Lot of PRO here like to compared Apple SoC (RISC X ARM) architecture to X86 architecture and Mac OS to Windows OS. I'll bet they ass that they don't know Mac OS is a UNIX base unlike Windows OS 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

      When Mac OS ecosystem can match the application and services supported on Windows, then we can have a conversation.

      Windows can run just fine without ever optimizing themselves for ARM architecture.
      Mac OS on the other hand continues to remain a niche.

            In short, ARM-based CPUs like M1 or Snapdragon 8cx could deliver same performance with x86 based CPU with lot less power.

            In gaming world x86 CPU are still the king, but in everyday use ARM-based CPU are starting to take over

They are expensive, but as a 3D artist & developer I can at least see why these would warrant the sticker (shock) price.

                    These Macs on the other hand can only run a curated selection of boutique software. What's the point of having 32 cores if you can't even use a suite to it's highest potential? And if you want to game on these Macs in your leisure, then good luck with that. Half of your Steam library will be unaccessible on Mac OS.

                    Any smart person would wait for 3rd party benchmarks and reviews before jumping on the table shouting innovaaashin.

                      Anonymous, 19 Oct 2021Serious kudos to Apple’s engineers if these numbers stack up. What are these 4 core and 8 core PC they are comparing with the m1's. These pictures of graphics paint a nice picture in favor of M1 pro and max. And then the graphics of a gaming pro that consume 100W more power is probably also a laptop that cost half the price of the Pro model.

                      Also in the video they show pictures where the M1's beat i7 and i9 while dont show what generation they are and what numbers they have for models there are low end i7 to high end and same with the i9 as they both have more then 1 chip.

                      It's just the genius of marketing painting a beautiful picture of advertising

                                  This is great news but how long will these last? I mean i've seen countless inspiron 1520s live for years even over a decade. I've not seen one mb from 2008 not being overpriced while having the same specs. Newer mbs tend to be more ewaste than tech. So yeah, apple has some explaining to do.

Intel and AMD have budget to flagship in all types of hardware specs to masses so why should they care or be scared of Apple M1 chips when these dont enter in the market for Windows users.
