Early benchmarks prove M1 iPad Pros are 50% faster than previous generation
Your comment is entirely misplaced in the current circumstances. Even the previous iPad Pro was/is a wild beast in performance. And Apple improved that beastly performance further. It is natural for anyone to ask the question - Hardware improvements are good, but what about the software which has been behind the curve for this device ALREADY for few years?lkrupp said:
So this article announces that the new iPad Pro is a wild beast in performance and what do we get in the forum posts? Bitching, whining, dissatisfaction, ‘not good enough’, "too bad it doesn’t have...” “I would buy one if it has this or that” Nothing is good enough, nothing satisfies. What a Debbie Downer AI forums are... all the damn time.

The critics were impossibly wrong: Apple CEO Tim Cook was -- and is -- the right person fo...
Well said!!! That was exactly what I was thinking when i read @lkrupp's comment. There was NOTHING offensive in @MplsP's post. That was a silly, unwarranted rant.Japhey said:
Did he say he hated Cook? Was Jobs’ name even mentioned? I must have missed that.lkrupp said:
Oh, and they were perfect under Jobs? Deal with your Cook hatred.MplsP said:Apple hasn't been perfect since Tim took the helm but I would agree with the article; overall they are doing well.Why are you such a dick at all times? You could just pass right on by, but instead actively choose to drop in and share your negative energy with everyone. You obviously have significant hate issues of your own to deal with. Try meditation. Or marijuana.

Wistron reorganizes India management structure as iPhone assembly resumes
Can you please share the link that you are reading, which came to the conclusion that it had something to do with the caste system?sflocal said:My understanding is that the rioters did what they did because their managers were essentially screwing their workers on pay, and also for that neanderthal caste system on them.I wonder what happened to those managers that did that stuff. Firing would not be enough. They should be in jail. Anyone that thinks it's okay to pre-judge a person and deny them equality simply because they are on some stupid lower "class" than you just shows how no-class you actually are.

WhatsApp will disable messages unless users agree to new privacy policy
How about Musk?GeorgeBMac said:longpath said:Zuckerberg’s antics is more than justification for ceasing to use any of the systems he has control over. While I miss some folks on the periphery of my network, staying connected with them wasn’t worth the exposure to Zuckerberg and his megalomania.Say what you will, but Zuckerberg is the last one left standing of the original batch of tech entrepreneurs who changed the world.JobsGatesBezosPage... All gone or retired...That may be a mean, cruel, cynical twist on the saying "We save the best for last".

Intel 'Alder Lake' chips take same approach as Apple's ARM designs
On the mobile phones, Yes, I agree with you that the performance differences are NOT visible to the majority of the mainstream users/use cases. But on the laptop/desktop low/midrange market, I don't agree with you that CPU has reached a "fast enough" stage. I am currently using a windows 10 laptop with i5 8th Generation, 8GB of RAM and it is fairly slow for my needs. I do wish it were faster on multiple occasions. An M1 powered laptop would be far faster and does make a significant difference to the day-to-day user experience.GeorgeBMac said:techconc said:
The majority of computers sold today are laptops. The biggest constraints for laptops are performance, battery life and of course size / form factor. Any other feature (like mini-led screens, etc.) are effectively commodity items than anyone can incorporate into their product. There will never be a x64 based device that can match Apple Silicon in that primary metric. As such, those who "shrug" this major change are effectively showing a lack of vision. The M1 is just a taste of what's to come. Wait until a beefier "M1x" variant is put in a 16" MacBook Pro for example. Intel has no effective response to that. Alderlake isn't going to bring any sense of parity there.GeorgeBMac said:Yeh, the M1 is probably better than the x86. But the processor is only a single component of a computer. And, today, it is no longer the limiting factor for the vast majority of users.It's not a matter of lack of vision.It's more like a shrug.The M1 however WILL benefit the Macs in ways that WinTel will never be able to touch: It will enable Macs to integrate into what truly sets Apple hardware apart: Apple's ecosystem of integrated components where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
However, ultimately, Apple's chips will do little more than have the industry take notice and begin to accept that the future of desktop (and server) computing is likely going to be ARM based. It's up to ARM / Qualcomm / Microsoft to actually come up with a real alternative to Apple's SoCs to push ARM out in scale for the rest of the PC market.Yes, the processor is a major component. But processors, for most people have reached the equivalent of 350hp engines in cars -- more just doesn't get you to the grocery store any faster.My grandson just moved up from his iPhone Xr with an A12 processor to a far faster iPhone 12 Pro with a far faster A14 processor. But, he can't tell the difference!But, the M1 will open other doors for Apple by enabling Macs to better integrate into Apple's ecosystem and become a more seamless part of the whole.
