back

As a user of many Apple Silicon generations in different / mostly top configurations by now I’m obviously a big fan. One thing that I have “observed” though (with no data to back it up): it seems to me as if under heavy load / resource over-provisioning the Intel systems from before seemed to recover more gracefully? I wonder if it’s just me, the particular OS version I had been using at the time or some other thing I’m missing?

Again, no idea if this is actually the case / for other workflows than mine. I would be curious to know if anyone else had made the same observation potentially with actual “high load performance” data to back it up?

Right now I have an intel laptop for work and an apple silicon laptop for personal use. The workloads I do on these machines is different so comparisons are a bit hard to do, but I've seen the intel laptop exhibit poor behavior under load that I've never seen from the apple silicon machine.
By “load” you could easily mean “running Microsoft Teams”.
