Rendering on the Apple M1 Max Chip

Yes-- they show a few percent victory in absolute performance while using nearly 5x the power, for a chip that's several months away.

It's crazy that I can't get a bicycle chain for the next six months, but these chipsets are shipping?

I would imagine if you were willing to buy a bicycle chain which had a several hundred dollar profit margin, then you would be able to find one rather quickly.

CPUs (and laptops) have high enough margins where it can take an airplane to wherever it needs to go.

Bicycle chains, not so much.

Why?

Supply chain chaos? I assume bike parts in the US come from overseas in shipping containers. One of my shifters broke in September and the local bike shop said they were out of parts and didn't expect to have any more until April 2022.

Other than the usual supply chain stuff, there was also a huge demand for bicycles and bike parts during peak COVID.

Intel has its own fabs, right?

It is? Source please. I've heard, for availability, "before the end of the year" and "Q1 2022" for mobile Alder Lake, which is what we're talking about.

Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow, desktop skus should ship early November.

OK, so then that's not meaningful at all for the discussion which was about comparative strength of mobile SKUs.

at 95W max power, m1 max is not much of a "mobile" SKU either. Lines are blurry where these chips are positioned.

As for your power consumption figures, Apple has a supply agreement over 5nm so don't think you can compare architecture apples to apples yet.

And there are samples out in the wild being bought and sold right now, too.
