                        This says efficiency of M2 is about 30% worse than M1. I saw somewhere else that GPU may be more efficient, but nobody said CPU was as well.

                                So dont wonder if apple will go port-less

                                  3nm is false advertising.

                                    The gpu ram cpu media hardware encoder are built in the SoC. No wondows laptops have that, to keep up with the M1 pro you need a laptop with at least dgpu 3050 in it that draws double the power and consume double the battery life. So who is the clueless here

                                      Anonymous, 26 Dec 2022I‘d like to believe so but from the sources I‘ve seen, it h... moreNo, its not...under maya app is right there with the M1...the same project is taking less time drawing little more power. So is still right there with the m1

                                        Most users in the comments don't know the GPU con the MacBooks are useless. Windows laptops are all-terrain computers.
