Comment on Apple's last tower topples… and the others will follow
LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 weeks agoYes as it turns out when your workload is 99999 idle applications, a larger number cores helps more than single core performance. SOCs don’t change that. They just reduce power and space usage at the expense of cost.

It’s nothing to do with idle applications, you should really looke more into this because what you’re saying is simply misinformed.

Can you give me an example? The video you linked has a timestamp to something about video encoding.

The Mac is comparable in photo and video editing a dominates in LLM generation.

Which again would be cheaper if they put the chips in separate enclosures. Just way bigger and more power usage.
Macs are good at video editing because they actually give a shit about hardware encoding. NVENC is the only competitor. Everything else is shit.
