Given inflation since M1 MBA'20 launch is around 10% (depending on your country of residence), we could say the old MBA has a price drop (of $100) in real terms, but the new M2 MBA'22 is still more expensive for what is an expected generational refr…

I think that terminating an apple id without any reason given is really poor, and not on when that apple id is used for basic device functionality, never mind also being used for purchases (whether it's $25 or $25000) for the right to indefinitely a…

xyzzy-xxx said: 16 GB maximum memory for a 16" MBP ? This is why we know this 'leak' not based on real information. The M1 had a trade-off to make, because of the integrated GPU being decent. GPUs need memory bandwidth. That meant the M1 …

rcfa said: So, for all these years there was no arm64 version of a JVM? For Linux, yes - I run it on a Raspberry Pi I have available - it can even run Java Minecraft (badly, the GPU in a Pi is extremely weak and has not seen the impro…

£31 on Amazon UK. Performs what most home users need from a dock - provides USB Type A for their keyboards and mice, maybe an external USB drive, and HDMI convertor.

This is likely to create a downward pressure on Intel's margins in the long term, as they find themselves having to compete not only against AMD who do price competitively and who finally have a compelling product, but against large OEMs coming out …

blastdoor said: If Geekbench is running through Rosetta then these numbers are actually pretty impressive. 800/1100 = 72% of full performance when running emulated code? That's really impressive. That's right. Also consider that Geekbenc…

zimmie said: VirtualApple is 100% a Rosetta thing. The reported processor speed is probably just a lie to software to give it an expectation of performance level. It's a thin VM/system layer around the translated application, because not e…

jdb8167 said: I’m pretty sure Rosetta only uses the “big” cores which is why these results show up as a 4 core CPU and not 8. You also can’t rely on the reported clock speed. These results are from a kit that isn’t supposed to be benchmarked …

Read the MacRumors thread on this, it's comprehensive. TL;DR: MacMini A12Z at iPad TDP and clock speeds matches 2016 MBP15 *in Rosetta*. Achieves about 75% native performance within Rosetta. Final hardware will be two generations newer (A14Z), have …

tmay said: You might be close on the CPU cost for the low end models, but I'd guess that Apple is going to need multiple configurations, with a very large die for a Mac Pro. Then there's the integration of the CPU into the SOC, and that is li…

If you make your own silicon designs, then you have two costs - upfront research, design, testing, and then manufacturing. The more you sell, the more you amortise the first cost over all of the sold devices. Apple is already investing the money in…

The memory is most likely surface mounted LPDDR4X. The GPU would suffer otherwise. I expect the A14Z (or whatever they call the Mac Apple Silicon) to utilise LPDDR5 and not be upgradeable in the slimmer form factors. Early devices might use LPDDR4…

Note in the State of the Platform show, they do confirm it's ARM in the Rosetta 2 section, for those doubters out there (or the RISC-V theorists!).

Under two years for all Mac hardware to be based on ARM. Two years includes breathing space in case of issues. Apple likes to beat their deadlines. Expect most of the hardware line on "Apple Silicon" by the end of next year. Maybe a Mac Pro or som…
