DuhSesame said: So you can reach full turbo on all cores? Have you tried Prime95 or even LinPack? Since you asked for it - here is Intel's MKL version of Linpack running on 4 cores on my laptop. It would be easy to say "Look at that thrott…

DuhSesame said: So you can reach full turbo on all cores? Have you tried Prime95 or even LinPack? Are you talking about during startup? If so - then yeah - while the CPU is cold it will burst pretty high (but not to the 4.1GHz max) even if y…

pascal007 said: If it was only the CPU taking a breather, as you say, the task would still be performed faster. Yet, as Lee showed, the task is performed faster (or as fast) using a i7 CPU compared to the i9, so there is a real performance prob…

Mike Wuerthele said: This is why we used Cinebench. We know that there are no breaks in instruction intensity. EDITED: Mike, something was messed up with my view of the forum and I now saw your reply. Thanks for saying you'll try the simple…

BTW - as a way of comparison... Here's a quick run of our custom scientific simulation software using 4 cores in my 2017 MBP that with a 3.1GHz i7-7920HQ that can turbo to 4.1 GHz: As you can see it looks like it's thermal throttling - but it's …

xiao-zhi said: This is not a new or unexpected problem. The top top end processor for MBP or similar thin form factor notebooks is seldom the optimum performance solution in real terms due to thermal throttling and power consumption. Typic…

I love my (original) Orbi system - and I have a whole house full of Homekit stuff and haven't had any problems. In my old house, I stopped using the satellite because it's only 1500 sq ft and the base station alone covered everything well enough. …

claire1 said: There has to be better button placement. I agree! Just don't have the volume buttons directly across from the power button. I don't know how this has gone on for so long. I would still love to have to power button on top...

Just bought a new car in November. CarPlay was a must: but you should know that not all CarPlay screens are equal either. In my testing the Ford implementation was way beyond the competition: biggest, clearest screen, most responsive and best soun…

Everyone loves to hate on every accessory maker and talk about how "in the good old days cables / networking gear was rock solid". It's all just rosy glasses looking backward. Linksys, for instance, currently has one of the best reviewed mesh wifi…

My suggestion: use the command-line: cd the/directory ls -1 (that's a "dash" and then a "one" after ls)

Soli said: friedmud said: I may end up with one. I have a Series 0 Watch, iPhone X and AirPods... so I could use it. Will it work with Series 0 since that's not the Qi standard? Dunno - one of the things I'll wait to find out.

I may end up with one. I have a Series 0 Watch, iPhone X and AirPods... so I could use it. But I do like to have my phone "sitting up" on my nightstand. For that I have a decent plug-based phone dock on my nightstand and at work I grabbed a Qi Wi…

genovelle said: So, what commands are you using on these other devices that makes them more useful. I’m really curious here. I’ve seen lots of claims but no proof. In fact when Siri has been compared I feel it is more useful in real use situa…

It's hard to see how Facebook could make a dent here. If they would have done this a couple of years ago then maybe. The problem is that one of the major reasons to get a smart speaker is for home automation and there are already _three_ entrenche…

jdgaz said: " ....have given the HomePod good grades for audio quality, but sharply criticized Siri as weak next to the AI assistants in...." Honestly when I want a speaker the first thing I gauge is sound quality. So, in my book Apple focu…

Damn all of you people are cheap! I'm no millionaire... but $35 a month barely even registers... especially for something I'll use every day. (If you don't watch much TV that's something altogether different) With Verizon I was paying ~$250 per mo…
