Been like this for years now, always remember the Apple twittersphere gushing about how insanely powerful the iPhone and iPad processors were yet even years after the news of this we didn't really see the platforms doing any remarkable forms of processing.


They are insanely powerful, and if you write the right apps for it, you will see that. I've written a custom CAD app from scratch for iPad, and was blown away by the speed I saw with Metal.

I mean, they turned these chips into desktops, because that's how good they are. Wtf are you talking about?


The phone in my pocket renders 4k60 video faster than my desktop, with no moving pieces. My iPad is even faster. It wasn't until that iPad processor went into my Mac that I could do that without getting burned or putting my bose headphones on.
