Super fun deep dive on new M1 Pro/Max chips by @anandtech Do go read in context. anandtech.com/print/17024/ap… HT @jensenharris @roundtrip
Many nuggets such as:
"Apple doesn’t advertise any TDP for the chips of the devices–it’s our understanding that simply doesn’t exist." 1/

2/ This is such a huge deal. Intel is certain to bring something new to the table with respect to graphics, but then the question moves back to power consumption.
3/ In the interim, the idea of shipping a laptop with two GPUs in order to compete will seem attractive (and actually higher margins) but will almost certainly lose out and generally not work well--to complex, too flakey, and too much futzing.
4/4 The big takeaway is that the x86 world will almost certainly have a configuration at the chip level that will consistently win out. But that will be 1 of 1000 configs compared to a single Apple configuration.
The comparison of original Air to Ultrabooks is a good one. // END
