A couple of years ago I saw a thing about how Apple had announced the M3 or M4 chips were something like "16x faster!"

And yeah. They were.

Than the last-gen Intel chips they used. Three or four years before.

It's bullshit all the way down.

And those chips were badly throttled. There were videos showing you could get 20% more performance from the Intel MacBook by putting it in a puddle for better cooling.

The devil's advocate version is that nobody on Apple Silicon needs to upgrade yet so they compare to CPUs people might actually be considering upgrading from.

I still hate how deceptive it is.. And it's completely unnecessary because they've been achieving stellar gains almost every generation.
