The graphics they put on slides or marketing sites aren’t supposed to be technical reference material, usually it’s just about conveying the idea of a SoC or performance improvements, or relative sizes, or whatever.
Why is more real better for this purpose?
Isn't a big idea of diagrams that they aren't real so can be simpler and easier to understand? Otherwise we'd just use photos or actual schematics.
> more inspiring
Most people just need to get the info so they can get on with their job and day and get home to their kids. They aren't looking to be inspired right now. That's fine.
You don't need to see the cartoonized version of it either. May be its easier as a schematic to explain? Not sure. A list of M1's features would work equally well. I think its just marketing pizzaz.
This is not a new phenomenon in human communication.
But we’re all just blobs of meat, that’s true. Maybe one day Apple will better tailor their marketing to sentient Bitcoin algorithms.
I think the opposite. Apple has perfected marketing in a lot of ways.
Or are you looking for more detail, like the width of the decode pipeline or depth of the reorder buffer?
I would think that a majority of software engineers don’t know what those are, fewer still would understand the significance compared other chips.
