Zen 4/Zen 5 are going to be even more a joy to watch as they evolve into their X3D packaging with > 10x density packaging of Chiplets and HBM2e/HBM3 memory on die.

SpamSandwich said: Interesting. I’ve said here a number of times that Apple needs to make an offer to buy out a studio (or two) and their library of content before. I mentioned MGM and Sony, both companies with excellent libraries, but a spot…

It'll get worse once the lockdown system is opened back up and regular OS X is running full processes/threads. This has a long way to go; hence the two year window.

It’s 2.5D hence Augmented not Virtual Reality.

fastasleep said: I’m amazed they demoed Maya (and gaming) using Rosetta 2. I’m going to guess that 3D/animation apps are all going to be needing to be on Metal already in order to work in Rosetta (or at least work well?) but I’m beyond excit…

SpamSandwich said: Awesome! No more waiting on deadbeat chipmakers. There were no deadbeat chip vendors. Apple could have moved to AMD two years ago and have the fastest systems around.

Moving to AMD Zen 3 and beyond would be a seamless and zero cost direction! While increasing profits, lowering prices and increasing performance. Moving to ARM is a 5 year head ache where in fact ARM will never match nor surpass AMD.

Apple switched to Intel because PowerPC was dead for the consumer space. They had to bet the farm on it. Apple isn't switching to ARM. They are augmenting their product lines with other ARM designs.

Catalina has been the most underwhelming version of OS X, followed by Mojave that my former company has produced in well over a decade. The lack of vision under Federighi is quite stark and disappointing. They need new blood overseeing OS X.

That makes zero sense. iOS apps are subsets of macOS applications in Foundation Kit, AppKit, etc. Catalyst makes it easier for developers to port their third party iOS apps to macOS by doing heavy lifting that they don't want to for them. There is…

The irony to those unfamiliar with my old company, NeXT Software Inc, is the look and feel of the Apple Store is a direct reflection of the style aesthetics of NeXT Inc, HQ. The same floors, the same minimalist design, all of it. Steve was overlord …
