Feeling a bit sad now as I had to buy a 2020 MacBook Pro to get AVX512!

I currently use a MacBook Air with the same 10th generation Intel chip in it and it's not bad. The only difference between the Air and the Pro with this chip is that the Pro can sustain high clocks longer and has a Touch Bar.

I expected the M1 to be like a much lower power and maybe a bit faster version of this chip, and was really blown away by it being far beyond that.

I'll probably be in the queue for the M2!
