Just ahead of Halloween, Apple is set to unveil the M3 chip line, new MacBook Pros and an updated iMac at a “Scary Fast”-themed event. Also: The company prepares a total overhaul of AirPods; prices for TV+ and other Apple services go up; and the TV app is getting a revamp later this year.
Yeah, like someone else replied, they were using the M2 Max for single core instead of the M2. Which obviously paints things in their favor.
I hate all companies doing that. Just like when Apple compares to “the Intel powered Macs” or vs the “best selling PC” (which obviously is gonna be worse) and that stuff.
Obviously it’s all complex. It’s not all lineal. Power draw can be fine for most tasks and then be super high on the top end (kind of like the A17 which is power hungry with those P cores) and that could be fine or not depending on what you need.
We have to wait for the reviews once it’s out. That’s why I wasn’t asserting what they said, just left it at what they claimed and what they could achieve.
