I think Intel is still using 9nm so if Apple can make desktop-grade processors that have much more power available to them with better thermal reduction it'll be insane what they do. Now, that doesn't mean that they'll go that route. I think they'll be turning towards efficiency and low-heat output processors that keep the same level of performance rather than increasing performance 5x and still dealing with heat issues/high power consumption. The fact that they have a 10 core processor in a phone right now is absolutely wild. They're gonna use 5nm. Qualcomm is on the same page. Intel is becoming a dinosaur company tbh. Intel will still have the edge on high performance but Apple will easily knock the consumer level i5 out of the water for computers at a lower wattage. They'll focus on entry level consumer devices for now, I expect the high performance ones coming later. ARM is just not there yet. The only thing is developers better release ARM versions of apps soon because emulation is slower. Also, I know it sounds crazy that phones have 10 cores but remember that's different from 10 Intel cores. ARM has the bigLITTLE concept meaning some cores are much smaller. They're for use when the screen is locked and are much weaker and more efficient. Then there's 1 or 2 high performance cores. Intel, on the other hand, puts all equal cores in their processors but that's going to change too. :) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and it's interesting how sometimes they'll use older designs for the "cheaper" cores. You'd think the newest would be the most power-efficient but it's not necessarily cost-efficient. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG Popster for Sale 41,791 Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Gonna be interesting to see how Apple chooses between power consumption and performance for the combination of cores for different devices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
