What we think about it:
first__citizen - "The news outlet used Asahi Linux for testing the MacBook Air 2022, and while support is commendable, the project is pretty much a work in progress. Therefore, the M2 likely has untapped potential due to the lack of proper Linux support."
vicvinegarii - "Because it's not a gaming computer."
t4ct1c4l_j0k3r - "Very interesting, I wonder if Apple might start buying AMD hardware now?"
b_a_t_m_4_n - "Not really surprising. Apple Silicon is great for power efficiency, but it's fundamentally just not very powerful."
samtherat6 - "It’ll be really interesting if Apple figures out a way and manages to even get 1 or 2 majorly used game engines to work on ARM. They have hundreds of billions of dollars in reserve they could use to invest in someone."
tony971 - "Linux support for the M2 is barebones at best. The first kernel to even address the M2 came out a like a week ago. I’d expect bad performance for a chip that isn’t supported."
genericrich - "General purpose machine bested in specialized benchmark by single purpose machine designed for benchmark use-cases. Film at 11."
