The "response" to those is discrete GPUs that have been available all along.
Discrete GPUs are a dead end street. They are fine for gaming, but for GPGPU tasks unified memory is a game changer.
True, but I thought Intel might start using more channels to make that metric look less unbalanced in Apple's favour. Especially now that they are putting RAM on package.
Why the obsession of this particular metric? And how can one claim something is unbalanced while focusing on one metric?
Availability bias. But it's the metric that stands out as being higher than an Intel system without a graphics card.
