  • Samsung prepares to raise chip production prices by up to 20%

    9secondkox29secondkox2
    Ridiculous. 

    The sooner companies leave China in the dust, the better. 
    LOL Samsung is a South Korean company. Where do you live? Mars? 
    Read the article. Everyone knows where Samsung is from. They don’t make all the parts. 

    It’s ok to be less abrasive when wondering where someone else is coming from.

    Or buy it and fix the issue? 
    He’s already paying well over the actual value. 

    1. This shows the pure incompetence of current Twitter leadership. 

    2. You wouldn’t buy a house with a broken foundation. That’s pretty close to equivalent here. Let the owners invest in fixing the issue and get it purchaseable. 

    3. I believe Elon will follow through with purchase regardless. But doing what he can to avoid inheriting someone else’s issues - and the blame for the other folks’ incompetence. 

    4. Stock manipulation of Tesla isn’t going to last forever, no matter the DOJs illegal threats to harm Tesla if this civilian buys a civilian company.

    Hope it looks NOTHING like those renders. Looks like a cheap chrome book made by fisher price.

  • New iMac Pro and M3 iMac coming, but not in 2022

    As I said. 

    Much to the chagrin of some a month ago who were riding “the iMac is discontinued” line hard. A hiatus is not discontinued. 

    The m1 series just wasn’t ready for a true modern iMac Pro. The Studio is a nice stopgap like the old iMac Pro was. The ultra chip has been revealed to need some design review in order to unleash its full potential. More forgivable in something like the Studio vs a Mac Pro or iMac Pro. 

    It’s an amazing machine that fills in the gap while we wait for the high end iMac. The coming Mac Pro makes the Studio somewhat redundant, though on a lower tier. It could stick around between the Mac mini and Mac Pro, but it would make iMac pricing strategies a bit problematic. 

    While the m3 is “in the works,” it doesn’t equate to availability. With m2 launching in the fall this year, we could see m3 one year later. So this timeline sounds right. M1 went on a bit long, but that’s due to apple expanding the lineup and getting processes right. They have a path to follow now so things will speed up. 
    Apparently Apple did not receive your memo.

    Apple confirmed to Ars that the 27-inch iMac has reached end of life.

    There's no reason for a hiatus when they managed both an M1 iMac and a Studio display. Gurman is just doing what all analysts do when they have wrong predictions. To avoid it being a stain on their record, they try to spin it into a later timeline and eventually they stop mentioning it until people forget they said it. One of them kept going on about Apple making a TV for years. Gurman said an iMac Pro was coming this year:

    https://www.imore.com/gurman-next-imac-pro-likely-look-bigger-imac-better-chips

    He was wrong. Permanent stain on record. Remember it every time he says something and pretends it's inside info.

    The 27" Studio display costs $1600, the entry Mac Studio is $2000, that would make the entry non-XDR iMac Pro $3600 unless they had M1 Pro at the entry level. Either way, it would leave a significant gap between it and the M1 iMac and wouldn't offer anything over a Mac Studio + Studio display.
    While I hear what you are saying, 

    it’s also a fact that the previous iMac 5k was a much better deal than the apple studio plus studio display. And it was packing some great Intel performance for it’s day. 

    Apple is milking a setup they created in order to do exactly that. I do believe the ultra does not run as cool as they’d like without handicapping it a bit as shown in various testing. That makes sense to not force it into an iMac chassis. The m2 version will be more efficient and the m3 will likely hecc be where it all comes together. 

    I do remember the 32” info. Then it gave way to the 27”. That makes all the sense in the world given the iMac was delayed and the studio was given the green light. 

    Going to make one heck of a “one more thing” when it’s ready.
