Wait! So a laptop with 24 cores capable of running at up to 5.6GHz is more powerful than a laptop with 12 cores running at 3.7GHz? That's just crazy! What a stupid waste of time. Yes, I get that it is a somewhat fair comparison in so much that t…

DuhSesame said: Better wait and see what the Mac Pro looks like. Also, I don’t expect a 4-die version, and the M2-series is pretty lame in performance. I’m betting all for the M3, though I was concerned that Apple might give up the performa…

keithw said: The 2023(?) ASi "Mac Pro" must either be able to reach the 166,946 GB5 GPU results either with on-chip GPU cores or by a discrete graphics card like the existing Intel Mac Pro, otherwise, why bother to even release it? I thi…

It can't be that 'personalization' in the Apple ecosystem equals 'tracking' outside of it, Umm, it absolutely can when Apple sold the user the product and that product offers certain features that need to know what the user is doing. Features that …
