  • 27-inch iMac flash storage cannot be replaced or upgraded

    That's really a bummer. I bought the 2019 one and opened it up for upgrading the processor to 9900k, 2TB Flash and 32 GB of SDRAM and it was really a big money saver... With that i'd have second thoughts about buying a mac again.

  • How Apple A-series chips stack up against Intel Macs

    prismaticsprismatics
    It would have been more interesting to see a comparison between Ryzen 4000 Mobile and Apple A Processors.

    Bashing Intel is no news. Apple needs to beat AMD now, not Intel and this is much less likely given how perfect the recent AMD Notebooks have been considering the relevant metrics.
    Apple uses Intel processors not AMD. This article compares, not bashes current or relatively current Apple offerings to give an idea of how Apple Silicon is already doing an impressive work to keep up. 

    If Apple wanted to, they can take their Macs to 128bit or more. Imagine, for Mac Pros, multiple 256bit processors. Apple has now unleashed their potential.  Software developers now can do apps that cover all the Apple hardware. 
    While you seem to be randomly throwing bit count around without having the necessary technical understanding to do so, I would like to point out that Apple will not be competing against Intel based machines but AMD based ones. So it is well in the interest of the average reader to see how Apple can keep up with AMD.

    basically, educate yourself and learn something entirely new while additionally having to do multiple jobs to feed your family you can’t do anyways right now.
    It feels like abad joke...

    The A12Z Bionic is up to 8 GPU cores. The Most powerful and expensive GPUs have cores in the thousands. What would it take for Apple to create its own separate 500 core GPU SoC or maybe only a 100 core GPU with the ability to use several of them in a blade setup. There's nothing stopping Apple, other than patents, from making whatever they want to any way they want to. Look at the Mac Pro. It's a fantastic workstation. 
    Exactly. Look at their Afterburner Card. That’s a freaking monster, right there!
    Afterburner is not a GPU. It is an off-the-shelf FPGA with different strengths of which vertex calculations is none.
    Well if Apple wants to reinvent the 3D world, why just they don’t ask the countless game development studios.
