    Devious marketing of M2

    Some sneaky marketing on Apple's part... This article points out that they're comparing the M2 Mac Mini to an older computer (2 generations back) and claiming it's 5x faster than this "bestselling PC." That's pretty devious. How does it compare to a current gen Intel CPU of a similar price...

    Apple M1 Ultra Versus AMD Threadripper Pro 5995WX Benchmark

The benchmarks do show single threaded performance in the M1 Pro/Max/Ultra is great, which we already knew. Tom's Hardware article link...
