cpsro said: I'm greatly enjoying an Ubuntu 20.04-based 64-core/128-thread AMD 3990X Threadripper system that trounces my 28-core Mac Pro -- well over 3X faster on computational loads for half the price. And I'm able to swap Thunderbolt 3 driv…

From TechPowerUp https://www.techpowerup.com/265356/sk-hynix-unveils-ddr5-memory-details-production-to-start-this-year it appears DDR5 will give us much more in the baseline Mac across the board. When Apple goes LPDDR5 no more 8GB systems. They'…

tht said: They aren't suitable for PCs either. If you want more performance, mind as well put an i9-9900K in your laptop. It's not that far removed from putting an i9-10980HK into your laptop. Or, buy an AMD 4000-series APU laptop. Apple …

These are not suitable for Mac. They are slower, hotter and far more power hungry than AMD. Results already show they are 14nm retreads. From Anandtech: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15687/intel-details-10th-gen-comet-lake-h-for-45-w-notebooks-up-t…

You can upload to DropBox, iCloud Folders. Why in the hell do I care about a localized WebDAV? Corporations all use commercially certified and financially protected Cloud Services.

And it's gonna run BeOS. He's full of crap.

Conglomerates aren't relying on Government records for stats. When your business employs over 500k workers in China you get great data to make projections and then compare those to the rest of said country. WHO is focused on the globe knowing that C…

I doubt Apple purchased Intel's IP just to beef up it's 5G work. Apple most certainly is looking at adoption rates of HomeKit and will release their own stuff. When that happens people on rumors sites will whine and complain about monopolistic Apple…
