Staggering M1X performance predictions place the upcoming 10-core Apple Silicon ahead of a 2019 16-core Mac Pro

So you're saying this new chip will be faster than a two year old chip AND it will be the fastest Apple laptop chip?
Um.. ya.
That is like saying the PS5 is going to faster than all models of PS4.

This "article" is horseshit, but that aside... you do realize a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro are two entirely different things, right? That one is a laptop and one is a desktop? That desktop and laptop CPUs are entirely different things having different power requirements? It really doesn't sound like you get the distinction because the PS4 to a PS5 comparison doesn't even make sense... at all.

Oh I am aware. How do pre-release laptop chips from intel now compare to those in a consumer ready desktop from two years ago in a highly asymmetrical test?  Intel will tell you 5x faster and pull some test data like this junk out of their butts.
These benchmark articles are just marketing bs unless they are comparing available devices in real world test scenarios.

Apple 8 core gpu has 1024 ALUs. 1024 alus is actually more than the amount of cuda cores in gtx 1650. Doubling of the gpu cores usually results in roughly 50% better performance. 4x gpu cores should provide a 2-2.5x jump but not 4x.

A14 and A15 use the same core design, dogshit article.

Why do you say something like that?
Apple actually mentioned they were new cores. Doesn't mean they changed them too much, but there are differences.

A15 have 'new' cores because these faster A14 cores have different codenames. Intel did that before with Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and Comet Lake.

Dear Apple,

I'm not intersted in any of your new, upcoming computers until you support/foster/grow a credible gaming ecosystem that supports the use-case/lifestyle needs and wants of pretty much every home computer user over the age of 12. 

It was easier to overlook this huge gap when bootcamp gaming was a thing, but now it's not.


Thanks

Apple isn't interested in making gaming computers.  It's been that way for about 30 years, it's time to let it go.

Hypothetical benchmarks are useless,  but in this case, even the actual measured numbers will be useless..  With software designed specifically to take advantage of these chips, the real-life performance comparison between two systems running the same software will likely be much greater than the simple difference in benchmark scores.
