So what was the problem for Apple? I didn't get it! Could anyone enlighten me, please? Thanks.

Imagine m series chips with a beefy gpu that could compete with the 3090!

I really like the content, and the way you explained everything in the video. But for some reason, when you mentioned that "Though it's strange, there are those out there that get upset over this", I have to include myself among those people and for the last 5 minutes or so, I've been trying to figure out why. I suppose I have a soft spot for x86 architecture as well as Intel & AMD. I'm afraid that if Apple becomes dominant in these areas, other computer manufacturers will fade away due to the major contrast between value vs performance components. I'm worried that consumers searching for high-end performance will be forced to turn towards ultra-restrictive (Apple) machines that will lack the ability to upgrade over time thus making it a recurring investment every few years rather than a system wherein new GPU & RAM addons can keep the machine highly suitable for most of a decade. I wouldn't mind if AMD and Intel lost their edge to any other manufacturer, but Apple who's shady labor practices is bolstering the Chinese economy over the Country they call home. It doesn't sit right with me. That and their complicity in banning the Parlor App from their store for political reasons. I may not be the most informed on this topic, just wanted to share my thoughts.

I have a question regarding the M1 processor, so if you know something I don't then please feel free to reply. So the M1 SOC has an 8-core CPU and an 8 core-GPU according to their website. I was wondering if that totals to 16 cores or does the CPU and GPU share the same cores instead. Also, one more thing: Currently I have a HP Spectre X360 with the Intel i7-1065g7 which is a 4-Core processor for about the same price as the base Macbook Pro. I was wondering how did Apple fit an 8-core CPU in one SOC? Based on the benchmarks that LMG did, it is safe to say that those are not weak CPU cores. I just found this interesting and hopefully someone in this community has an answer. Thanks again!

Apple has been competitive for quite a while now, when you consider the premium market product they exist in - I'd say no more expensive than their Microsoft counterparts! Even their phone lineup has become competitive. Shock!

Apple does have a problem... They are using slave labor in China to build their products thereby avoiding higher wages here. They are also squelching free speech and screwing over app developers. I am removing myself from the Apple ECO system.

Fun fact: the Apple M1 is not a lot more powerful than the Snapdragon 8cx in fact the Adreno 680gpu is better, the thing is that Windows 10 ARM is seriously underdeveloped, it’s emulation layer is not even near ready to take enough advantage of the chip, we could simply say that is an optimization issue, but that would be oversimplify, an 8cx have performance enough to give perfect usability, if it was inside a MacBook regular users wouldn’t even notice the difference unless they compared rendered time in video edition, or used CPU benchmarks
Pro720HyperMaster7206 days ago
Would have be cool if you also put a U 8 core Ryzen for example one with an 4800U or 4700U P.S to me see what the M1 has done is really funny, I was saying for years that ARM would or could have a place in laptop and desktop PCs was always simple to see for me, if you increase the power and add a good translation layer you could get a good performance and if popular enough popular games/programs would begin to port to ARM additionally to x86 which would only improve popularity for making it a seamless alternative which in the long term would leave us in a place where basically everything would have a port to ARM and the CPUs would be that much more powerful by then that the performance obtain in emulated apps would exceed high end x86 CPUs of the past. I’m not saying that it will replace x86 I think what should happen is that ARM should became viable in PC to in the end get to the point that instead only have two companies to choose CPUs have 4 or more to some it could not be important which architecture their CPUs use because behave the same, it would simply gives more choices in PC. And btw to get that we need that Microsoft put itself to work seriously in Windows 10 ARM I hope Apple with the M1 has serve them as a touch of attention and at least improve the emulation to get on par with Rosetta 2, I usually would not praise Apple but in Microsoft must be some stupid managers, and as Windows 10 ARM didn’t receive an overwhelming support they almost abandon it, when what they should done is first fully prepared the OS, for me its biggest fault if not the only one is the emulation layer, a lot of graphic API issues, GPU memory management issues, only 32 bits support, I wouldn’t matter if it was released with only 32 bit support what drove me mad is that they not only took a lot of time to confirm that they would work on bring 64 bit support, to the point that I saw multiple people allegate that maybe was impossible to do it with 64 bit apps, but above all that they announce that it would take them 2 YEARS to release the 64 bit support, I mean it’s better than nothing but why so slow development. I think was due not good initial reception so Microsoft lost interest and didn’t allocate enough resources, when should have been a priority. Now thanks to Apple I hope they get down to work seriously on it

If anyone reads this message, how does a 13 inch MacBook feel compared to a 15 inch windows machine? I’ve been using a 15 inch asus gaming laptop for school and at 1080p it’s pretty tiny. I’m wondering how 13 inch at 1440 would let things fit on the screen better, as well as overall viewability if that’s a word? Like is it hard to focus on only 13 inches?
