Damn Apple has been taking L’s for a while now, at least from their perspective. Seems like times when they could do what ever they wanted are gone.

Average power draw is around 55W. You won’t get these processors to draw more than 300w for more than 20 seconds, ever.

No comparison really, completely different classes. This intel has 20 cores Apple M1 chip has 8, and all 20 of intel’s cores are faster than the fastest core on Apple M1 chip. It’s like comparing a fast family car to a racing car.

A 360mm water cooler keeps it around 65°C and its like 150 bucks.

360mm is absolutely fine, mine is keeping 14700k under 70°C in any game, up to 75°C with prime95 and I’m running it oc @ 5,8 all cores. That being said my friend has a 240mm and it’s working hard to keep it under 80°C.
