But......makes me wonder if Apple's trying to take a jab at Microsoft because Microsoft's Surface products doing well, and all Apple can compare it to is MS 5 year old home console that doesn't even function the same, rather than comparing it to MS's Surface Pro tablet? lol |
Pretty sure this Apple A12X chip handily outperforms what's in a Surface tablet. That's why they're comparing it to full blown lap tops and game consoles ... the point is "it's not just a tablet processor", they want people to understand that this is a performance class above that.
Now whether or not anyone really needs that much power in a tablet is debatable, but the chip being impressive is not.
It probably could be put into MacBook Pro laptops honestly, I think the hold up there is they need that x86 compatibility for now, but a lot of tech sites are saying Apple is eventually planning to just use their own chips even in laptops/Macs and phase out AMD/Intel entirely.
