@siracusa …and how much faster than a 2019 Intel Mac Pro?

@siracusa I wonder if Apple accepts trade in of Mac Pro for a MacBook Neo?

[siracusa@mastodon.social]

@jerrod Shhhhhh…

@siracusa if you buy the MacBook Neo instead of Mac Pro wheels you would save 100 bucks.

@siracusa So you're buying a Neo for gaming, right? Especially all those Matrix-themed games that must exist?

@siracusa and to make you feel better this is transcript of ATP discussing the A19 Pro… which is in an iPhone Air!

(Metal benchmark will be less due to binned GPU in the air vs iPhone 17 pro)

@siracusa How is this possible, what does it even mean, and is Neo something you should buy?
