16:48:03 <sech1> 16- and 32-core Apple chips soon? https://9to5mac.com/2020/12/07/apple-silicon-mac-power-macbook-pro/
16:51:58 <hyc> sure, why not. pretty sure that M1X has already been discussed
16:53:29 <sech1> I'm not sure it would beat Ryzen in RandomX. They don't have SMT - only 1 thread/core
16:53:53 <sech1> but they can beat it by efficiency probably
16:55:00 <hyc> hmmm https://www.semiaccurate.com/2020/12/07/apple-gets-creative-with-their-upcoming-cpus/
16:55:55 <sech1> "significantly outperform Intel’s current high end Skylake parts and do so at a small fraction of the power."
16:56:14 <sech1> smells like they'll ASIC common computing tasks like video encoding/AI
18:15:26 <sech1> https://www.techspot.com/news/87851-amd-rumored-working-arm-based-apple-m1-rival.html
22:51:59 <hyc> yeah, makes sense considering they had done all that development on it before
