GeneT said: Wait! In what world does a 16 core CPU, keep pace with a 24 core CPU on multi-core score? Even allowing for 16% faster single core score, this math doesn't work. Multi-core CPU performance does not scale linearly. Just go …

Apple is not going to release the next iMac with an M2… that SoC is now 16 months old. If they were going to do that, they would’ve done it months ago. The only reason the iMac has not been updated is because they were waiting for the M3. So, I pred…

nubus said: d_2 said: This article jumps around illogically, M2 or M3… and misses the initial point that it would be 16 months from M2 release to M3 vs 19 months from M1 release to M2. The cadence isn't about keeping a distance to …

If this is an actual security issue, and as important security is to Apple… I have to believe Apple will just create forks of their operating systems that are EU only. It’s a big enough market that they could hire more engineers to do that. Those OS…

A bit of hyperbole don’t you think? If anything was saved it was the ARM architecture from dying off into oblivion because of Apple’s interest in it. At the time Acorn was such a chaotic mess… it was decided that their combined work needed to be sp…

I'd be a little more optimistic than the "Unlikely" rating AI gives it. Apple is partnering with Disney to bring a lot of immersive content to the Vision Pro. Having a lock on ESPN content and filming sporting events with Apple's "spatial" camera r…
