I am a bit amazed at how often people comment on apple’s engineering without taking into account they pay for bleeding edge fab processes. The energy efficiency is amazing don’t get me wrong but some of the bump is moving to a new and smaller process.
True, I also see people comparing efficiency at peak performance numbers a lot more than they do at lower clocks, which is misleading for this kind of machines.
What makes Macs soooo much better for battery is their low consumption at low load

It’s the combination of a lot of things, even on the software end.

Which makes the M2 Pro vs M3 Pro CPU comparison look substantially worse. If N3B was any good it should have had a nice uplift. It doesn’t appear to.
