> Please stop Thinking Different

Considering how much better m-series CPUs are, i’d say actually keep thinking different.

As Apple themselves proved with M1-M3, you can make really good cpus without violating the ARM architecture spec in dumb ways. Why they decided to do that in M4+ is anyone's guess.

AFAWK, M6 CPU is a die shrink of M5, so unless something M7 present that will significantly improve CPU performance. The ARM C1 CPU core that is available to everyone has pretty much matched up to Apple. And that is all things included from performance, power, die size etc.

Can you just use normal acronyms instead of something like AFAWK? Why not AFAIK? Do I need to know every acronym there is on the internet?

		Or just not use acronyms for standard sentence structure and non-specialised terms? For example: "AFAIK the TLA is NFG for well written prose FWIW, NGL." It is awkward to parse them and is infuriating when the author can clearly write well otherwise, because they don't use three- or four-letter-acronyms to replace standard sentence structures for the rest of their prose.

You said > "Considering how much better m-series CPUs are, "

And I give some thoughts into may be they are not "much better". And in that case may be sticking to spec and not Thinking Different on certain things matters more.

sounds like a baseless claim frankly.

they are still better. better than previous gen, essentially better than competition.

only the latest intel cpu are beginning to get "comparable" with previous m-series cpu.

		>sounds like a baseless claim frankly. >only the latest intel cpu are beginning to get "comparable" with previous m-series cpu. I am comparing ARM CPU against ARM CPU Core. Which is why it needs to there to the ARM Spec specific to ARM ISA. And those are standard ARM CPU design tested across industry benchmarks. Not sure what is baseless about it.
