Upscaled should be its own channel, it's so head and shoulders above anything else on here.

Just wanted to take a moment to say how grateful I am for your incredible in-depth videos on tech.

Upscaled carrying Engadget on its back.

Halfway through this I realized this was Engadget. No exaggeration this is the best thing I've seen from Engadget ever. Wow

in a single video i got all my answers to the questions I was looking for in various quora answers and reviews

This man taught me with his words and gave me a panic attack with his delivery.

That buff vs buffer was absolutely hilarious 😂

RISC V designers are like “You call that RISC?” to Arm chips.

This guy is so serious, enthusiastic - makes one of the most boring tech topics interesting! Thank you!

03:19 this article is total BS. The reason single-core performance is important is that some tasks are just not parallelizable. When people say "single-core performance", they mean single logical core / single-thread performance. When you have a program that does not utilize multiple threads, it does not matter how many logical cores you got - you only use one, so SMT does not help here.

Seriously this is so good, accessible yet rigorous, please keep up! Love it.

More upscaled. PS - Take your time, thank you so much for such detailed video. 😊

Please, please lay off the insane compression on the dialogue track.

Upscaled is like a whole damn course in current electronics

Single-core (i.e. single-thread) performance tests aim to evaluate the ability of the CPU to run a sequence of instructions with data dependencies between them, branch prediction / recovery from misprediction; they test the effectiveness and efficiency of decoders, pipelining, Out-of-Order execution, not just pure computations. Apple's M1 has 8 decoders, but that does not magically help with resolving dependencies in the instruction pipeline, OoO execution, etc. On the contrary, there are more instructions that need to be reordered for best utilization of the pipeline; more instructions will be scrapped in case of branch misprediction, etc. On x86/64 CPUs there are only 4 decoders per thread as instructions complexity does not allow for more without making the silicon way too complex (according to Intel and AMD engineers). So, to work around this limitation, they've introduced hyper-threading and added 4 more instruction decoders. But, they cannot feed all 8 decoders from a single thread, they must process two threads. While that seems to level the playing field, it does not. Instructions from different threads are inherently independent, so the amount of analysis, reordering and planning that the CPU has to do is reduced. In the multi-threaded tests the advantages of hyper-threading are clearly visible and that's fine, that's how it should be. But changing the testing methodology just to push M1 down is utter garbage and has absolutely no merit.

You are a very very good technical communicator who can digest and present technical topics in a very unbiased and clear way. Keep continuing your work!

About the Cinebench benchmark, Intel 8 core 16 threads, or course it wins because realistically M1 has a little big config. Yes it is 8 core but only 4 of its cores CPU are high performance based cores, and 4 low power cores. That said this is crazy impressive what it has been able to achieve with what its got.

Upscaled is awesome it's like no other KZfaq channels out there in explanation. This guy is excellent in explaining things. And special mention to video editors of Upscaled at Engadget, did excellent job. They nearly brought the half of apple wwdc and put them at correct places, that helped in understanding the concept that this cool guy tries to deliver for us. It's a combined effort. Well done. I'm seeing ur channel is going to get popular soon. LoL it's already famous!

Adding my voice to the calls for Upscaled to be it’s own channel - let’s keep building momentum!

Very well explained, animated and really easy to follow. Good job mate.

Sooo much love for this series. It really makes some techie deep dive information really accessible to the enthusiast.

This guy is awesome... as a physics person myself, he talks about it technically enough not to bore me to sleep as most channels tend to. Please keep them coming. Again AMSL episode was amazing.

Great video man, good work! I really appreciate that you put all this effort to bring us a video this much rich with details!

I wish they made longer productions like this.

Great color grading throughout the episode! This series is the BEST! Keep them coming!!!

This is the kind of tech videos I’ve been waiting for. In depth but greatly easily explained

First time watching the show. I’m impressed by the production quality plus the detailed technical content in a digestible format. I’m a fan.

this guy has quickly become my favorite from Engadget. keep it up my dude!

Complex things, but the way of explanation given or presented is great. Those animations where add mul load where awesome which remained me my OS classes at clg.. Lovin it.

A execution unit is usually broken up into Integer, Floating Point, Load/Store not add, sub, multiple or divide.

impressed with the work you/the team put in. Really detailed info with nice flow

the best video series about apples M1 chips I've seen!

super informative series ... much much needed.. Thanks Engadget

Well done! This is the first M1 video I have seen on KZfaq that refer to RISC and OOO execution. There are too many videos with very talky hosts who are doing just that, talking, nothing else! It is refreshing to see a video that touches lightly but does reach the core advanced concepts within CPU designs.

Great video! Bought an M1 Air a few weeks ago. Been impressed by its performance and battery life.

