Massive understatement!Yeah... I think AMD and Intel have some work to do.

More like i19 within 30W power budget. Intel needs to move away from x86 architecture to achieve that.From an i9 to an i11?
It's gonna be a sleepless night planning how to acquire this beastWhat? Is that a 512 bit memory interface on the M1 Max??!
Oh, and PCIe 4.0 on the SSD (going by xfer rate).
...And fed it with the bandwidth equivalent of a Playstation 5. This is the nearest thing to a console SoC put in a laptop.I am shocked. I never thought they would do the 32core GPU. They did and it has 57 Billion Transistors. Holy shoot. That's gonna be expensive.

oh wow. these are beastly dies. Can anyone estimate size from these slides? I think the 32GPU version is easily going over 300mm3. crazyI am shocked. I never thought they would do the 32core GPU. They did and it has 57 Billion Transistors. Holy shoot. That's gonna be expensive.

Seems like Jade-C Chop is an apt name for the M1 Pro. That cut line is pretty apparent in those die shots.I am shocked. I never thought they would do the 32core GPU. They did and it has 57 Billion Transistors. Holy shoot. That's gonna be expensive.

Sorry, but I need to let it out of my chest...I am shocked. I never thought they would do the 32core GPU. They did and it has 57 Billion Transistors. Holy shoot. That's gonna be expensive.

Yeah, looks like M1 Max is 3x the die size of the regular M1, so 300mm2 at least makes sense.oh wow. these are beastly dies. Can anyone estimate size from these slides? I think the 32GPU version is easily going over 300mm3. crazy
I believe the 60W figure is just for the 32-core GPU.Is the PC segment really "all wrong"?
This entire big SOC uses just 60W? Even ignoring the newer process, this seems like another universe compared to the PC segment.
You can put a lot of teraflops on a chip, being able to use them is another matter. Also, there is a process node of advantage.Looking at the slide footnotes, it appears that the M1 Pro's GPU is straight up faster than a laptop 3050ti ("Discrete PC laptop graphics") while the M1 Max's compares very well with a maxed-out RTX 3080 Mobile ("High-end PC laptop graphics"). That's an SoC all right...
Yeah, I was thinking of that when these were announced, but even before this, and even if Intel had CPU supremacy again, Apple was never going to go back to Intel CPU. It's about more than just CPU performance.This makes Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger hopes to win back Apple by outcompeting it even funnier.
His only hope to do business with Apple in the future is manufacturing Apple designs.
I doubt Intel would be able to match Apple's performance per watt even with the exact same process node. They need a whole new architecture. Apple simply made the most of available die space.You can put a lot of teraflops on a chip, being able to use them is another matter. Also, there is a process node of advantage.
Yep, all those rumors were correct. The die shots looked a bit different at first, but there's just a difference in how they were taken/colored. Two top parts are identical. Really freaking impressive!Seems like Jade-C Chop is an apt name for the M1 Pro. That cut line is pretty apparent in those die shots.
