Apple’s entry-level MacBook Pro M2 has slower SSD speeds than its M1 counterpart

https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/27/23184515/apple-macbook-pro-m2-slow-ssd-speeds

Lol Apple. The biggest kicker with the way they are launching the M2 is that M1 on the Macbook Air already thermal throttles when you do things that are intensive since it's fanless. Now with the M2 being higher wattage, it will thermal throttle even more when you push it. On top of that, you now get a slower SSD. As usual, other than buying the Air for web browsing, the only real Macbooks to get are the much more expensive Pros.

AMD Radeon RX 7000 Graphics Cards With Rearchitected RDNA 3 GPU Compute Units To Deliver Enhanced Ray Tracing Capabilities & Even Higher Clock Speeds

Which of course makes sense. The question is how much better will the Ray Tracing be. With nearly every triple A game coming out with Ray Tracing support and even older games having Ray Tracing being added, it is no longer a minor feature but rather, a feature that will define the generation. AMD really cannot afford to produce another RDNA 2 vs Ampere situation so hopefully, RDNA 3 is much faster than Ampere when it comes to Ray Tracing otherwise this will be a repeat of GCN. You can already see this from AMD's current GPU market share being still being less than 20%.

I highly doubt they are going to put 16 cores in a laptop so take it with a ton of salt.
