Imagine Linux on an Arm SoC that benchmark better than Apple's M2 Max!
Imagine Linux on an Arm SoC that benchmark better than Apple's M2 Max!
Qualcomm brought a company named Nuvia, which are ex-Apple engineers that help designed the M series Apple silicon chips to produce Oryon which exceeds Apple’s M2 Max in single threaded benchmarks.
The impression I get is than these are for PCs and laptops
I’ve been following the development of Asahi Linux (Linux on the M series MacBooks) with this new development there’s some exciting times to come.
You're viewing a single thread.
I see Linux users still thirsting over apple hardware
Even if we were thirsting over it, what's wrong with it? Apple makes some impressive silicon that's really efficient. The problem is that it's tied to their products and closed off. You can marvel at what they're doing on the production side while not liking their business practices.
Whatever you want to convince yourself of, bud. Never buying hardware from Apple ever.
Buying? Nope
Wishing I had that M1 CPU? Hell yeah
Why tho? AMD's 7840HS performs better at 35W and is x86_64.
Because anyone who works at the assembly level tends to think that the x86_64 ISA is garbage.
To be fair, aarch64 is also garbage. But it's less smelly garbage.
That being said, I'm not expecting any of these CPUs to be hanging in the Sistine Chapel. So whatever works, I guess.
Apple components work faster because they are welded together to the motherboard. You can't cheat physics.
