Tell me you didn't open the links without telling me you didn't open the links. Have a nice day friend.

Keep it, 1000€ for a console is a ps3 level cunt move. The clear concessions done in the design of the hardware indicate the price point of this was much lower in the design phase destined to compete with the X-S combo. Sadly, MS gave up the hardware game when their clear dumping attempt didn't work as expected and we're now left holding our dicks while sony tries to dig their claws in our wallet.

Ryzen was not more efficient than skylake. In fact, the 1500x was actually consuming more energy in nT workloads than skylake while performing worse, which is consistent with what I wrote. What Ryzen was REALLY efficient at was being almost as fast as skylake for a fraction of the price.

Will you look at that, in nT workloads the M3 Max is actually less efficient than competitors like the ryzen 7k hs. The first N3 products had less than ideal yields so apple went with a less dense node thus losing the tech advantage for one generation. That can be seen in their laughable nT performance/watt. Design does matter however, and in 1T workloads Apple's very wide design excells by performing very well while consuming lower energy, which is what I've been saying since this thread started.

Just remaster Origins, it was lightning in a bottle, every single one since Origins has been a disappointment. I'd likely pay to play it on the steam deck.

Intel has had a node disadvantage regarding Zen since the 8700K... From then on the entire point is moot.

We're condemned to suffer uninformed masses on this. Zen 5 mobile is on N4p at 143transistors/um2, the M4max is on N3E at 213transistors/um2. That's a gigantic advantage in power savings and logic per mm2 of die. Granted, I don't think the chiplet design will ever reach ARM levels of power gating but that's a price I'm willing to pay to keep legacy compatibility and expandable RAM and storage. That IO die will always be problematic unless they integrate it in the SOC but I'd prefer if they don't. (Integration also has power saving advantages, just look at Intel's latest mobile foray)

Ah the reddit nostalgia ❤

Geekbech is as useful as a metric as an umbrella on a fish. Also the M4 max will not consume less energy than the competition. That is a misconception arising from the lower skus in mobile devices. The laws of physics apply to everyone, at the same reticle size the energy consumption in nT worlkloads is equivalent. The great advantage of Apple is that they are usually a node ahead and the eschewing of legacy compatibility saves space and thus energy in the design that can be leveraged to reduce power consumption on idle or 1T. Case in point, Intel's latest mobile CPUs.

You may :)

What centrism? Calling out the bourgeoisie invented themes to distract from the class struggles is the duty of every reasonable person, more so if they are on the left. Human rights are not debatable, you vote for the representative that abides human rights. If none is available, you start a revolution. What you don't do is use a neoliberal dear to proselytise as if you're not part of the problem by perpetuating the system that abuses the people you're soapboxing about. (you, as in, Bioware, not you, this is not meant as a personal attack, I came to lemmy to talk to reasonable people)

Means someone cited gamergate where it makes no sense at all.

Every time I say the horseshoe theory is stupid I open a forum and am proven wrong...
