USB Forum: About performance values instead of version numbers and missing Apple certifications

CES 2023 USB 7.1a version 3, Gen5 2x2? It shouldn't actually get that far with USB, because the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) primarily wants to see the performance data "out there" with the clientele and even places extra advertising for it to move the industry in the right direction. NotebookCheck also spoke to the forum about upcoming 240 W power supplies, cables with displays, certifications, and Apple's stubbornness.

Base variants of the new MacBook Pros with M2 Pro have considerably slower SSDs compared to their M1 Pro equivalents. (Image Source: Apple)

MacBook Pro 14 512 GB with M2 Pro apparently has a 40% slower SSD than its M1 Pro predecessor

The new M2 Pro-powered MacBook Pros seem to suffer from significantly reduced SSD performance compared to corresponding equivalent M1 Pro models. Independent reviews show between 15% to 40% reduced SSD scores with the M2 Pro-based MacBook Pro 14. This is being attributed to the use of fewer, higher-density NAND chips in the M2 generation unlike what we've seen before in M1.

Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 Core i7 laptop review: Quiet at the cost of performance

89% Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 Core i7 laptop review: Quiet at the cost of performance

Ryzen 5 6650U or Core i7-1270P? The Core i7-1270P is faster than the Core i5-1240P or Ryzen 5 6650U configurations on paper, but it's a bit more complicated in execution. The short Turbo Boost potential of the model means steeper throttling for the Core i7-1270P when running demanding loads.
