I have an allergic reaction to what I think of as constant editorializing on everything these days. Feels like everything has to have a label as underwhelming or amazing. There was an iFixit video a bit ago where they made a weird "oh no where is the heat spreader!?!?" ... they were holding it.

Not that those comments can't be on point, but it feels like everything now has something like that.

And yeah efficiency is the impressive part of those chips.

Thanks for saying this. It’s a bit toxic if reviewers are constantly demanding immense change, immense improvements. Small incremental gains are great. We’re mired in spectacular technology. If anything, software practices and efficiency are the parts that most need to catch up.
