are you ok?

He is copy/pasting the very same thing on daily basis around here in multiple threads, so there's your answer :D

Love or hate apple, there is one thing you've got to admit.

This is going to absolutely make both strix point and Snapdragon x elite laptop prices tank. They can no longer continue to charge absurd $1600+ pricing after just seeing the performance per watt displayed here.

Especially the GPU, nothing comes close. RTX 4050 level dgpu performance but with igpu battery life is truly astounding! Why wait for just as expensive strix halo with similar level performance but with worse battery life when it's pretty much already here?

The only thing that still sucks is their GPU drivers. You can see in Cyberpunk benchmark @ ultra it gets decent FPS but when going to low there's barely any change in FPS. Should be much high there.

Hoping asahi linux with improved GPU driver support will fix these issues but that probably won't happen until years later as I don't believe they plan to support M4 anytime soon.

M4pro 14/20core is high TDP 4070m lvl STOP discrediting apple!!

I had a thought folks,

It seems "Intentional" that Apple continues to have an Industry Worst in Pixel response rate.

There has to be no benefit to doing that right?  Like it's not that hard to have a good display.

Then it hit me.

Could Apple be running Graphical Applications "Interlaced" instead of "Progressive"?  Like 1080i vs 1080p? 

Like, how could you tell the difference between Interlaced and Progressive with a Pixel response being so slow.  Is this part of the Magic that they seemingly have?  Running Graphical applications Interlaced?

I'm sure this has been tested right?  There's no way I can be right.  But then, why do they continually have the worst displays?

Like, why else would Apple sell a laptop that has a worse Pixel Response Rate than any other laptop in the world?
