oh some people do not change
Does every pro need crazy high end video editing graphics Vm etc. Like come on. High end pros are not the only ones. There are freelancers, business professionals, writers, small time video editors or producers and need I go on. It’s not that hard to understand
People were comparing the M1 to desktop chips last week when geekbench results started to leak. It’s clear now that the M1 can’t hang with desktop processors and Apple has a LONG way to go to be the market leader in performance.
I feel like we're a little premature here considering their low end chips are already cleaning up the mid to high range of the competition.
Probably something with eight performance cores and four low power. There were a lot of rumors initially about a 12 core but hey a 16 core 12/4 why not 😍This is pure speculation on my part, but I think Apple is going to add a second M1 chip to the 16" MBP and iMac (and possibly the higher end 13"). I could see them adding even more (4x chips???) to the iMac Pro/Mac Pro.
It just makes so much sense I almost can't see them not doing it. Then again, they could just crank up the clock speed a little and call it good
- Would give it the extra performance needed to differentiate it from the low end
- They appear to have the thermal envelope for it, at least on the 16". Could probably make room for it on 13" if needed by sacrificing some of the already super-great battery life.
- Should enable better GPU performance, meaning support for 2x more external displays
- Would enable >16GB of ram, probably
- Means they don't need to develop yet another chip for these products
- Would explain the delay

Comparing the M1 to desktop CPUs makes no sense. The proper benchmark is the Tiger Lake (especially once the 8-core version comes out) and comparable AMD Ryzen laptop CPUs.
Juli, again, there is no “2020 16-inch MacBook Pro”. This clarification is important given recent speculation that there may be such an official release. For now, there is only a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro.
Comparatively, a 2020 16-inch MacBook Pro with 2.3GHz Core i9 chip earned a multi-core score of 8818, according to a MacRumors reader who benchmarked his machine with the new R23 update that came out last week.
Do you know how much an M1 costs Apple to produce? Or what current margins on the 16" are?
Because everyone else is on an Intel build or is Big Sur universal in which case, as you were.
Your trolling, comparing laptop chips with desktop chips. And again FOUR PERFORMANCE CORES and FOUR LOW POWER cores. I'm sure that will be different for desktop chips.
