Meteor Lake is promising 50% more efficiency for the same level of performance as 13th gen. That should more than bring the laptop efficiency fight back to AMD. I’m not sure about the 2 times, they would usually have a few hours more, unless you mean the H series under load or something.
I’m going to say this rando twitter account likely doesn’t know what they’re talking about
I thought it could do better than the 780M based on the promised gain over where they were honestly. But Intel is still in their era of rapidly improving performance with drivers too.
What stands out about these tests to me, apart from Apple Silicon remaining highly impressive, is that AMD in both and Intel at least in multicore are beating the Snapdragon on performance per watt. Many people boil Apple’s efficiency down to an ARM vs x86 thing, but that’s a tiny part of the chip by now, it’s more in Apple’s bespoke architecture around it.
Here we see AMD even on x86 beating an ARM chip on Perf/watt, Intel on multicore, and Meteor Lake launching within a month will drop power use by 50%. It’s not just or even mostly the ISA, it’s everything else around it that matters more.
I think they’d do it once they have something else to upsell the Pro displays on, like microLED
Second fastest at half scale deployment is insane
For a home theatre, the 730 is plenty
Yeah the uptime was almost legendary back then, that was the “functional high ground” of largely just working.
Snow Leopard definitely had the intro movie, and it was awesome
I wonder why no one in PC land seems to use an ambient light sensor like Apple to control the backlight, even removed the keyboard button recently because they think that should be enough, which would avoid anyone ever not finding it
I feel like we’ve heard this for the last couple of releases too, a re-focus on quality, but then the .0 and even .1 releases are as normally buggy as they’ve been for a while.
To not fall further behind on deploying generative AI makes sense, but after that I’d still really love to see what a full Snow Leopard year for all of their platforms can do, a complete focus on speed, bug fixes, and getting little things that aren’t quite bugs but annoying little visual hitches and lags and things that leave you not knowing if they’re working down to as near to zero as humanly possible.
This is a way better explanation of Dynamic Caching than what most techtubers have vaguely mumbled about it with no clear understanding.
It said on-chip memory right on their slide which seemed to have been lost on most, which is SRAM and not DRAM, the layers of GPU caches/tile memory and fitting more as it’s needed in there which maximizes GPU hit rates and utilization. Most people explained it in some hand wavey nature about Unified Memory and using less RAM.
Nice to have another product service as pipe cleaner for a new node
