The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT is 95 W TDP. The really mind boggling part is that Apple has achieved the performance of the M1 in 5 W TDP for its low power cores and under 15 W TDP for its high power cores.
The only downside is that it seems that M1 might have limited channels for bandwidth. No M1 device has more than 16gb of RAM nor does it have more than 2 thunderbolt 4 usb-c ports. The mini also lost the gigabit Ethernet. It’s fast and efficient but there’s a reason it’s not in the pro devices. Notice the 13” MacBook Pro doesn’t have a 4 port M1 option.
This is what I am waiting to see as well officially. I have seen a couple of posts that say the GPU performance is akin to an RX 560. I mean the bar was pretty low in what Apple was comparing the Mac Mini GPU to given the Intel UHD Graphics 630 was rubbish already so them saying 6x faster graphics is not exactly earth shattering, ditto the Intel Iris Plus Graphics of the Air and Pro 13”
if you are using older software, you are pretty much stuck, considering that autocad is available for ipad and Mac, I see no reason why Autodesk would not create an M1 optimized version, what I would love to see is Revit for the M1, it's such a dog on windows.
Yes, you’re right, but it does get them all the folks who design the underlying technology itself.
Chesss ikr 😼
what you got ? Bc I ordered the 8cpu and 8gpu 16 gm ram and 512 gb stoarge mba
The GPU results are pretty impressive for a integrated GPU.
It's the PC gaming world, and he's the leader. I have a lot of disdain for it that I won't get into here.
I would like to add, even RAM speed had no noticeable effect on Geekbench scores last I checked. Maybe the test hardly uses the RAM or even keeps it all in CPU caches? Not sure. "CPU benchmark" can mean a lot of things.
There are also sponsors that push how those influencers review. PC Gaming is also in decline hardware-wise but... eh.
Doing what exactly? Maybe so, probably. iOS is optimized differently than macOS and those chips are similar, however, the MacBook Air has a higher wattage for performance.
I am a graduate student in epidemiology, so statistical work, emails, FaceTime,etc...I know it’s hard to compare the two as one uses iPadOS and the other one uses macOS but I wanted to compare them , As I use the iPad for school as well, and it seems as though the MacBook Air would be a more powerful device in general?
Yeah, wait, the iPad doesn't even have the same processor. So he's complaining that the CPU is designed too similarly. Very silly.
Yes his business is "sell PC thing-ys via youtube ads for gamerzz to buy." He's not going to get much for Apple products. He'll do so to nudge people to his sponsors. It's his job basically.
Yes it did. My mistake. I still believe there is a limit on throughput. But that’s just speculation on my part.
You've got me thinking, and you are right that the fast exponential growth of RAM doesn't exist anymore, I hadn't actually noticed that. It has slowed to a more slower exponential growth. In 2012 I bought a new MBP w a baseline 4GB RAM with upgrade option of 8GB, but cheaper laptops had 2GB, so 2/4/8GB. In 2015, Apple laptop options were 4/8/16GB, and now they are 8/16/32/64. In another 5 years they could possibly be 16/32/etc, but hey, maybe the baseline will still be 8GB. And you are quite right that over the life of a laptop now, the RAM it comes with is probably sufficient, good point. I guess this is due to the growth rate of data sizes, and RAM actually finally catching up to the needs of that data. Text data is static. Images have grown, but RAM has caught up. Video is growing still, as we see HD, 4K, 8K etc, but it isn't doubling every two years. Software size is growing slowly, but RAM has caught up. Fair point.
