alt Hacker NewsSlightly off-topic side remark:
Every mathematician and computer scientist should feel deeply confused that the M... Ultra is more powerful than the M... Max.
Why? Because if something is the maximum, there doesn't exist anything larger/better. :-)

They should use something simple, like AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 395?

Not really, Max is to violet as Ultra is to ultraviolet, as in something exceeding an established category (visible light)
This thing has been going on for a while unfortunately. If I told you "Here's an "air", a vanilla, and a "pro"", what would you expect? The vanilla is base, air is lighter, and pro is nicer, right?
Well, for iPads, the base has (had? Haven't closely followed them for a while) an older CPU for some reason. And the Air is actually a "Pro-lite", rather than a weight optimized version.
Don't get started on where the mini sits, or what happens if you want "nicer" features like 60hz+ displays in a small form factor... a feature that budget android tablets have had for years.
