From the deployment of 5G to the arrival of next-gen consoles, including the Apple M1 chip and the cancellation of major tech fairs, 2020 was marked by some major dates. Which of these events had the most impact on this vintage. We asked you this question for our last survey of the year.
And the least we can say is that the 2020 vintage was definitely not like the others, in particular, because of the health and economic crisis caused by the coronavirus (Covid-19). However, this did not prevent the big players in the technological sector from innovating and pushing their limits.
Starting with the cascading cancellations and rearrangements of technology fairs that usually punctuate each quarter: the IFA, the MWC, or even the E3, to name a few. The end of the year was particularly busy.
On the video game side, Sony and Microsoft, for example, released the big game with their respective new next-gen consoles – PS5, Xbox Series X, and Series S – when Nvidia drew its new GeForce RTX 3000 cards. Without forgetting Apple and its powerful new chip for Mac, I named the Apple M1.
The month of December was finally the occasion for French operators to deploy their first 5G packages, the brand new mobile phone standard. Which of these four major events stood out the most for you? That was the question we asked you last week, with a rather striking observation.
As you can see, the new generation gaming (PS5, Xbox Series X | S, RTC 3000) was the most popular among the responses collected: at 52.4%. It must be said that the consoles of Sony and Microsoft made a lot of noise at the end of the year. Behind that, 25% of you believe that the Apple M1 chip found in the latest generation of MacBooks was the big event of 2020.
