entropys said: The RAM is separate to the SOC? Interesting. Apple is attaching the RAM to the SoC's package for performance. The RAM isn't part of the SoC itself. On phones this sort of package sometimes stacks the RAM on top of the SoC, b…

ednl said: This article is another disaster. USB 4 does not necessarily mean 40 Gbps. That is the max speed but it does not have to be supported for devices to be compliant. This also means that the new name does NOTHING to take away confusio…

dv_42 said: Lmao, so I see Appleinsider continues to publish fake news. The entire premise of this article is false. Tiger Lake laptops (which include Thunderbolt 4) were released in late October. Thunderbolt 4 includes USB4, but it's faster…

ednl said: The USB 4 name is misleading. It's technically correct because the new specification doesn't mandate supporting the fastest speed (40 Gbps). The actual supported USB speed is 10 Gbps on the new Macbooks, just like on the old ones.…

charlesn said: Great review for one of the most baffling MacBook Pro upgrades I've ever seen from Apple. Love the new chip and how could you not--apparently there is a "free lunch" where you get amazing processing power with much less heat a…

jdb8167 said: I was quite surprised by the Thunderbolt/USB4 and RAM limitations. I see in the slide that they did show “Up to 16 GB” which I missed during the presentation. But the single external display and only 2 TB/USB4 ports came as a r…

skippingrock said: What specific things will the Apple Silicon Mac’s not be able to do that the preceding Mac’s could? Obviously we won’t be able to BootCamp and run 32-bit applications with an older system, but what else will not be possible…

JWSC said: It will be interesting to see what kind of bill of material reduction Apple is seeing with so many circuit card components being replaced by one single chip. It sure would be interesting to see this, but nobody outside of the ve…

MacQuadra840av said: The article gets many things wrong. The transition from 680x0 to PowerPC was a very good move. The article implies that the switch to PowerPC was a bad move because no one else in the industry used PowerPC chips. That …

avon b7 said: HarmonyOS is real. It shipped last year. Your claim was incorrect. A 14 year old boy can "ship" a Linux distro. What Huawei claimed was that it had a replacement to Android that was better than Android; and that it would prefer …

avon b7 said: "Huawei has similarly claimed that it is close to introducing its own internal OS platform out of necessity after the U.S. blocked it from using Google's Android. But this has been merely disruptive to Huawei's sales, because e…

cloudguy said: Good grief. The Intel Core i3 chips that Apple puts in the entry level MacBook Air costs less to buy from Intel than it will cost TSMC to make the A14 chip. And the chip cost is only a fraction of the cost of the device. For exa…

cloudguy said: First off, never forget that this is from the same guy that as late as 2015 was claiming that no profits were being made on Android This is simply false. and that Google, Samsung and the rest were going to abandon it. He n…

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: There are two really big announcements that Apple will have to make in the next year that will shape the future of both Apple and the entire computer industry: 1. A desktop scale CPU. Thus far all of the CPUs Apple h…

lmasanti said: One point in the PowerPC to x86 transition that you forgot to mention is that the NeXT OS was already running in x86 hardware. The Motorola to PowerPC was a ‘new writing.’ This is the same situation in x86 to ARM on Macs: the …

dinoone said: ARM recent vulnerabilities (incl. Checkm8, Spectre and Meltdown) surfacing in past Apple silicon efforts, including the currently pervasive T2, are concerning indeed. Hope Apple is finally reacting to such Achilles’ heel in its…
