wizard69 said: It really isn't much of a surprise the somebody has gotten QEMU running. On my MBA I've rebuilt a number of Mac Ports as native ARM apps with no problems. There are a few show stoppers, for example RUST isn't ready yet and …

MacPro said: Couldn't this be done using s new M1 specific Internet Recovery option? I think this is for the case when even the recovery partition is hosed. It is probably very uncommon.

I'd prefer that they optionally ship a Universal Binary. I understand that it would be bloated but it is only disk space not runtime bloat. I guess some very small SSDs might be constrained but for most of us, disk space is not at a premium.

I'm just in awe of the M1 SoC in the MacBook Air. I just did a benchmark comparison with Handbrake between my 2013 6C/12T Mac Pro and the M1 MacBook Air. Long story shortened, the M1 MBA blew away the Mac Pro. This was from a previously ripped and …

ednl said: Ok, the teardowns have been done! And, apparently, the Thunderbolt controller *is* part of the SoC, so my suspicion was wrong. Sorry. The part they found on the motherboard is an "Intel JHL8040R Thunderbolt 4 Retimer". That is a du…

MacPro said: jdb8167 said: The down side of Apple designing their own TB3 controller is compatibility. I have a 4K LG display that uses either HDMI or Display Port--not Thunderbolt like the high end 5K LGs. It has worked with TB ports …

MacQuadra840av said: Most consumers and businesses are not going to buy these first generation M1 MacBooks because they are severely compromised because they cannot support more than one external display. Many at home and at work use two ext…

ednl said: jdb8167 said: Why would they support 40 GB/s over TB3 and not USB4 which is mostly the same specification? Doesn't seem likely. If they have the bandwidth for 40 GB/s over TB3 they have enough for USB4 as well. Because t…

Dontmentionthewar said: Try benchmarking with 3DMark and see what this will do with the M1. I'm only seeing iPad/iOS apps in the App Store. And those are pretty old. Not seeing Wild Life for some reason. I can run Ice Storm I guess. Edit:…

ednl said: Mike Wuerthele said: ednl said: The USB 4 name is misleading. It's technically correct because the new specification doesn't mandate supporting the fastest speed (40 Gbps). The actual supported USB speed is 10 Gbps o…

verne arase said: The whole ARM Windows on Mac thing is pretty irrelevant - I believe that Apple's made changes to Apple Silicon with would make it more of a headache than something worthwhile. First off, Apple has eliminated ARMv7, the 32 b…

wood1208 said: No big deal but why stingy on ports when Apple now controlling most what goes inside out in M1 Macbook ? Give at-least 3 ports. Two on left like now but one on right side. Convenient to charge or use one side port when other s…

loopless said: You should all go to the dark side for a bit to hear all the gnashing of teeth in the "PC" world. Quite amusing.... The rant from PCWorld's Gordon Mah Ung was glorious in its nerd rage: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3…

MacPro said: I have a suspicion we are all going to be surprised at how much less RAM is needed with Apple's new technologies to achieve as good or better results. Everyone is judging the M1 by what just could be old school Intel thinking. …

Kind of fascinating to read all those old posts. Nearly all of them were negative or claiming that Apple would never do the Arm transition for one mistaken belief or another. This was a very good way to get some perspective on the Arm transition an…
