MacMadalion said: Just a little conjecture math for those interested.I took the Multicore score from the assumed A14, 4612. I made the assumption that the larger cores, 2 of them, made up about 2/3s for the Multicore score. And the four sma…

sirozha said: Fatman said: Looking through Geekbench, the scores are equivalent to an Intel i7 8th generation 4core system with the ‘A14’ still having higher single core scores in most cases. Very impressive. Most laptops use an i5 4co…

rob53 said: I keep seeing people complaining about the single core speed because “most apps only use a single core” so is there any way Apple could come up with a 4-5Ghz CPU? How much does it cost Apple to add more cores? Could they add a s…

neilm said: Multiple comparisons such as those in this article are why tables and graphs were invented. Yes but that results in two problems. The author can't feel good about himself by writing a wall of text that really doesn't mean…

The problem with this article is that presupposes that Apple Silicon in the new Macs will look like the SoC in Apples cell phones. I really doubt that this will be the case except for possibly in a Mac Book replacement and new innovative solution…

davgreg said: Suing for Dollars. What deceptive practices? If Apple is guilty of deceptive trade practices they need to go after every cell phone carrier, every credit card issuer and almost any insurance company. I'm actually wondering…

It isn’t so laugh that Apple Silicon will be cheaper, it will be by the way, but it is the idea that new chips gives Apple the ability to trim prices. Let’s face there is nothing about an Apple laptop that is competitive these days. Apple k…

rcfa said: People forget that Apple and Intel developed TB TOGETHER. It’s not like a PROTOCOL is depending on a specific CPU 🤦🏻♂️ History is apparently a short coming of the average web user these days.
