@dcominottim@ExoticSpice101 Qualcomm and ARM are still lagging behind in terms of IPC and performance per watt. The key talent from P.A. Semi did not leave Apple and remain there to work.
@dcominottim@ExoticSpice101 Lol. And why is Qualcomm any better? We’re seeing yet another Firestorm design, adapted for the latest N3 node and overclocked to 5 GHz, just to scrape by and reach the M4 level. Nuvia hasn’t shown us anything new.
@lafaiel Perhaps this will happen once the DRAM crisis becomes less acute and production capacity for N3 node based lines increases. It is possible that Apple has postponed the release of the M5 Ultra Mac Studio due to the upgrade of its own PCC servers to the M5.
