> roughly 2X the performance of Macbook Pro with M2 Pro at the thickness and size of MacBook Air by the end of this decade.
besides compiling code, training models, or rendering videos, what else really benefits from this level of performance increase? like what "need" is there at consumer/professional levels? obviously better efficiency is always good for a ton of reasons. just curious if there's a "need" where we are wishing "man, wish CPUs/GPUs were 2x as fast!"
what doors does this open that aren't already open? i feel like i wouldn't really notice if my CPU doubled performance wise tomorrow.
All existing air cooled laptops and desktops would benefit because they can keep the same performance and operate much quieter. A colleague's laptop was nicknamed the hoverbook, because it always felt and sounded like it was going to take off whenever he typed 'make'. And heat isn't comfortable on laptops. Plenty of models you need to be careful to not burn yourself if you actually try to use it on your lap.
Oh, and gaming of course. Which has driven most consumer level performance improvements. Laptops haven't gotten 4k gaming sorted yet and already people talking about 8k.... and have you seen the size of the newest NVidia cards? Literally the size of a brick and often in need of scaffolding due to the weight.