Didn't expect such a thorough video. Thank you!

Amazing and informative, not the same boring ones where ppl keep talking about performance benchmarks all the time.

Wow! Awesome content, Chris! Congrats!

This is one of the best explanations of instruction level and thread level parallelism I've seen. Great content!

Excellent video! Seriously. I never thought I'd say it but Upscaled is totally underrated according to the quality

I sincerely congratulate you on the quality of both presentation and content. You mastered at explaining how all this works. I liked how you explained out-of-order execution and the fact is nothing new and all CPUs do this but at the same time explaining exactly where the M1 is different than its competition.

"Pls bring back the SD card" Apple: should we remove the thunderbolt entirely and charge the laptop wirelessly?

Its so nice to have someone talk about processors that actually knows something about ISA's microarchitecture

Incredibly well done, thanks for these!

The content and explanations are exceptionally clear and professional (coming from a technical background in micro architecture), unlike most other media where the core concepts are shoved around and more or less twisted. Great job!

i feel like he's shouting into my ear T_T

Very detailed overview, that's what I really like to see

This was the most in-depth video I’ve seen on the M1 macs and I loved it

Wow that explanation was detailed af Love it

This was so incredibly in-depth.. I actually understood some of it

Wow. This was so much better than I thought it would be.

Awesome video, my M1 mac mini came in earlier this week and my god I love it, it's a gigantic upgrade from my nearly a decade-old hand-me-down Macbook Air.

This series is amazing, you guys should spin it off into its own channel!

Well done on the instruction animations, clears out lots of doubts!

Fantastic video bro. Best video on the topic I’ve seen.

the buff -> buffer part made me spill my coffee XD well done!

Clap for the man right here, his way of explanation was just awesome 👌🏻

Dude amazing explanations and very informative!

Great stuff! More of this guy please. :)

What a fantastically thorough video - thank you! Instant subscribe to the channel.

This guy is so great I could watch him all day. Seriously, great job. I subscribe just for him.

Man this was so dope! Gosh I enjoy Upscaled!!!

11:59 cat in the background reflect exactly the attitude of none-apple user

Great content. One tip though, less compression on your voice would be great

Cool bro...cant skip anything of your content so infopacked presentation 🔥

That's an incredible video. So in-depth yet with a couple of re-watches of certain sections a complete tech dinosaur like me was able to cotton onto it

This channel is so good, I can't compare it to anything else! It should get more views!!

Love the M1 Air so far. Got it as a stopgap while waiting for the M1X/2 MBP, but I have to say that the fanless experience is something else, and it's surprisingly capable. As far as the SD card, all on board.

Thanks for your incredible insight on Chips and sharing with all of us .. 👌👍 keep it up

Fantastic video. I appreciate the deep dive.

Now that is what I wanted to know . Great video

Well done, thanks for the explanation!

Great video. I haven't tried the M1 as of yet, I'm still happy with my current MBP's.

This is very well made awesome content!

Another Excellent Upscaled video, I did find this episode a bit intense on the ears though.

This is what I need!!!!! Thank you for your explanation!

Thanks for the deep dive on the architecture

Best most researched video on m1. Period.

Thank for one more incredible detailed and insightful video. :-)

I will rewatch this video to understand it better. Thanks for video

Excellent man This is the most awaited tech series on KZfaq Very well put I just felt that you compared the M1 to INTEL chips Hopefully you would also included latest AMD chips too in future Zen 3 deepdive this way is expected from you

Great video. Very informative

Wow new info, good video (apart from audio)!

Just wanted to stop a moment and just write this comment to appreciate you about your very in depth research and easy to get explanation. And I like the jokes in between too. Nice work. Keep it up.

this is the best vid on the m1 that ive been able to find

I alone wrote 4-5 comments for this single vid. Cause it's just 👌🏻 Fun fact: This is my first vid that I'm seeing from this channel. Great work guys.. gg

Great video! Audio is a little rough though D :

3:24 “Oh no, my $899 netbook running at 15 watt TDP and without a fan is only as fast as an i9 9800HK?”…That doesn’t sound like a performance gain that’s been “evaporated away” 🙄

This is a superb explanation!

Really good video, I learned a lot from it, thank you

As someone with almost no understanding of hardware architecture, these videos gave excellent explanations.

Good stuff, thanks. Bonus points for Cat helper :)

Joy to watch A great breakdown

Great video subscribed!!!!

great informative video. A series on photorealism in gaming and the hardware needed to achieve that would be good. memory bandwidth, floating point compute of the GPU, etc.

amazing narrator i guess one of the best out there !!

Thanks, Taran

Best explanation of CPU mechanics I've seen in quite some time

Excellent video. Thank you

This is very well explained. Thank you
