Very interesting developments. I wonder how good X Elite's performance per watt is compared to the M3. Then again, Apple will soon restock all Macs with M4-level processors (reported, take it with a grain of salt). M4 beats the X Elite, but its not really a fair comparison since the X Elite is meant to compete with the M3. It seems like the X Elite is close to M3, but uses much more power [0].

- m3kw9 2y agoDo they say that when they developed it or after when they find out they cannot beat the M4 that they are not competing with something they cannot beat?
- viraptor 2y agoThose chips are in the pipeline for years. There's a chance M3 wasn't even out by the time they had the mostly finalised design for this processor. They definitely couldn't aim for any comparison with M4 at any point of that process.

- ghostly_s 2y agoIf these numbers are representative, they seem to show apple silicon's efficiency advantage is now pretty minor.
- wtallis 2y agoThe power efficiency numbers in that link do not appear to be derived from anything; definitely not actual measurements. The score out of 100 is almost certainly complete bullshit, and the site as a whole probably is worthless.
- gumby 2y ago> Then again, Apple will soon restock all Macs with M4-level processors Probably not soon. They just refreshed the macs with M3s, and put the M4s in the ipads pro, I assume due to TSMC yield issues with a bleeding edge process (yes, ipads outsell macs, but not the ipads pro, which is a low volume "halo" product).
