Just wait and see when Amd and Intel will release their killer Cpu, Apple will instantly be "has-been". Their Cpus are already faster on a purely performance basis.

Even Qualcomm starts to attack with their Arm - desktop/laptop Cpu.

    Actually.. any professional workflows.. Mac is better...

    Even Music production.. these machines are extra quiet, do not even need to move it into a separate room.

    Of cause.. the PC fanboys will fallback to gaming... yeah.. PC is always the toy.

        Anonymous, 03 Nov 2023apple dont make own soc its made by tsmc buddy Tsmc manufacturers it. Just like they do for everyone else. Apple designed it custom. Period. Only 3 companies in the world can design there own custome architect for arm. I love how many people come on here to hate apple. Lol. There is a reason most creators use Macs. AMD and Qualcomm also have there chips manufactured there. Doesn't mean tsmc came up with them.

          While you are at it, might as well as BP and Chevron for the virtues and advantages of using fossil fuels for everything power.

          As long as Apple fails to support CUDA based workflows, it's DOA for more than 90% of the targeted professional market who aren't locked down to Apple's video editing suites, no matter how great their synthetic benchmark scores paint them to be.

            & ofcourse its garbage compared to AMDs newer RDNA based igpus.

We got dGPUs' that are supremely better than anything apple sent out. You want an example? Even a 4060 ti is faster than the m2 ultras gpu, which costs only ~$400, and the M3 Maxs' GPU is supposedly the same as M2 Ultra, let that sink in.

                Imo it's why Apple wanted their own chip. So that they can be as slow as possible I developing it. They hated that chips used to develop as fast back in the day. Now they can be adding 5% each year and calling it revolutionary new tech (because they can).
