Ok, so when Intel and AMD get on 5nm equivalents and their chips are both more powerful and efficient than the 5nm Apple chips, you'll issue a mea culpa here, right?

The fanboyism runs so deep it's amazing. Let's compare PS5 to GameCube next and talk about Sony's great engineering advantage

And when it doesn’t, will you apologize for calling everyone else a fanboy because they don’t buy into your excuses?

Go compare the perf/power curves of the alder-lake cores (both P/E) versus the last-gen Apple cores from TSMC n7+. TSMC n7+ is roughly comparable to Intel 10nm ESF in transistor performance, so it is a fair comparison.

Do your research then get back to me about how the process is entirely responsible for every perf/power difference and we (the silicon design teams) are just identical robots doing the same thing across the board in every company.

I do like how you claim there is no design magic sauce, but then Apple will lose big when Intel/AMD come out with their 5nm equivalents, as in, they found some magic sauce? WTF?

Yes, if Intel on 5nm does not meet or exceed M1 on both perf and efficiency I will come back here and apologize
