Don’t let hardware makers off the hook for bad cooling system design. Or Intel off the hook for pumping more and more power into their processors to compete with AMD.
If you look at Teams when it’s running, it’s not like it’s maxing out a CPU core or anything. It’s just that many laptops are pitifully bad.
Huh. Most corporate windows machines are loaded with crap. The very same hardware behaves much much better with any modern Linux.
That, and apple has a 3 year lead on chip manufacturing side. I moved from M1 MacBook Pro a same size Lenovo with Ryzen 6800h and I cannot tell the difference speed wise. Noise wise, too. It's not even a Zen 4 CPU
Not your fault obviously, but I meant it matters in the sense that part of the problem also lies with the companies and industry as a whole shipping highly inefficient SW and having the solution be "just buy a new MacBook with Mx chip to run a videochat app bro!!11"
Honestly shitty SW should get slapped with an environmental TAX just like motor vehicles. I remember running Skype video calls and Pidgin chats in ~2005 on a 1.2 GHz single core CPU with 512MB of RAM.
