>The same review that notes the increased power consumption of the CPU? That one?

What's your point? It's a beefier SOC, and possibly more power hungry. Nobody disputes that.

You've tried to frame rebukes of your posts as "desperately defensive". For me I take issue with what you said below:

> The power consumption angle is a complete and utter non-issue. It generally comes up as an apologetic canard to justify Apple's choice here, but in the >holistic sense the power difference between 1GB and 2GB is negligible. Note that the ARMv8 processor, however, is a serious power pig

You seem to be absolutely sure, with numbers to back it up. You dismiss the OP as "completely unsubstantiated", but ironically you can't prove your points either. Should I take you seriously?
