winston2010 said: If I were Apple, I would make a x86 instructions compatible processor with ARM core. Modern Intel processors used the same technique with RISC-like core and x86 microcode. This way, no transition issues, if not 100% compat…

rob53 said: What about GPU performance? Is it good enough for an ARM Mac? An ARM Mac would probably have its own processor since a MacBook Pro has much different I/O requirements. If it did share a processor, it would be with the iPad si…

echosonic said: This is the most overblown BS I have seen in my lifetime. Pure hype. The entirety of the American media should be dissolved for creating this panic. Corona killed what, less than 100 Americans? Swine Flu killed 23,000 Amer…

As far as Catalyst goes, it would probably less about Arm and more about the Bionic processor and GPU. Arm vs Intel is otherwise very similar.

loopless said: Anyone who works in or develops HPC software cringes at this. Sure it's likely you can make an ARM chip with the performance of high-end Xeons, but the world of HPC software is a million years away from XCode app development w…

Nice! I’ve wanted better cursor repositioning. Now just need easier multitasking. Something as simple as returning to the home screen for half of a split screen would help significantly. Probably not happening any time soon, but as iPads are ge…

GeorgeBMac said: I don't see how a Post-Jobs Apple could hope to compete against Musk. The success of both was largely / mostly due to an overwhelming and obsessive drive to accomplish a lofty goal. Musk has it. Steve did too. Tes…

As long as we’re speculating, I could see Apple release two Macs. One based on iPad internals for an MBA that uses a single chip with iOS class SSD and RAM. This one will be super thin and light. No thunderbolt support. Another based on a new hi…

OutdoorAppDeveloper said: Sounds cool. I wonder what developers could do with the new spec if iOS had an actual WiFi SDK? I guess we will never know. Err. They do have an API for 802.11ay it would be the NSNetService and MultipeerConnectiv…

Watch VirnetX's "Gabriel Collaboration Suite" quietly disappear after they win their settlement. That product has zero customers and only exists to show that they have an implementation of their overly broad patents.

xyzzy01 said: I wonder why? It's not like Wifi6 / 802.11ax isn't plenty fast enough - and then some, by orders of magnitude - for a phone. 802.11ay isn't finished yet (note: This is not the successor to Wifi 6), and while it is even faster,…

Soli said: Maybe, but with iPhones supporting 802.11ax/WiFi6, relatively few users using WiFi6 routers, and Macs still without WiFi6, I don't see 802.11ay happening this year so close to the draft. Remember that 802.11ay is the new version…

Sounds like the right thing to do. They will likely be forced to do this eventually. Might as well do it on your own terms. Particularly for Mail and Maps, I'm sure this is a point of frustration for some users that could lead to Android looking …

Specs in the "Processor" category are significantly different with Apple having a huge lead, but spec-to-spec comparisons are often misleading since they don't show the whole picture or are hard to quantify with a single number or spec. There are l…

I was wondering if their investment in Magic Leap was their play in this space. That comment sounds more like they don't know what they're doing and still trying to figure out a strategy. I'm not sure that fully closed door development is a good i…

Kopfschmerzen said: Still not sure why others can’t achieve what Apple can in chip design. And, while every editorial praises Apple’s approach (concentrating on premium devices only), there must be companies making cheap devices. There’s …
