rob53 said: bobolicious said: "Apple would also not be beholden to Intel" - is this ironic in that Apple now seems to make (almost) every move to increase customer dependence on a proprietary Apple ? You do realize Apple is using A…

imat said: Looking forward to ARM MacBook Pro. If it proves to be powerful enough it might be interesting. But not on the first iteration because, probably, software will have to be re-written to take full advantage of it. I still remember th…

I’ve completed my second day of work-from-home at MS in King county, WA since the official word is people are recommended to work from home if they can, for those in the Redmond area. While I’m not above 50 (close!) I do fall into a higher-risk cat…

As important as the chips are for national security, it’s insane that they’d ever be allowed to have their IP into some place directly by threat of an adversarial country, no matter how good the price: that’s strategic suicide to do that, even if th…

rob53 said: FUD from Intel to try and slow down Apple's migration to i's own chips. Intel won't come out with these any time soon. Single CPU clock speed seems to still be important because too many applications are not programmed to make use…
