ARM core architecture is the future. Even Intel is interested in buying ARM, at least as being part of a buying consortium. It'll be exiting to see what Qualcomm has to announce in the next months for the computer market after their acquisition of nuvia. The chances aren't bad that nuvia team will beat Apple in terms of performance per power.

    Olympus Oms, 06 Jun 2022What would Apple do without Samsung. Pay TSMC to manufacturer chips.
    Pay Qualcomm for the modems.
    Pay Sony semicon for sensors.
    Pay LG for screen and battery.
    Pay Micron for DRAM.
    Pay Toshiba for storage.
    Pay Largan for lenses.
    Pay LG Innotek to build cam modules.
    Pay corning for glass panels.

    And 99% of this list is being done already. 😱

                1) You should watch the graphs again.
                2) A 3050 is a small gpu, with the right cooler and case it can be as small as a Mac studio
                3) it is better only on a handful of Mac focused applications.
                4) "The M1 studio ultra is way cheaper (less than $4k) compared to building a 3050 PC with thesame amount of memory and storage and comparable performanc." no comment https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fLqfpH (and this has a 3080ti)

                            All that power and it seems the M2 still only supports 1 external monitor lol. It's amazing how they artificially limit it just to push people to more expensive products.

                            So, I guess this will be Apple strategy's from now on: cut features at hardware level, even if they are actually features that have been around in their old products before hand.

                                  1) Apple was comparing power and performance, in which case The M1 Ultra was much better.
                                  2) The M1 ultra fits in a casing smaller than a shoe box and barely makes noise at maximum performance. The 3050 alone requires casing bigger than an AC and sounds like a mining rig.
                                  3) The M1 ultra performed better in video editing in real world scenarios especially with compatible software. And was less likely to crash. (Check, the verge, MKBHD and other reviews).
                                  4) The M1 studio ultra is way cheaper (less than $4k) compared to building a 3050 PC with thesame amount of memory and storage and comparable performance.

                                      77, 06 Jun 2022Please use this Soc on the iPhone 14pro, with 8gb Ram.It may be crazy efficient for a laptop but on phones soc tdp are about 7-10w not 15w and 40w at boost. It would also get really hot and it's not fing cheap. It's a top end cpu and gpu solution for laptops. And most importantly, it's not designed to be a phone soc, they would have to add network capabilities and an isp. There are way to many reasons why this won't happen.
