I'm seeing 3200 points for iPhone 16 Pro single core and 3800 for an M4 Mac. That's only about a 18% difference. I don’t think a cabled desktop computer is the right choice for this endeavor anyway.

I think generally they wanna shrink it as much as possible, as it gives them more freedom for designs and more product options.

i think maybe in the future, maybe they'll only have 1 chip line - but thats just a wild guess.
