My employer just started doing daily reauth for all microsoft logins (teams, ...). The worst thing is that it's just 24h not start of day, so it may just be five seconds before you want to join a meeting.
They haven't found the setting for mobile yet, so I might just stop using desktop teams.
I'm not so sure about memory actually being the bottleneck for these 8 core parts.
If memory bandwidth is the bottleneck this should show up in benchmarks with higher dram clocks. I can't find any good application benchmarks, but computerbase.de did it for gaming with 7800MHz vs 6000MHz and didn't find much of a difference [1]
The apple chips are APUs and need a lot of their memory bandwidth for the gpu. Are there any good resources on how much of this bandwidth is actually used in common cpu workloads? Can the CPU even max out half of the 512bit bus?
Primary energy consumption isn't a good indicator for this, as it also includes lost energy.
If you replace a 50% efficiency coal power plant with wind or solar you'd reduce the primary energy by half but could still get the same amount of used electricity.
