Soli said: They may get it out in a shipping product sometime in October, but that would still be a month after Apple and nowhere near the volume that Apple will have. There entire run of the 980's may not even exceed what Apple sells in ship…

78Bandit said: That will jack the price of the phone up by at least $60 to protect those margins. Note that for Qualcomm's part at least, the 3.25% rate (max $13) also includes older generation 3G and 4G licenses (at least Qualcomm's part …

I can only see this being the final straw in my use of Twitter. I absolutely loathe the Twitter UI because it tries to screw everything up from the 'strict reverse date order, from where I left off last time' view that I want.

Apple's A series chips are made for slim mobile devices - phones and tablets. I don't see any major issue with the CPU performance versus an ultra-low-power Intel processor, were it to be used in a slim small laptop, but that's not what Apple will d…

I agree that the T1 and T2 are the start of a move to integrate and consolidate third party silicon into Apple's own silicon, that may ultimately result in Apple being able to replace the GPU and CPU fairly transparently in the future. I expect the…

A victim of Intel's 10nm process woes?

What an absolute bellend.

Reminds me I need to source a new/old 30-pin device for an old 30-pin-supporting speaker I have so I can use it again.

Whiskey Lake is yet another 14nm generation coming later this year. It is presumably yet another Skylake refresh, but if Apple is lucky Intel might have finally upgraded the memory controller to support LPDDR4/LPDDR4X as well. It's a 3 year delay f…

I have a mild suspicion that Apple may have intended to go ARM first with the Mac Mini, but delays in the project resulted in having this massive period of time without an update. The Mac Mini isn't a Pro machine, and USB Type A is still very usefu…

Meltdown affects all Intel x86 CPUs since the Pentium Pro, excluding Atom processors before 2013. It also apparently affects ARM Cortex A75 CPUs, but likely isn't an ISA level issue, so Apple's custom cores are possibly not affected. The solution to…

Bad luck America. Services are going to be tiered to hell and back as soon as they can do that. Oh, I'm sure the dross will still be available for all to see, and 'approved content' will be on the cheaper tiers as well. But most service providers…

Kak1 said: I have a late 2012 Mac and a 2014 Mac book pro. I will update every 6 six years. You may find even that is optimistic. Apple's systems (unless you get unlucky, and if its a common fault you will get a free fix anyway) just keep…

sully54 said: What happens when we hit 1 nanometer? Does chip development end there? Well we could consider measuring in picometers instead. That's assuming that technology is developed to take processes to that level of miniaturisation. …

I agree that the Mini could be a great test bed for the concept and for encouraging future migration of applications. An A11X in Spring, >3GHz, 4+4 cores, 12 GPU cores, 8GB LPDDR4X... could be a nice little machine for casual Mac users. And the …

TBH the main thing remaining is for Apple to integrate the modem into the SoC. Samsung only use Snapdragon in the US because of the modem differences there. Exynos is everywhere else. Exynos really is the closest chip in spirit to Apple's (becaus…
-
Remember that a phone has a very low power usage, the SoC might be allowed 2 or 3W, maybe 5W turbo for small periods of time. In a laptop, even a thin one, Apple could allocate 15W to the SoC. That would mean that instead of 2.5GHz Apple c…

Haha, that's about 2mm thick, no way that's going into a phone. The phone will have a much thinner, neater printed coil. No, if that's a real part, then it's for the charging pad.

So 14000 people, and the local government wants 34% of them to not use cars. Therefore, the local government makes Apple install 11,000 parking spots, when 9240 would be enough to meet the other rule. But, that auditorium holds 1000 people, and …

This is a far better price for an iPad, and the A9 is still a stellar SoC. I still don't know why Apple insists on charging so much more for the mobile data enabled model. 5 years ago $130 was reasonable, but today that should be a bit more reasona…
