Talk:Apple silicon

Tables are unbelievably bloated.

Tables requires 3 4K screens in width to read, yet half of columns are pointless and useless. Tables needs to be optimized. Elk Salmon (talk) 20:08, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

I like the changes you did to the "M series" - "List of processors". No information lost, but more dense. Intg (talk) 00:58, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

EUs are one pointless column! User243422224 (talk) 00:48, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Clean up table columns

The A, M, and S-series tables all show a list of devices that use the SoC. This seems a bit backwards since the SoC is a property of the device, not the other way around. The tables further include which OS is supported on each device it runs on. The OS that run on the devices these chips are used in are however not a property of the SoC either. The M-series table goes even further and lists connectivity, which again isn't a property of the SoC. Furthermore, these columns are all responsible for greatly enlarging these tables beyond readability. Should we remove these columns? YannickFran (talk) 14:11, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

To address this further; some of these cells even contain enough data that would almost warrant a table within the cell itself. This is ridiculous. One of the subcolumns in "Ports" is labeled "Max". What does that even mean? I know what it is trying to convey, but most readers won't. Either way, this column then proceeds to duplicate the information from the previous 2.

This comment was made by 67.84.203.109:

the connectivity and devices section of the M series are essential to the table, just like it is for the A series and what others have filled in other Apple SoC series, although I do like the compact way you put the table by omitting those sections you're not giving enough info for people who want to know what devices and what ports those devices have related to the SoC

The connectivity and devices sections are not essential to these tables, and you just point out the problem: "info for people who want to know what devices and what ports those devices have". Exactly. These are specs related to the devices, these are listed on their respective articles and the articles about these SoCs specifically also indicate which devices use them. The device specs have nothing to do with the SoCs themselves, they do not belong here. We don't do this on any other list of SoCs/CPUs/etc. either for a reason. Nobody is going to look up "Apple Silicon" to check if their MacBook has Thunderbolt. And given that the table doesn't even specify which devices are actually being referred to with every "or" in it, this is pointless either way.

I've made a simple attempt at removing this information from the A-series table, but simply deleting these columns breaks the entire table right now. The markup of that table seems to be completely broken. So when I find the time to clean that up, I will.

I've restored to cleaned-up table with all changes made to it afterwards re-applied. --YannickFran (talk) 11:16, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

A12 gets iOS17 and is not chopped yet.

Article currently lists A12 as not capable of receiving iOS17, but it is. 180.75.239.83 (talk) 09:57, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

M3 / M3 Pro / M3 Max missing from processor table.

The table still hasn't been updated with the M3 series released 30 Oct 2023. Pkirvan (talk) 00:58, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
