- and now we see that the next "disruptive" thing from Apple was not self-driving cars, but a damn little chip...********
- start buying AAPL...********
- It’s a good time to buy.monospaced
- with a year min. hold********
- maybe wait a little until it pulls back to 114-116, you guys really missed that 108 dip it had last week.********
- I can’t imagine why it would dip. They just announced this.monospaced
- I'm not sure why you're including AMD in this, the threadripper performance would literally be off that chart you posted.zarkonite
- @zark, the 10900K is on there, and it's faster than the threadrippermonospaced
- No, I was wrong. The new threadripper is about 20% faster than the 10900K shown here. Probably very close to the M1.monospaced
- It varies from 20 to 200%: https://cdn.mos.cms.…

- I'm looking forward to what Apple does with this but it's not anywhere near top desktop performance so far. It's incredible in terms of energy consumption,zarkonite
- and that's great for laptops but they haven't shown they can top AMD for raw power. Probably someday, they've been nailing chip design for decades...zarkonite
- Yeah, except they have shown it. They are doing it on a much smaller chip. You put more transistors on a larger chip, and you've beat AMD several times over.monospaced
- The 8-core M1 is as fast as a 64-core threadripper. Think about it. And it's many many times more efficient at it. That's what this chart is saying.monospaced
- Also, there isn't a single AMD or Intel chip that can match the single-core speed of this M1, and it's a first gen model.monospaced
- I'm looking forward to the next generation, all I need is raw power for video or no power for admin work so this falls exactly where I don't need it =)zarkonite
