Yeah and I read it will be again on 5nm which sucks.Well A16 is going to be a very small performance leap and only going into Pro phones, rest of the 1Phone 14's get A15 again.
In my opinion, most people will be hard pressed to observe any difference between a M1 and M2 MacBook Air in their day to day usage. I’ve used the M1 MacBook Air for quite a long time, and I never really feel like I am losing out by not getting the M1 Ultra/ Max for example. Also, while the M2 sounds quite a bit faster on paper, I feel it is less impressive than what the M1 chip delivered when it was launched. We are accustomed to hearing crappy performance from ARM based Windows system in the past. And as a result, Apple’s M1 shocked the industry when it proved to be very performant while also delivering battery life unheard of in a laptop that starts at USD 999 at launch. It is no gaming machine, but for work, surfing net, watching shows and doing some photo editing, it is convenient and a joy to use even with just 8GB of system ram.
I mean in general the M* series are not so impressive compared to A* series when you think about the power consumption.
A14 vs M1 performance is less than 2x compared than more than 2x power consumption (6W vs 14W)
Imagine A14/15 SoC in Nintendo Switch... will be impressive compared to the current X1+ in terms of performance/consumption. Plus those chips are small.
