So in the context of an article about this AMD chip, you instantly downgrade M2 to merely "good" while extolling the virtues of the cooling and battery life?

I just love imagining the Asahi Linux folks making a blood oath to reverse engineer these machines so that they may one day enjoy the peace and quiet of a laptop with no fan.

Well from the perspective of an engineer: I get and respect all the hard work that went to making the the M2 and generally ARM revolution that Apple had unleashed.

From the perspective of average joe: yeah I hear about performance every new device announcement can we do something about the shitty battery life and loud fans on non apple Machine my phone can do more with less power and noise. (For real though, I just want an M1 iPad Pro like device that runs Windows)

So yeah I guess yeah excluding battery life and cooling ,I don't really give a shit about Apple silicon TBH, and I think I'm not the only one.
