arm cpus have a decent performance, but they can’t compete with a high end cpu, at least not yet, maybe in the future but it will take a few years
arm cpu are good and have a reasonable performance while keeping power comsumption as low as possible, that way they can save battery life
that’s why i believe these chips are just for mac laptops, basically the same as mobile
laptops are portable devices
one very important fact that many people fail to realize
do arm cpu have support for 64 lanes pci-e?
do they support over 1 tb of ram?
anyone?
no right, yes apple can replace the cpus on their macs because that won’t hurt performance that much,
in some case it might even increase performance due to the fact that the cpu will not throttle due to apple bad cooling solution, that are not good enough to cool down an intel cpu
just because the mac has to be thin
that’s why i belive apple won’t be changing the cpu on the the mac pro any time soon
maybe in a few years, they might come with a new arm monster just for the mac pro
but imagen how a high end procesor will performe at that time, they will also improve too, is not like the arm cpu will improve and high end will be stock without any progress
so at the end , it doesn’t matter how much arm involve, it will never be faster than a true high end cpu
iphone, ipads, laptops = arm
super high end , ultimate performance pc = cpu
that’s the way it is or the way it should be
