Watching Linus highly recommend the M1 laptops was oddly satisfying, because he's honestly the exact opposite of an Apple fanboy, so it was nice to see even him admit that Apple killed it with M1.

[@blinblinthing]

It's great at the entry level no doubt. But m1 machines aren't on the same level as high end windows machines once you configure them up in price and they get compared to laptops with dedicated GPUs.

[@mikeandersonwa]

@@blinblinthing You can also get Intel Macs that destroy the M1, although they're also far more expensive and not nearly as efficient. It's important to remember that M1 is an entry level chip, but performs at least as good as a middle of the road x86 chip, and in some cases it destroys even the highest end Intel chips because of the optimizations Apple made.

[@martiananomaly]

@@blinblinthing except, those windows machines aren't even nearly as portable as the M1 macbooks and not to mention the insane battery life of the MacBook...

[@blinblinthing]

@@martiananomaly battery life is great and better is better. But to me, it's not that big of a deal on a laptop because the locations you'll need using your laptop in, you'll be close to an outlet. Also that portability you're referring to usually meant a the device had a smaller screen and less ports, so they compromised somewhere.

Great video. Isn’t Apple one of the founding ARM companies? I remember the howling and fury when Apple introduced 64bit. “It’s a GIMMICK!!! “Why would a phone need 64 bit processing??”SO STUPID!!!”. As profitable as gaming is, Apple clearly gave zero f*cks about losing that market. I’ve always wondered why, your video is as good an explanation as any other I’ve heard.

[@hape3862]

They had to lose it because with Intel CPUs and AMD or Nvidia GPUs they would have been just one competitor amongst others, nothing to gain there. But now their hardware is so far ahead over the others that Game Studios and Gamers cannot ignore it anymore and will flock to Apple again. Mark my words.

[@fod1202]

Agreed. When you get double the FPS, you get the computer and demand games be available on thr machine. The Apple market is very lucrative, some AAA games will become exclusives soon.

[@NoOne-uh9vu]

Apple wants to be in top of the paradigm thats why they didnt care to compete in all the trench wars occupied by other tech companies. Whoever is on top of the paradigm will automatically win all the battles that follow.

[@marcindebicki1199]

1. Apple was one of three founders of AIM (Apple IBM Motorola) and not ARM. They were working on what currently evolved into POWER architecture dedicated for high end workstations and servers. Motorola dropped their interest and IBM eventually dropped interest in consumer market fixing on e2e instead leaving Apple alone to drive it in case of consumer products. 2. 64 bit in phones while obviously from actual technical limitations in case of iPhones was premature in the long term allowed to introduce 8 or 6 GB RAM which is the biggest benefit from consumer pov really. 3. Sadly true about gaming. In fact I would go even further and I'd say that while they claim that Macs are universal computer suited for all kind of uses still they can be really good in just like one or two. This is how it was those 30 years ago (and that was the biggest reason why Windows won then) and this is the way Apple designs Macs these days too.

[@sharonb.9128]

@@marcindebicki1199 I KNEW I remembered reading something about Apple being a founding ARM company. I’d read Jobs reluctantly had to sell Apple’s ARM stocks (44% ownership I believe) to help Apple get back on their feet. According to Wikipedia: “The company was founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple, and VLSI Technology. Acorn provided 12 employees, VLSI provided tools, Apple provided $3 million investment. Larry Tesler, Apple VP was a key person and the first CEO at the joint venture. The new company intended to further the development of the Acorn RISC Machine processor, which was originally used in the Acorn Archimedes and had been selected by Apple for its Newton project.”

I don't understand what all the M1's GPUs will mean in the real world. If the GPUs will not improve or even match the performance of Windows games (which are the main purpose of cards with RTX by Nvidia and AMD) and the Mac won't suddenly be used in CAD shops (where Mac-ready software doesn't even exist), then what purpose will all these GPU Cores serve?

Neural networks, optimisation software, video image processing, data compression, physics engine, data parsing, etc. If you can't think of a use for a GPU other than gaming, you don't know much about computers. And some AAA games are already available.

[@LiLBitsDK]

there exist other stuff than games in the world ya know? and under 0,0001% of all games support RTX ;-) (but I guess you used that because that is the newest thing from Nvidia, but you don't understand the deeper inner workings on GPU's) the M1 is an APU, so compareable to AMD Ryzen APU's, but the GPU is more powerful than those because of the "on-die memory". and the M1's can actually game surprisingly well, but I bet the 16-32 GPU core ones will game even better and hopefully more games will actually gain support for Mac's now that the iPads (tons of games there, most are crap but there are some high end ones) use M1 chips as well, so it is no issue porting from iPad to Mac
