    There’s no SoC that performs anywhere near Apple Silicon.

    Am I missing the point really? UM is not a new concept. Specifically look at the PS5/X:SX

    Notice the soldered RAM and lack of video card? Kinda like what the M series does.

    And when all is said and done, 8gb is not nearly enough and apple should be chastised for just like Nvidia when they first decided to make 5 different variations of the 1060 making sure 4 of those variations will become ewaste in a few short years and again with the 3050 6gb vs 3050 8gb

      They both have have independent CPU and GPU. UM is not used to pass from CPU to GPU on an SoC system, it’s exclusively a storage liaison. Therefore it’s used far less than in non SoC applications.

      The CPU and GPU are one chip. Learn about Apple Silicon SoC rather than trying to find a comparison. You won’t find one anywhere yet.
