You're discounting x86 architecture too much. AMD's 0504 custom APU made for the Steamdeck is an x86 chip which can run most modern PC games with a 15W TDP. In desktop mode it draws only about 8W in typical usage scenarios (disclaimer: I was unable to isolate the APU power draw in desktop mode, so this is the figure that represents total power draw from the battery, with the screen off). Personally, I'd be hyped to see powerful and energy efficient chips like this one in laptops. It has all the compatibility benefits of the x86 architecture and it's pretty efficient. AMD does offer slightly more powerful chips for laptops, but they have roughly double the power draw, which makes them less desirable for people who are on the go a lot.

@Alice_Fumo 11 күн бұрын

It's not just saving money, shrinking certain parts (like IO) further just didn't scale to the new nodes... With chiplets, they have very small dies and thus the chances of major errors in them is much lower, resulting in way better yield or feasibility to make them to begin with. Meanwhile the huge-ass IO die gets made on a node which is mature enough to reliably make that size of die. Well, I guess it is saving money in the end after all by making the production yield of their chips not prohibitively bad.

Their lower volume, high average selling price and good relations to TSMC made it possible to always be ahead of AMD or Intel in that regard.

This brought innovation back into x86 that was basically stuck for years, and this innovation quickly outrun anything that Apple was trying to do with Apple Silicon. The new intel Core Ultra cpus and Ryzen are now more performant and with better efficiency from x86 than Apple Silicon with ARM64. And the x86 is still a better arquitecture for a lot of things. And now that intel and AMD are back in the fighting ring, x86 will just continue to get better at higher-end performance points

It was great for all of that, particularly brilliant with the Retina Display. The KB was a bit janky, as I was constantly missing characters as I typed them (pretty fast, probably not enuf pressure) but the KB never failed or had HW issues like for many.

Jony Srouji gave a very rare forward looking hint a few months back in an interview, mentioning that with node shrinks slowing down, advanced packaging was the future of advancement. Supply chain research out of Taiwan also said there were higher orders for advanced packaging expected to come from Apple. And then add the last clue where M3 Max didn't have the Ultrafusion bridge to make an Ultra out of 2 of them. I wonder if the M4 line will introduce tiles, allowing different parts to be made on different nodes. Particularly IO and caches haven't been shrinking well and there's benefits to this approach, and also different nodes are better suited to either CPUs or GPUs or low power IO etc.

@maynardburger 14 күн бұрын

The benefits there mainly come down to costs, and I dont think Apple is super concerned with that just yet. They can just raise the price and people will pay it. Plus the base M dies are still quite small(~150mm²) so continuing to more or less just glue dies together with their developed interlinks seems to still be good enough for a while. Though it's possible that perhaps for the Max/Ultra designs, they could start thinking about a more chiplet approach sooner.

Ryzens have only performance cores and so under low load or idle those chips needs to use more power. Its just wonder of BIG.little architecture - power hungry P-Cores are activated and powered only when there is need for more processing power than E-Cores can handle.

if your MBP is running that hot all day long then consider using a Studio or a better spec'd MBP because constant use at that heat is going to impact the lifespan of components of the laptop, and not just the SOC chips themselves, either.

My iMac i3, i5(?) was getting slow and as soon as the M1 Mini was announced I ordered one with 16 GB of RAM. It's still a brilliant little machine. Even ok for basic gaming. Now that we're on the topic of gaming... With Apple trying to get back into that market I'm pretty sure we can still expect some exciting announcements. From a tech point of view I'm curious of course but right now I don't need more power for anything that I'm doing.

Great video. One minor detail as a not-apple-fanatic : Asus Zenbook 14" Oled basically already does everything you asked for. Powerful and economic-when-idle CPU? Check. Powerful GPU? Check. Insane battery life? check. Great formfactor, build quality? Check. Thin and light casing? check. (responding to the end of your video where you comment that the non-apple gaming laptops are stuck at 3.5 hours battery life). There's also other 17" laptops such as LG's gram that have decent 4050 videocards, good CPU's, weigh 1.35kg and are a joy to use (Albeit at the expense of some strength in the chassis).

@mohammadalhusaini1115 14 күн бұрын

I think the correct market economics is what apple is already heading for: A high value ecosystem that we pay for means that we are not pushed to continually upgrade the hardware. this way, apple can continuously make great new hardware but not be to worried about planned obsolescence. iCloud keep us there and happy and ensures that apple doesn't need us to switch once a year. That's why these M1s (which I am typing from) and the subsequent chips are incredible in their own right and last a long time without the need to constantly change.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="208">3:28</a> TSMC N5 is not 5nm. When we go with the ITRS rating, it is only the density of 7nm planar. And because of FinFet and other 3D stacking technologies the actual tranistors are even bigger. As i remember correctly the TSMC N7 transistor gate width is 22nm.

That is unlikely to happen as the rate of improvement in RAM speed matches the rate for UFS speeds. Therefore, RAM is always likely to be much faster. I did some maths, and RAM was about 8X faster than NAND last year.

The real change already happens in the server space with the X3D EPYC SKUs. They have 1 GB of L3 cache. L3 cache is two times faster than RAM and closer to the metal as well, since it's part of the CPU die. With that much cache, an EPYC CPU can just copy all the data to L3 instead of relying on RAM.

At least part of the performance hit you're describing around <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="860">14:20</a> is down to your combination of camera, codec and NLE. I routinely edit 4K and 6K footage from a Lumix GH6 on my M3 Max 16" in Final Cut Pro, and I have never heard the fan during editing. I *have* heard the fan on long Blender renders, so it definitely does happen, but PPro just isn't as well optimized as it could be, and the 14" can't cope with the heat as well either.

That was a fantastic review of the Apple M phenomenon. I am grateful for having been brought up to speed on the tech involved in Apple's recent offerings. I still have a real problem with how fast their machines sunset, OS-wise. In a decade, I burned well over $20K on my Mac PRO and MacBook Pro notebooks. Lack lof upgradability is what forced me into hand-building my own development machines. My Ryzen 9 12-core 128GB-RAM with 10TB of Nvme Gen5 SSD is how I get my work done these days. I also just feel more comfortable running Linux than MacOS. I made the transition off Windows and life is better now.

It's important to note that no manufacturing node process is perfect and this is the reason why processors always have some wiggle room in terms of clock and voltage. Some units can deliver the same power at lower voltages, some need more, some can deliver higher frequencies at lower voltages and so on. The more things you add to your silicon, the more complexity and more potential issues you add to it. Just look at Intel currently. All sorts of CPU issues caused by them flying too close to the Sun and thinking all it takes is to increase the cooling and power requirements.
