minus-square@aportlink8•1 year agoAs someone who has compiled a ton of software on a lot of different laptops, Apple Silicon provides ridiculous performance per watt. My M1 Pro macbook not only compiles emacs faster than my desktop with a 5600X, but the fans don’t even turn on.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 year agoApple gives you a lot more silicon, and then clocks it lower, making it far more power efficient. You can do the same thing with other hardware, it just tends to be pushed to the max instead. It’s a matter of configuration (well, and price).
