Comment on New AMD CPU leak looks like a perfect fit for Steam Deck 2

Isn’t it what Apple is doing? They downclock some of their components to extend battery life and make their machines run less noisy, which in my opinion is a clever move. As much as I hate Apple, I have to admit that their hardware is good.

which in my opinion is a clever move.

Well that’s an interesting take? We have these things called “power profiles” that are not new. It’s just hamstringing performance…

Idk man, their laptops are pretty over engineered imo. Bad cooling just so they can get rid of vents, touchbar that holds important system commands that just crashes…

But mostly they get better efficiency because there’s no hardware variation to account for. And even then, their mx processors were causing a shit ton of compatibility issues with some of the most popular mac software. I would assume a lot of those are ironed out by now though
