination at one point. Ian has a doctorate in Computational Chemistry from Oxford. Curious what your background relating to processor design is.
    Don’t gotta have a doctorate to know what’s right there in front of me. But you call me the idiot... funny.

    Come back to me with those precious little snarky responses when Apple and their Intel killer SOCs actually kill intel and replace all these high end work stations with iPads and MacBooks.
    Sooo right!  And what’s right in front of you is a very well researched and documented comparison between a hand held processor family and a series of desktop chips.  Now obviously a man of your experience and intellect can work out that right? ::hurrah::

    And yet you come here, to a Mac specific forum, to challenge others to “come back to you” (funny!) when we meet the conditions of a straw-man argument you just propped up.  ::sigh::

    please go troll somewhere else.

  • How Apple Silicon Macs can supercharge computing in the 2020s

    Wow did I screw up!  Completely misread the selections at the Apple store, so I skipped over the 13” Pro entirely.

    Please Disregard.  =)

  • How Apple Silicon Macs can supercharge computing in the 2020s

    I’ll put money on Apple taking the switch to ASi to rationalize the price model.  Right now there is a $1,300 price gap between MacBook Air and the next nearest Mac laptop.  I expect the Air to keep that sub 1000 price point but a new MacBook to slot in around 1500.  Perhaps an Air + with twice the battery life, or perhaps a rugged MacBook with rubberized surface and water tight body, maybe just a 16” Air.  

    What I don’t expect is a sub $900 MacBook.  I expect Apple to continue push its iPad up against Chrome laptops.  They will never chase such small margins.  Period.

    I set DDG as my default search engine a long time ago, but I still prefer the Safari browser.

    I’m sorry, do people even pretend to listen to this guy anymore?
