![]() With AMD's switch to heterogeneous designs coming a few years down their roadmap, I'm really curious how they're going to compete. I am glad that Intel/Apple are pivoting to this new architecture though, it kinda reminds me of the jump to quad core systems back in the day. I don't really understand the benchmarks and such that I've seen, but the every day user experience has been like night and day.ĭocker does a lot of weird stuff in MacOS, it's totally beyond my wheelhouse. With my Air I don't even think about plugging it in, that's a completely new experience for a laptop for me. If I pick up my XPS to quick order some Tacos and it wasn't plugged in from the start I feel like i"m in a race to get the order in "Come on, hold on, I need tacos!!!" With my XPS the moment I put it down I think about where I can plug it in. Even under non ideal situations the Air performed well. I found the container responsible, killed it, and temp dropped quickly. It wasn't until I looked at the status bar that I saw the CPU and temp had skyrocketed. The OS ran smooth, vscode, node and everything else was running smooth. But I was on another virtual desktop and I didn't notice a thing. It pegged a CPU core to 100% for a good 45 minutes. I even had a docker container freak out on my Air recently. I don't know what it is about macOS and using their M chips but the efficiency is amazing to me. I go into the office and I don't even think about plugging it in, I know it will do fine. My M2 Air will last nearly two full working days (I haven't pushed it that far but so far it appears it would make it), the battery life is crazy. ![]() It will last a little longer if I manually set it to "best battery life" but even that can be surprisingly ineffective for no apparent reason sometimes. My XPS battery will barely last until 1pm if it isn't plugged in, and the fan kicks on for no apparent reason. My M2 has multiple docker containers, a collection of office apps open, browsers, vs code. That's all the XPS is doing, firefox browsing HN. I have my XPS 13 browsing HN next to my M1 air. The company is now gearing up to launch at least two more chips in the coming months - M2 Pro and M2 Max, which could be manufactured using an enhanced 5nm process or rumored 3nm process.I switched from an XPS 13 to an M2 Air recently. The Apple M2 chip was announced in June this year and is manufactured using TSMC’s 5nm process. For comparison, the Mac Studio powered by the M1 Max chips has scored 1,755 in single-core and 12,333 in multi-core tests.Īs of now, Apple offers a maximum memory of 64GB on the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros, while the top-end model of the Mac Studio, powered by the M1 Ultra SoC, packs 128GB of RAM. ![]() It has managed to score 1,853 points in the single-core test and 13,855 points in the multi-core test. While the name of the device is not yet known, it could be either a MacBook Pro model or the next-generation Mac Studio. The listing shows a Mac device with the identifier “Mac14,6” with a configuration of M2 Max chip having a 12-core CPU and 96GB of RAM. In a new Geekbench listing, it has been revealed that the Cupertino-based technology giant is testing a new Mac device which will come powered by the Apple M2 Max chipset, coupled with a massive 96GB of RAM. Apple has already launched MacBooks powered by the new Apple Silicon M2 series chips, and now the company is expected to launch a few more Mac devices powered by more powerful chips in the M2 series, which have not been made official yet.
