If the M2 has the same debilitating hardware flaws as the M1 does (and it's looking very much like it has them), then the M2 is essentially worthless.

Nobody but a fool wants a CPU that contains multiple known exploitable unfixable built-in hardware flaws.

It's like when Apple designed a "fast" SOC that required _secret_
throttling because the power delivery design was sophomorically inept.

Who wants that M2 crap but a fool who only believes in advertising BS.

<https://www.macrumors.com/2022/06/27/m2-macbook-pro-256gb-ssd-real-world-tests/>
"The ‌M2‌ MacBook Pro with 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM was slower
than the ‌M1‌ MacBook Pro with 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM across
multiple usage tests involving Photoshop, Lightroom,
Final Cut Pro, multitasking, and file transfers.

The ‌M2‌ MacBook Pro's read speeds appear to be around
*50 percent slower*, while the write speeds appear
to be around *30 percent slower*."

Essentially they surmised that Apple cheaped out on the memory.
"Max Tech attributes this performance difference to Apple's choice
of NAND flash storage. In the ‌M2‌ MacBook Pro, there is a single
256GB NAND flash storage chip, while the ‌M1‌ MacBook Pro has
two NAND chips that are likely 128GB each."

What does "likely known multiple" mean, exactly?

And?

Is the performance terrible?

It's a choice.

It's great the way you both want to deny that Apple designed their Apple Silicon chips...

...and yet blame them for flaws which your previous claim would demand
are not theirs.

casual use (e.g., email, web surfing) will not come anywhere close to

Let's not forget,

That you'll deflect from whatever the subject is being discussed?

security is also almost _always_ very important too.
It's no longer shocking how the ignorant iKooks are unaware the T2, A14, M1 and most likely M2 designs contain known multiple exploitable and yet completely unfixable hardware flaws which mean any device made with them is essentially worthless in terms of security.

So TSMC designs flawed processors, does it?

root access is very limited on mac and ios, so even in the unlikely
event someone cracks root, they can't do much.

What the dip shit troll desperately wants everyone to ignore is that the vulnerabilities he drones on about ad naseam were fixed long ago. For
instance:

CVE-2018-4344: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved
memory handling. This issue is *fixed* and affected versions prior to iOS
12, macOS Mojave 10.14, tvOS 12, watchOS 5.

CVE-2019-8605: A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is *fixed* in iOS 12.3, macOS Mojave 10.14.5,
tvOS 12.3, watchOS 5.2.1. A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.

CVE-2020-3837: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved
memory handling. This issue is *fixed* in iOS 13.3.1 and iPadOS 13.3.1,
macOS Catalina 10.15.3, tvOS 13.3.1, watchOS 6.1.2. An application may
be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

CVE-2020-9907: A memory corruption issue was addressed by removing the vulnerable code. This issue is *fixed* in iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6, tvOS 13.4.8. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.

CVE-2021-30883: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved
memory handling. This issue is *fixed* in iOS 15.0.2 and iPadOS 15.0.2,
macOS Monterey 12.0.1, iOS 14.8.1 and iPadOS 14.8.1, tvOS 15.1, watchOS
8.1, macOS Big Sur 11.6.1. An application may be able to execute
arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Apple is aware of a report that
this issue may have been actively exploited.

CVE-2021-30983: A buffer overflow issue was addressed with improved
memory handling. This issue is *fixed* in iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2. An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel
privileges.

As you can see, Apple has already patched these vulnerabilities - many
of them long ago. For anyone keeping track, current iPhones run iOS
15.5:

<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212788>

Apple has never designed a best-in-class SOC in its entire existence.

Apple designs the absolute best-in-class smartphone and tablet
processors.

Period.

Yup. Jealous loser is just jealous, which is why he spends inordinate
amounts of time hanging out in Apple news groups telling silly lies and
trying to disrupt any productive conversations. He's hopelessly obsessed
with Apple, and despises anyone who happens to like their products. He
lives a very sad and lonely life.

Apple T2 & Apple A10 *UNPATCHABLE* flaws <https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/10/05/apples-mac-t2-chip-has-an-unfixable-vulnerability-that-could-allow-root-access>

 Since the T2 chip is based on an Apple A10 processor,  it's vulnerable
to the same checkm8 exploit that affects
 iOS-based devices. Attackers can easily circumvent activation  lock
and carry out other malicious attacks gaining full control.

But according to your earlier claims, that means TSMC is at fault, right?

You have claimed that Apple didn't design those processors, right?

Apple M1/M2 & Apple A14 *UNPATCHABLE* flaws <https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/10/apple-m1-unpatchable-flaw/> <https://www.digit.in/news/general/apples-m1-and-a14-chips-have-an-unfixable-security-flaw-that-you-need-not-worry-about-59579.html>

Apple's M1 & A14 chips have an unpatchable hardware vulnerability
in PAC allowing attackers full control of the device under certain circumstances. MIT said it has not yet tested the attack on Apple's unreleased M2 chip, which also supports PAC.

Apple is incapable of designing a chip _without_ security flaws.

According to you, Apple doesn't design its processors at all.

Quite the contradiction, don't you think?

It's not lost on the _adults_ that the low-IQ iKooks never have an adult response to the facts that iKooks were previously completely ignorant of.

The fact these ill-educated iKooks are completely oblivious of is that the
M1 and M2 chips (with PAC architecture) are known to be hopelessly flawed.

A product with the T2, A10, M1, M2, or A14 is almost worthless as a result (from a security standpoint since they can _not_ ever be properly secured).
