mattinoz said:Remember the Pad sized WebOS device from HP basically shipped and was killed in the same month so they sold them off on the cheap. So annoyed I didn't grab one was better than early iPad in many ways that iPad is finally catching u…

rcfa said: I assume this leaves the neural processors completely unused? What about the GPU? Are graphics done just with the CPU thanks to the shared memory architecture? Or is there sufficient documentation/reverse engineering around, to all…

GeorgeBMac said:Actually, he was right!Up until about the 5th generation or so of the iPhone, Palm had a better OS and a better phone. And, even then, they developed a new and improved OS that just never got off the ground. So, I think he was …

Happy_Noodle_Boy said: You might want to re-read what I said. I specifically said that Intel didn't own the remainder of the business, I sad they owned the majority of it and as you have pointed out that is in fact true. Further Apple isn't 1…

GeorgeBMac said:Yes, the processor is a major component. But processors, for most people have reached the equivalent of 350hp engines in cars -- more just doesn't get you to the grocery store any faster. My grandson just moved up from his iPhone X…

mcdave said: I always saw the new Mac Pro as a ‘grudge’ product for Apple - they had to adopt current workstation architecture because customers ‘needed’ it (some do by the way). I thought Apple saw the iMac Pro as their real Pro product as …

Happy_Noodle_Boy said: Apple was 8% of the PC market in the last quarter and is usually 6-7%, yes they spend a ton of money on Intel but they are by no means a "HUGE" account, the rest of the 92% of the market mostly uses Intel and that isn't c…

crowley said: I'm not thrilled about it, but I think you're probably right. I wonder if the development of the MPX module and the Afterburner card were partially motivated by Apple wanting to dip their toe in and test their prowess in the high…

cloudguy said: Sigh. Even Ars Technica claims that Intel's Alder Lake is a response or was influenced by/a ripoff of the M1. Shows you how the media just puts a pro-Apple spin on everything. In reality Intel is merely adopting the big.LITTLE …
-
GeorgeBMac said: Yeh, the M1 is probably better than the x86. But the processor is only a single component of a computer. And, today, it is no longer the limiting factor for the vast majority of users. It's not a matter of lack of vision.It…

cloudguy said: OK. Say Intel goes belly up in 5 years. 1. Apple had 8% market share last quarter. Presume that they maintain it - it has dropped to as little as 5% in the past - or even increases to 10%. Good for Apple. Now, what operating s…

canukstorm said: They’ve had a true ARM version of Windows for two years now but so far it’s hardly gained any traction with users or developers. I can assure you that Apple has sold more M1 Macs in the last two months than the combined total…

rcfa said:So intel’s 10nm is like TSMC’s 7nm Yes, that's partially true. Intel's 10nm process has a transistor density of 100.76 (MTr/mm2) which is roughly equivalent to TSMC's 1st generation 7NFF process (96.5) but significantly less than TSM…

tht said: Waiting, waiting, waiting... iPad Pro with miniLED and 8 GB of RAM are my minimum requirements to replace my 2017 iPad Pro 10.5. Would be cool if Apple offered a 16 GB RAM option. Also cool if they turned on the page file in iPadOS…

danvm said: techconc said:LOL... no. Face ID > Windows Hello > Android Face Unlock. Technically, all three of these technologies perform the same generic function. How they perform that function and how secure they are is very di…

lkrupp said: For all the yammering about people wanting a smaller phone that went on here I guess reality says otherwise. You can't really make that conclusion based on size alone though. Unfortunately, buying a mini means buying a phone wi…

danvm said:Second, I didn't say I didn't say that acquiring a company is copying. My point is that Windows Hello was so good that Apple had to acquire the same company to create a Windows Hello / Kinect copy. It's obvious that Apple couldn't m…

cloudguy said: According to what I have read, Samsung is 1 quarter behind TSMC, not 6 months. But that is academic anyway. Apple always comes out with devices featuring their new chips in September. Devices with the new Qualcomm and Samsung c…

danvm said: It looks like Hololens is useful enough for Toyora and MB USA to be in a production environment. And like I posted before, I don't think that something has to be commonly used to be considered innovative, don't you think? I think …
