Apple has the money to buy Disney, tho."With the right software"
Well that's the thing innit....

Who's going to pay $799 for an Apple handheld though?
In a tweet posted yesterday, Andrea Pessino, founder and technical director of Ready at Dawn studio, claims that if Apple released an M1-powered portable it would obliterate the Switch and render gaming consoles obsolete in the future.
My take is that even if that were true from a technical POV, content is what matters and without internal studios it wouldn't really do it.
Exactly! The absolute number one thing you need to get right is what the giant tech companies have consistently failed at.I would love to see their attempt at making IPs that us customers would actually give a shit about.

M1 has much better performance per watt. Check the anandtech review. The GPU is super impressive too.Note how 5nm M1 manages to lose vs 7nm Zens even native vs native not only at perf, but also at perf/watt.
Sounds like a hidden M1 advertisement.
I guess people aren't buying M1 lolbooks in droves.
Chuckle at GPU front of things.
That's the review I've checked. It was comparing 25+ watt 5nm M1 to 15w 7nm Ryzen (among others).M1 has much better performance per watt. Check the anandtech review. The GPU is super impressive too.
So, shameless marketing inbound...And the M1 is just the start. M2 is coming later this year.
Really? M1 only uses about 15-20W for the CPU and around 3-5W per high performance core.That's the review I've checked. It was comparing 25+ watt M1 to 15nm Ryzen (among others).
M1 is also a much bigger chip (16 billion transistors vs about 10)
So, shameless marketing inbound...
Excuses, huh?Really? M1 only uses about 15-20W for the CPU and around 3-5W per high performance core.
I'm puzzled why you think that would not work.Apple is putting an M1 inside a 6mm thick, fanless iPad. Try that with a Ryzen.

The point is "25+ watt M1" and "15W ryzen" is simply false.Excuses, huh?
All compared chips are APUs, with integrated GPU, right.
I'm puzzled why you think that would not work.
Lower the clock/voltage (losing perf) and, viola, you got a better chip.
The problem is, what is your base level perf. And it is Apple's face melting already on 7nm. Imagine what 5nm Ryzen will do.
The performance of the new M1 in this “maximum performance” design with a small fan is outstandingly good. The M1 undisputedly outperforms the core performance of everything Intel has to offer, and battles it with AMD’s new Zen3, winning some, losing some. And in the mobile space in particular, there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent in either ST or MT performance – at least within the same power budgets.
In multi-threaded scenarios, power highly depends on the workload. In memory-heavy workloads where the CPU utilisation isn’t as high, we’re seeing 18W active power, going up to around 22W in average workloads, and peaking around 27W in compute heavy workloads.The point is "25+ watt M1" and "15W ryzen" is simply false.
you can check the power metric here:In multi-threaded scenarios, power highly depends on the workload. In memory-heavy workloads where the CPU utilisation isn’t as high, we’re seeing 18W active power, going up to around 22W in average workloads, and peaking around 27W in compute heavy workloads.
20-24W is Anands own "speak" about how he'd rate that chip compared to others, so,shrug.
Notable that Anand checks is out with 4000 series mobile Ryzen.
He does state chip is ahead at perf and perf/w though, although, that statement is a bit blurred across Intel/AMD (as AMD does so much better)

This is dumb.Apple has no IPs. They would need to buy Disney... and also someone who knows how to make video games.
Making an ipad with controllers doesn't mean shit.
Besides Nintendo is in bed with Nvidia and Nvidia owns (or is buying arm).. without Arm processors there are no apple devices.
Oh, boy, followed apple.com link, selber schuld.
So "The 8-core CPU design features the world’s fastest CPU cores", yeah right, mkay.
And then this new superduper XDR, best evar pro stuff, stupid me, I took the bait.
Looking for reviews, oh, just hyping shit on its own.
But thank god, this guy exists:
The random guy who wrote the anandtech review.That's a random guy on twitter.
There are 2 different types of cores in it, 4 beefier, and 4 smaller.Look, Apple is using the same core used in the iphone (+200mhz) and manufactured using the most advanced litography available.
Ouch, thanks for letting know.The random guy who wrote the anandtech review.
Define "insane" please.The M1 macbook air and pro have insane battery life and thermals.
Every single iPhone/iPad they sell is a sort of videogame console. They also have the monopoly through the iOS store. I don’t see a reason for why Apple would bother in design a specific hardware for gaming. They even compete, in a way, with Xbox and PS through the Apple TV.
He literally says "with the right software" and your first response is this?
You just felt like reiterating his point?
They already do
According to research by Digitimes, Apple is expected to ship in excess of 60 million iPhones in the first quarter of 2021. This would make Apple the top smartphone seller over the this quarter and the last of 2020.
Total shipments for the two quarters, are expected to be over 150 million iPhones. That's up 38% year on year, for Apple.
