[@dregenius]

@@jaronyuriyh7931 Yuppp! It's not just address space either... I feel like literally every single instruction, subroutine or design paradigm ever introduced in an x86 chip, since the original 8086 in the 70's, is still being dragged around behind Intel in what can only be described as some kind of grotesque, bloated rucksack... leaving a trail of blood and pus along the way. There's some seriously *ancient* baggage with x86 that just *needs* to go... but with how fragmented the PC ecosystem is, I don't see it ever happening. Apple's M1 is the first thing to really make the PC industry think long and hard about it though, you have to admit.

[@a4andrei]

As a hard-core PC user, the new Macs really impressed me. One of the reasons why this new chipset performs so well is because it uses hardware acceleration for a bunch of things. x86 CPUs have very general-purpose functionality, and the architecture itself is bloated and requires a complex translation layer to be able to decode x86 instructions. ARM on the other hand has a fairly robust instruction set which allows the CPUs to execute tasks more efficiently. Honestly, if they nail the specs and price on the 2nd gen Macs, I'm gonna get on board the Apple express. I avoided the current Macs because I never touch 1st gen stuff (and the video illustrates why). Excited for part 2!

It's because there are too many people which are referred to as" apple fan boy" who mindlessly praise apple products.

However, these fans of apple have somehow found a way to only talk about the good parts of apple and neglect the huge chunk of cons in apple products.

Apple seems to have taken a similar approach for the performance on the m1 as they do with the A14 and A12Z on their other mobile devices. They focused on making the experience feel very snappy and stable which is absolutely the right choice on the MacBook Air, Base 13" MacBook pro and Mac mini. The key to adoption is getting average users to buy into the new hardware. Apple's approach of, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss," will do wonders in this respect. These are, after all the most affordable computers Apple sells and are very popular with students, instructors and normal people who just want a nice laptop.

[@tgoddard1988]

As much as the only Apple devices I like are the iPads, they do have a habit of only releasing products that are really well thought out (except when they told everyone they were holding their phones wrong), they don’t tend to release products with half baked ideas on a whim. So it is no surprise to me that the M1 chips are actually good and surprising people all over the place.

As far as the MacBook screen, try unplugging the battery and plugging it back in, i might have the same issue with my M1 Mac Mini, i cannot get ANY video out of the dang thing if it goes to sleep, i have to unplug it from the wall to get it to come back on, the only way to do this with a macbook however is to unplug the battery, or let the battery die, but even that might not work as it will probably go to sleep before that happens

Apple has done an architecture change before. Experience helps. Microsoft has at times given a half-hearted effort to multiple architecture support, but has always given up. I ran Windows NT on Alpha, MIPS and PowerPC, and saw it running on Itanium. But apps? Not many. Even the relatively simple architecture change from x86 to x86-64 was supported but the full transition was long-delayed (as you alluded to "a couple of years") whereas Apple has been pushing everything to go x86-64 for at least 10 years and ISTR dropped support for 32-bit apps a couple of years ago (so it was a non-starter for Rosetta 2 to only support 32-bit). I've been watching for a moderately high performance ARM laptop for a few years -- must have the ability to support low-level software development while mobile -- and coming up empty until last fall.

[@AmaxterPlays]

The hardware of SQ2/Snapdragon whatever isn’t great, but it’s at least somewhat competitive with Apple’s mobile SoC for compute. Microsoft’s bigger issue is not treating the Windows platform with more care and actually enforcing modern development practices. When many Mac developers moved their code to ARM, the process was apparantly very fast due to the way Apple libraries and supported APIs were very portable. I guess UWP is like this somewhat but that still seems like a pipe dream?

[@DarkPa1adin]

can M1 scale up? be overclocked?

[@ikjadoon]

It absolutely can scale up. Everyone has a misconception that scaling up is hard. It's really not; the architecture is much harder. Intel scaled up from 2C to 20C in a few years; AMD did the same, going even bigger: 4C to 32C. Qualcomm has scaled up (2C to 4+4C). Apple has scaled up (1C to 4+4C). Literally no CPU manufacturer has had any serious problems scaling up. Is it easy? No. Core-to-core communication (ring? fabric? star? topologies) and cache coherency are maybe what are screwed up most often, but I just don't see anything else that would even be a question for 8C, 16C, or even 32C Firestorm cores on a single die. Apple, like Qualcomm + Arm + Samsung, has *already* done one of the hardest kinds of scaling: heterogeneous, with two CPU architectures on the same die. Aka big.LITTLE. AMD & Intel still can't put together a very good heterogenous die (Lakefield is a start, but it's hardly efficient). IIRC, leaks indicate an 8+4C "M1X" variant already, which would be ungodly fast. I can't imagine eight Firestorm cores, especially with their perf-watt.

Given the reliability and serviceability of apples last couple of years of products. I'm keeping the Intel. At least i can replace my battery and keyboard or anything else. Give it time i think intel\amd will get caught up. its good competition for them. one thing to take into consideration is that if you have an x86 you can run software all the way back to the early 80s with out emulation.

Intel and AMD commissioned MS to make this excuse of a computer so that the world can see how bad are ARM based computers. While none of the 3 companies mentioned above were able to produce anything that fits the mobile part of computing.
