This miserable Intel CPU with its opcodes that support code bases back to the Carter administration (wish that was hyperbole) of 1 byte up to 10 23 (that is hyperbole) is a steaming wreck of an architecture that needs to just fawking die. Every single tech company has embarked on an ARM variant, including Microsoft, and rightly so. This is a groundbreaking development and ffs thank GOD. In judging against everything for sale right now, it beats a 5800X and it is within 1% of the 5950X in floating-point performance all while consuming 1/4 of the power. Here is a quote “The combination of raw performance, unique acceleration, as well as sheer power efficiency, is something that you just cannot find in any other platform right now, likely making the new MacBook Pro’s not just the best laptops, but outright the very best devices for the task.” Here is the link: įor actual CPU performance, it absolutely trounces every other mobile CPU in existence. Have you read the actual reviews and benchmarks of the new Apple silicon? Anandtech has a recent review. Moore’s Law of 18 mo revisions is a distant memory for Intel. The whole world has been sitting around waiting for eternity for theses bumbling fools to execute. Intel is FINALLY and BARELY getting off 14nm. Until then it just would not make ANY business sense for Autodesk to chase that niche.Īpple may very well “want to control every part of the Mac ecosystem” but let’s be real here, what they’ve done with the M1 and its derivatives is dramatically changing the landscape. Not laptop "equivalent" parts, but real desktop parts. There would never be the market share, the power will be held back by onboard graphics and unified memory, no matter how pretty the charts make them look, there's just no comparison at this point.Īpple wants to control every part of the Mac ecosystem, so we can talk when they start making equivalent 16 Core 5950x CPUs and RTX 3090 equivalent GPUs. There's just no question on that front.Īpple has their niche with really amazing laptops, and I would definitely recommend them for creatives who use Adobe products, and like to show them off, but in the Autodesk ecosystem, these laptops are a niche within a niche. You'll always get more bang for your buck from a desktop PC. I guarantee you that will never be any sort of iMac in any way shape or form, especially the price to performance ratio. They want the fastest workstation they can afford. They are making amazing laptops for people who use laptops, but if I were to take a survey I would guess that likely 85%-90% of Revit users are on desktop workstations who do not care about battery life or power consumption. Instead, you are asking a company that barely iterates it's products in the PC x86/圆4 space to completely rewrite the code to function in an ARM based world. If your primary work is creative Adobe work, then maybe parallels is a good go between but not as the main way to work. Parallels might just do the job with such a powerful processor, but you're gimping yourself right out of the gate. Lastly, we're talking about an ARM based CPU that likely does not have instruction sets that Autodesk likely relies on. a GTX 3080 in a desktop is a whole different beast from its laptop equivalent. Secondly, the comparisons are against some sort of gaming laptop which generally uses a significantly paired down video card. I would say they are taking a very specific pro user seriously, not pro users in general. Firstly, the only thing we have right now is some nice charts from a biased Apple.
