The new(ish) Apple processors use a fraction (between and half and a third) of the power used by an Intel equivalent.

And this feat of breaking the laws of physics is achieved by?

That by itself, says nothing A Z80 uses way less power than a pentium A motorcycle uses way less power than a ferrari.

I like the comparison between Z80 and Apple. About equally usable really.

I'm sure they're in some science museums. I guess now we have to make do with pictures on a computer screen.

That's not what they were used for. This:

commonly used for belting a noisy pupil, whacking the desk to make a loud noise to get attention, and waking up pupils that had fallen asleep by banging it on the desk 1 inch away from their sleeping head. I saw one get destroyed when it split in two. The single glazed window that half collided with was also shattered.

Make your own town names. Dundee belongs to Scotland and is where I was born.

Radical breakthroughs aren't how things happen. Slow and steady wins the race.

The new Green computers will be powered by the cooling fans in reverse Just keep th'm in the wind.

ROFL! I sold a wind turbine to a yacht person. I wonder if it slowed down the yacht in an equivalent amount to the cups of coffee he brewed with it.

It says everything. Less power for the same load - google Apple M1

I prefer things designed for adults.

I very much doubt Apple can beat Intel anyway.

Hand wavey platitude.

In 1976 I got 50mpg out of my car. In 2020 I got 50 mpg...

It says its just another ARM chip, invented *37 years ago* and used in every mobile phone...

ArtStudents? think Marketing is engineering. Bless!

Nope. Apple Mac mini M1 power consumption is 3 times lower than Intel model: A testament of Apple Silicon's efficiency

Really?

Yeah right, someone can make a better chip than Intel. ROTFPMSL!

Yes really. ART, not Engineering. Different mindset entirely.

Which means that you are a half century behind the curve.

Oh dear. You are so ignorant you do not even know what and ARM chip is.

See above.

In your case yes.

So not a slide rule. Either or both of you are in the company of Sam Cooke: #"Don't know what a slide rule is for."#

Get your OCD seen to by a doctor immediately, then come back and talk to the adults.

At no point did I say my link was a slide rule you f****ng moron.
