Time to get this page going again.

Macrumors published an Anandtech link that demonstrates the performance improvements of the A15. Apple claimed the A15 was 50% faster than the competition, and Anandtech called them out for "lying" (my word, not theirs). It turns out the A15 is actually 62% faster, not 50%. And the new GPU is "absolutely astonishing", and that is a quote!

Double system cache (same size as M1)
50% more L2 cache
Better power efficiency
New CPU microarchitectures

Downside: More throttling, but apparently the danged thing is so fast even when throttled that it crushes the competition!

I'm super excited for the M1X / M2X or whatever Apple calls the thing we all know is coming in a few weeks.

- AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful. We are also loaded with smart-alecks! :)
