Re: Apple Unveils M2
#2I can't help but wonder what Microsoft's answer to Apple Silicon will be going forward. They don't really make hardware, but selling Windows laptops gets harder and harder the further Apple gets ahead. It seems inevitable that there needs to be some ARM-based Windows laptops to compete in perf/watt to the M1/M2 but I don't know what company can provide an ARM chip that competes with Apple at this point.

#3They were so careful not to compare it to the M1 Pro!

Simply getting functional Windows on ARM would be helpful. The last surface ARM attempt went poorly.

#5"M2 takes the industry-leading performance per watt of M1 even further with an 18 percent faster CPU, a 35 percent more powerful GPU, and a 40 percent faster Neural Engine"
18% faster at the same performance per watt is a nice increase. Interesting to see if this will ever make it to their desktop computers.

Do you mean the Surface X?

Microsoft is a company full of bureaucrats who don't care about their product. Apple is going to take over the computing world here shortly.

I have faith in MS software development - I believe they can get windows on ARM working - but as far as I can tell, all non-Apple ARM hardware implementations are significantly lacking in the laptop space. There are vendors making decent phone chips, but I've seen no indication of the ability to scale up to a laptop in the way Apple Silicon has.

#9Looks like a pretty minimal upgrade over M1 pro. apple.com and keynote were also super vague with multi display support, parallelization etc.
