Apple is focusing on density above all else, optimizing for a more efficient, streamlined heterogeneous ARM package Intel is working on process enhancement and bumping nodes to make fast, heterogeneous x86 CPUs Everyone is finally doing their own thing, and actually getting somewhere: Early Zen 4 benchmarks are wicked scary so far, so I'm pretty excited to see what they come up with.Īll-for-all though, this next generation of CPUs is going to be awesome. With AMD's switch to heterogeneous designs coming a few years down their roadmap, I'm really curious how they're going to compete. I am glad that Intel/Apple are pivoting to this new architecture though, it kinda reminds me of the jump to quad core systems back in the day. I don't really understand the benchmarks and such that I've seen, but the every day user experience has been like night and day.ĭocker does a lot of weird stuff in MacOS, it's totally beyond my wheelhouse. With my Air I don't even think about plugging it in, that's a completely new experience for a laptop for me. If I pick up my XPS to quick order some Tacos and it wasn't plugged in from the start I feel like i'm in a race to get the order in 'Come on, hold on, I need tacos!!!' With my XPS the moment I put it down I think about where I can plug it in. Even under non ideal situations the Air performed well. I found the container responsible, killed it, and temp dropped quickly.

It wasn't until I looked at the status bar that I saw the CPU and temp had skyrocketed. The OS ran smooth, vscode, node and everything else was running smooth. But I was on another virtual desktop and I didn't notice a thing. It pegged a CPU core to 100% for a good 45 minutes. I even had a docker container freak out on my Air recently. I don't know what it is about macOS and using their M chips but the efficiency is amazing to me. I go into the office and I don't even think about plugging it in, I know it will do fine.

My M2 Air will last nearly two full working days (I haven't pushed it that far but so far it appears it would make it), the battery life is crazy. It will last a little longer if I manually set it to 'best battery life' but even that can be surprisingly ineffective for no apparent reason sometimes. My XPS battery will barely last until 1pm if it isn't plugged in, and the fan kicks on for no apparent reason. My M2 has multiple docker containers, a collection of office apps open, browsers, vs code.

That's all the XPS is doing, firefox browsing HN.

I have my XPS 13 browsing HN next to my M1 air. If you look within the same generation (i.e.I switched from an XPS 13 to an M2 Air recently.

The main benefits of the 'Max' series are in GPU performance, memory bandwidth (double the Pro series of same generation), and the additional ProRes encoder/decoder. So with the M2 Pro having the potential for the same count of high-performance cores (8) as the M1 Max, it should come as no surprise that the M2 Pro can exceed the M1 Max on a strictly CPU benchmark test. Because the M1 Max has double the number of performance cores compared to the base M2, it outperforms the M2 on multicore (Mac Studio M1 Max: 12336, MBP M2: 8735), which should be expected. Geekbench shows a single-core score of 1756 for the 2022 Mac Studio with the M1 Max (10 core: 8 high-performance, 2 high-efficiency), but 1900 for the 13-inch 2022 MacBook Pro with the M2 (8 core: 4 high-performance, 4 high-efficiency). This is somewhat old news, especially looking at the single-core comparisons.
