Right.
It is coming up because we're in a thread about using them as server CPUs. (c.f. "colo", "2U" in OP and OP's child), and the person you're replying to is making the same point you are
For years now, people will comment "these are the best chips, I'd replace all chips with them."
Then someone points out perf/watt is not perf.
Then someone else points out some M-series is much faster than a random CPU.
And someone else points out that the random CPU is not a top performing CPU.
And someone else points out M-series are optimized for perf/watt and it'd suck if it wasn't.
I love my MacBook, the M-series has no competitors in the case it's designed for.
I'd just prefer, at this point, that we can skip long threads rehashing it.
It's a great chip. It's not the fastest, and it's better for that. We want perf/watt in our mobile devices. There's fundamental, well-understood, engineering tradeoffs that imply being great at that necessitates the existence of faster processors.
