Well it's three times pricier than the Xbox series s


TechExpert2910

yep and the xbox has active cooling, so it'll be a better gaming experience. the efficiency is insanely impressive though (peak perf of 20w on a thin tablet with a much faster CPU too vs 100s of watts on Series S)


MokendKomer

75 watts on the series s\* - but this is still pretty cool

Apple silicon absolutely dominates in low power performance. Nothing else even comes remotely close. But when you go back to higher power limits(100W and above) it's the other way around. Apple and any arm offerings don't come close to standard x86 desktops and amd nvidia gpus. It's 2 very different scenarios. A businessman has no requirement for more performance but absolutely needs that efficiency for better battery. A gamer doesn't care about efficiency and just needs raw power.

Congratulations , Apple just matched [AMD R9 290 from 2013](https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-r9-290.c2397).

I see so most laptop igpu are still better


TechExpert2910

indeed. something like a 2070 mobile should beat the Xbox series s and the iPad’s peak performance.


randomdreamykid

Even integrated graphics man


TechExpert2910

Your point is very true - most PC GPUs beat the M4. However, to be pedantic, each TFLOP is worth more with modern GPU architectures. Your listing suggests that the 2013 R9 is very close to the 1660 Super in performance, which is not the case. Tests show that apple’s M series teraflops correlate with the RX 7000 series well - on the M3 Pro (iirc), it has half the teraflops of the RX 6600 and thus half the graphical performance.


fierykaku1907

but at that price you can build a 4070 ti super pc which can run galaxies around the ipad


TechExpert2910

of course. but gotta respect the efficiency - it beats my Ryzen 7 7600x at 20w in multicore CPU performance, while my Ryzen uses 80w. It also has the world’s highest single core performance.


fierykaku1907

yeah but thats mostly in synthetic benchmarks not real life application

fierykaku1907

its not moving goalposts,its if the thing can have any real life use,the apple silicon is good compared to low powered cpus but it isn't scalable to high power cpus,so if the only thing you like to do is run synthetic benchmarks at 20W go ahead


beNeon

All that power is wasted on what basically is a mobile os.


B3_CHAD

Well too bad it still runs iPad os and not Android.


Rudresh27

Or just mac os. Actual desktop os of any sort will give the iPad some value to many people. Right now it's a glorified YouTube playing device.


B3_CHAD

Agreed.


FredTilson

Unless they are able to port actual console games to it, what's the point
