You can just ping your CPU usage to the menu bar and monitor that. I have CPU and total system wattage up there so I always know if something weird is going on.

Why bother with Linux when there is MacOS? You get decent hardware to go with it too
AMG One did it in 6:29.xxx
That just looks unreal. I wonder if this is reaching the point where a driver can't keep up anymore.
They can do better
This chassis would be perfect for the 2nm chips next year
I dunno I’ve been seeing more of these stories ever since sars2 started circulating but it’s probably “just stress”
China still burns more coal than anyone else by the way
> and Apple poured a tonne of that money into R&D and taking the top engineers from Intel, AMD, and ARM, building one of the best silicon teams.
how much silicon did Apple actually create? I thought they outsourced all the components?
They bought Palo Alto Semiconductor in 2008 which is where all their ARM chip designs came from.
A huge reason for the low power usage is the iPhone.
Apple spent years incrementally improving efficiency and performance of their chips for phones. Intel and AMD were more desktop based so power efficiency wasnt the goal. When Apple's chips got so good they could transition into laptops, x86 wasn't in the same ballpark.
Also the iPhone is the most lucrative product of all time (I think) and Apple poured a tonne of that money into R&D and taking the top engineers from Intel, AMD, and ARM, building one of the best silicon teams.
Apple purchased Palo Alto Semi which made the biggest difference. One of their best acquisitions ever in my opinion… not that they make all that many of those anyway.
As an OS, Windows died with 10.
