I love the consistent CPU performance gains that Apple generates, always between between 15% to 30%. I know this is the standard since the Apple got on the ARM train, but for over a decade from 2008 to 2020 in the Intel world, there was very few significant gains like this. The best you got was like 10% and it wasn't even a yearly release cadance. | ||

And 20% YOY compounds quickly… If the speed doubles in 4 years and the RAM situation gets better, we could be looking at some very capable on-device models in 2030. | ||

Not to mention GPU performance, which has also steadily improved. The A20 Pro has about the same GPU performance as an M1 Pro, according to the Metal GPU benchmark. Very impressive. | ||

Sometimes Intel chips would regress generation on generation. Broadwell in 2015 was sometimes 10% slower than the generation it replaced. | ||
