言い換えれば、バットマンがスーパーマンになり、ロビンがバットマンになった

Jason Snell, Six Colors:

Here’s the backstory: With every new generation of Apple’s

Mac-series processors, I’ve gotten the impression from Apple execs

that they’ve been a little frustrated with the perception that

their “lesser” efficiency cores were weak sauce. I’ve lost count

of the number of briefings and conversations I’ve had where

they’ve had to go out of their way to point out that, actually,

the lesser cores on an M-series chip are quite fast on their own,

in addition to being very good at saving power!

Clearly they’ve had enough of that, so they’re changing how those

cores are marketed to emphasize their performance, rather than

their efficiency.
