jdw said: Businesses exist to make profit. Everything else is secondary. This is not a praise or condemnation but rather a statement of fact. It is capitalism. And whether one likes Capitalism or not, it is largely the system used in the U…

kiltedgreen said: “ American capitalism … has been the system responsible for lifting more people out of abject poverty than anytime in the history of the planet” What?! None so blind as those who will not see. It’s perfectly clear which…

Other than the more moving parts issue is the question of what the user wants and why: perhaps there’s an issue of being in a less-than-private environment while working with private stuff, while another situation involves lighting conditions. Perha…

MplsP said: For all the people mocking QC, they have a long history and a lot of experience in processor design, so they're not exactly 'new' to the game. Ultimately, though, if they want to build a desktop-class processor, they need to have…

retrogusto said: Any thoughts on why the Pro would perform slightly better than the Max on the Geekbench multi-core test? Maybe the Max runs hotter, which would place it at a disadvantage in a test where both chips have ten identical cores? …

tht said: Still don't understand the reasons for going from 4 e-cores to 2 e-cores. Then, baselining 8 p-cores for the Jade SoC is also curious decision. They spent the transistors to double up the media blocks, in addition to the GPU cores. …

Not mentioned in the article is the importance of caches on the SoC, as main memory, no matter how fast you can buy it, is insufficient to get performance: latency to get or set anything in main memory is HUGE! The M1 Pro and M1 Max make a huge inve…

waveparticle said: Is M1 Max chip physically larger than M1 Pro? Yes, it has far more transistors. But, the chip itself doesn’t do more than be a partial determinant of the size of the package, which also includes the RAM, which are in s…

mcdave said: hackintoisier said: Not sure how the summaries listed correlate to the opinion that Intel is “under fire.” Also, Intel is ramping Alder Lake-S which probably will exceed M1 Max performance (albeit while consuming much mo…

tht said: Yeah, agree with the comments here. Intel will not be in trouble until MS supports ARM, and there is a competitive set of merchant ARM PC chips. They might be in trouble if ARM takes data center sales, but this is years out. Nvidia …

docno42 said: This has to be one of the dumbest rumors I've seen in a long time. However even if true, as others point out it will be in the menu bar. Will likely not bother me since I'm probably going with the 16" this time - but would suck…

For Apple Watch you have to code “complications” an actual term in the realm of watches. When Apple added the notch to iPhones they added an artificial actual complication in the name of… well, I suppose you can claim it gives more screen space for…
