DAalseth said: Maybe Apple has decided that €50 million is just the cost of doing business. Yeah, just to do a little perspective on this. Using the back of the napkin math... Apple made $34.6 Billion USD profit last quarter. Convert …

libertymatters said: Pretty devastating, the Max is almost half the GPU performance against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 on the Geekbench 5 OpenCL test. The whitewashed spin here by AppleInsider is inappropriate. You do know that OpenCL ha…

mike54 said: Will the M2 chip be ARMv9 or not? Good question. I'm going to speculate and assume it won't. If the M2 came out later this fall, I think it would have had a chance. It seems too early for it now. I'd be surprised if the A…

tht said: That's not throttling. That's designing the system to operate at 90 Watts, given all the constraints and features they want. We can call it "pre-throttling", a "performance governor", etc. Either way, the M1 Max isn't running at capa…

I don't care how thin it is. I just want to make sure it has sufficient cooling and airflow to run the device at peak performance without having to throttle. We can see that the M1 Max chips in the new MacBook Air are throttled for a peak of about…

davidw said: Can you imagine all the crybaby Spotify CEO like game developers, that will be crying that Apple is unfairly competing on their own platform, by promoting their own games? No. That's just the point. The Mac platform does not ha…

Marvin said: techconc said: Yeah, this rumor doesn't really make much sense to me. I think we all agree that if there is going to be an iMac Pro, it would more likely be an M1 Max Duo configuration. That's really the only thing that ma…

AppleZulu said:To your point, the Mac platform was never great for gamers, but it was at least tenable for many that were interested in games as a secondary function for their machine. Apple has a gaming problem on the Mac platform that needs t…

tht said: It really should be an M1 Max Duo on the top end for the "iMac Pro". The Intel iMac Pro had options for an 18 core Xeon, a Radeon Pro 64X, and it's been about 4 years since the machine debuted. A 12-core is not much of a CPU perf in…

foregoneconclusion said: techconc said: Apple needs a dedicated gaming version of the AppleTV with much beefier specs. No, they don't. Apple has chosen to go in the direction of non-fragmentation, where the same games will work across …

elijahg said: Nvidia didn't want ARM for the graphics, since ARM doesn't make graphics cores. Apple's graphics cores are ultimately from/based around Imagination Technologies in the UK. I'd imagine they were on the road to making their own phon…

viclauyyc said: Even Apple buy half of AAA list games on the market, I don’t expect to see people will rush to buy a Mac just to play these games. Hardcore gamer has a long history of dislike/hate Mac/Apple. They might just not to play these ga…

highframerate said: The M1 Max is not "great hardware" for gaming because the GPU only performs between the level of an Nvidia 3060 and 3080, which are available in x86 machines that cost under $1000. Yes Mac sales are at record levels ... bu…

gatorguy said: A few carriers not yet on board is exactly why Google wants Apple to adopt RCS. As soon as they do all carriers will be pressured to support it. IMO they would have no choice not to. In the meantime, those particular carriers con…
