> Woot? So you are buying a new Fiat Punto and compare it to the latest spec of a Koenigsegg? What are you even doing?

under any other circumstance i’d agree with you. i think we can agree this is not the assertion apple are trying to push in their marketing of the M1.

if Fiat are going to claim their entry level punto is, in real world terms, faster that 98% of all cars sold in the last year, they’re inviting a lot of (fair) comparison.

the 1050 is a budget chip from 3 generations ago. even in the GPU space, nvidia are claiming that their mid range GPU (RTX3080) is outpacing their previous generation top-end GPU (RTX2080ti).

the parent comment has a fair point.

But the 1050 is a specialized GPU vs the general-purpose M1, and besides, the 1050 is from only three years ago. So what do you think the relationship between XTX6080 and and M4 will look like three years in the future?
