I would agree with that statement, but the fact that an iGPU is even approaching a desktop-class dGPU (even an old one) is pretty impressive. I suppose we are all just used to the Intel's iGPU crap sandwiches after all of these years. Even AMD's R7-4700U is not as fast as the M1, though. I'm...

The initial benchmarks (synthetic and gaming) seem to be bearing out the initial headlines. The M1 appears to be faster than any other integrated GPU and approaching or even surpassing low-level desktop GPUs (560X and 1050) even when the game is running x86 code. All of this power with a total...

The MX250 was the newest one that had the 10W TDP. All of the laptop GTX and RTX ones had 30+ W ranges. Seemed kind of silly to compare a <10W GPU to even a 30W GPU.

I don't believe that the article mentioned that the total power of the ENTIRE M1 is only about 10W. The M1 includes the CPU and GPU (along with a bunch of other components with the SoC). The fact that the M1 gets anywhere close to these desktop GPUs in pretty insane given those thermal...
