> My two year old intel laptop cpu (i7-9750H) also outperforms the xeon's he's comparing against by almost 40%.
Yeah, but for how long? My laptop has a respectable CPU as well but any kind of sustained load would melt it down if it didn't automatically throttle itself back to 2 GHz and below after like 5 seconds.
These M1 chips somehow manage to have great performance while also keeping temperatures and power draw low. I think this will change everything forever.
Cooling laptops just isn't going to happen. I've never had one with a thermal management system that didn't suck. My current laptop has 3 noisy ridiculously loud fans and it can't cool the processor enough to maintain a sustained load at maximum speed. All I have to do to watch it nearly melt itself down at 93 °C is run make all in some project's directory.
