This is the most sound flogic I have ever witness, I shall now bow down to the Grand Nagus of flogic as I am not worthy to stand with thee

There’s no SoC that performs anywhere near Apple Silicon.

Am I missing the point really? UM is not a new concept. Specifically look at the PS5/X:SX

Notice the soldered RAM and lack of video card? Kinda like what the M series does.

And when all is said and done, 8gb is not nearly enough and apple should be chastised for just like Nvidia when they first decided to make 5 different variations of the 1060 making sure 4 of those variations will become ewaste in a few short years and again with the 3050 6gb vs 3050 8gb

I grew up with a Tandy 1000 and was always getting yelled at for taking it apart along with just about every PC we owned after than too.

Benchmarks are indicative of real world performance for most part. If they were useless we wouldn't use them, kinda like userbenchmark.

The one benefit apple does have is owning its own ecosystem where they can modify the silicon/OS/Software to work with each other better.

Does not mean the M3 is the best there is and can't be touched, that is just misleading

8700G is gonna stomp the M3 using Maxton's software suite just as the M3 will stop the 8700G using Apples software suite.

Then also on-top if that the process node for manufacturing said silicon is different (3nm vs 4nm) that alone allows for a 20% (give or take some) performance difference just like every process node change in the past decade or so

I'll take the loss on the experience part as the only apple product I own is an Apple TV 4k, but there are many nuances you've obviously glossed over

Is the M3 a good piece of silicon? Yes Is it the best at EVERYTHING? Of course not Should apple give up because they are not the best? Fuck no

According to benchmarks the 8700G vs M3 is on average 22% slower single core, and is 31% faster multicore, FP32 is 41% higher than the M3 and AI is 54% slower 8700G also uses 54% more energy

What about those stats says AMD can't compete? 8700G is a APU just as is the M3

Dude it is just GDDR#, the same stuff consoles use PC's have had this ability for over a decade there mate apple is just good at marketing.
What's next? When VRAM overflows it gets dumped into regular ram? Oh wait PC's can do that too...

This is the first I've ever heard of this and I've been renting for 16 years

Good call, we're fucked, can I move in with you?

[–] n3m37h@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago

Assuming the tennant has enough to do this.
6 years of back taxes and acurred interest. Plus legal fees.

Can I get some of what your smoking, I apparently am just smoking sage...

Would have been a better response.

I've only known it for smoothing wrinkles, now I know I'm an idiot, so yeah
