ConanTheLibrarian posted:Apple's already exploiting the fact that it's easier to go wide with the ARM ISA. I get the impression that ARM's vector instructions are better thought out than the Intel equivalents. Is there a legitimate argument to be made that ARM CPUs are actually likely to overtake x86 in performance within a few years? Arguably, we're already there. https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i9-11900k https://browser.geekbench.com/macs/mac-mini-late-2020 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201897 Obviously these are just benchmarks and a lot of caveats apply but the Apple M1 running at 3.2GHz using 39W of power is extremely close to the top intel processor boosting to 5.3GHz using 125W of power. I imagine, if they wanted to, Apple could just boost the speed and power consumption of the M1 and be the fastest current processor.
