So I was watching the keynote yersterday, but correct me if I am wrong, did they just popped in an A12Z bionic SOC onto a desktop environment running Big Sur, showing all the native apps running off the A12Z and playing Tomb Raider with it?
I mean, I have always known that the SoC on the iPad Pro is crazy powerful, but I never realise how powerful it can be just blazing through the demo running all those apps smoothly on a desktop environment. Has Apple reached a stage where they are not confident they can do better than intel in the performance department?
And considering that the iPad Pro has virtually no active cooling at the back of the device to keep the chip cool while running CPU and/or GPI intensive tasks, is Apple trying to show us that their SoC is far more efficient than Intel?
Is this Apple’s holy grail? Will we finally start to see 24-hour battery life on future Macbooks? How about whisper quiet operations on the iMac??
