  • I grew up with a Tandy 1000 and was always getting yelled at for taking it apart along with just about every PC we owned after than too.

    Benchmarks are indicative of real world performance for most part. If they were useless we wouldn’t use them, kinda like userbenchmark.

    The one benefit apple does have is owning its own ecosystem where they can modify the silicon/OS/Software to work with each other better.

    Does not mean the M3 is the best there is and can’t be touched, that is just misleading

    8700G is gonna stomp the M3 using Maxton’s software suite just as the M3 will stop the 8700G using Apples software suite.

    Then also on-top if that the process node for manufacturing said silicon is different (3nm vs 4nm) that alone allows for a 20% (give or take some) performance difference just like every process node change in the past decade or so

    I’ll take the loss on the experience part as the only apple product I own is an Apple TV 4k, but there are many nuances you’ve obviously glossed over

    Is the M3 a good piece of silicon? Yes Is it the best at EVERYTHING? Of course not Should apple give up because they are not the best? Fuck no
