Benchmarks for iMac with unreleased Intel processor & Radeon Pro surface
...or, for desktop machines at least, perhaps the same energy with 4 times the performance...red oak said:Intel is incapable of making a cooler running CPU. It is really sad what has happened to that once great company. These iMacs will serve as portable room heatersApple Silicon is going to use one half the energy (or better) with better performance.

Here is everything Apple killed -- or tried to kill -- at WWDC 2020
Windows will be a available in some form under Virtualization. The only question is what form that will take.WarrenBuffduckh said:I hope someone can explain Cupertino what common corporate regulations say:
No Bootcamp or Parallells => No windows solution => No Mac

So, if Apple implements a feature that is nice, but not essential, but which relies on hardware that turns out to be somewhat unreliable, or that is impractical going forward; what should Apple do?elijahg said:Force touch is going away on the watch?? Bleh. I find it really useful and much quicker than hunting through menus especially on a small screen. The current implementation is a bit crap though. You have to go around force touching everything to find out what is force touchable, and then try and remember. A simple indication of some sort, maybe a subtle screen edge glow or something similar would have been a good indicator so you knew immediately that you could force touch.
On a different note, I am not sure about the legality of them essentially abandoning hardware in existing watches. They're actually removing functionality that has existed since the watch was purchased. That seems a bit unreasonable to me.
Remember, we aren’t talking about a bay-soldered display controller, or some other hardware that directly affects the base functionality of the device; but rather, provides a more-convenient way of doing something that can be done without requiring said hardware.
There is no “cause of action here. It was a nice idea for a timesaver that just didn’t work out. Happens.

Why the Mac's migration to Apple Silicon is bigger than ARM
Do you think you really need 4k video to do video chats with the subject being your face (or junk) 4 inches away from the lens? WTF else do you plan to do with a laptop’s lid-mounted, front-facing camera; shoot the next 8k installment of The Hobbit?!?cpsro said:Ah, so the lousy webcam in most Macs is because of Intel.

It seems like planned obsolescence to me.
Seems like useless feature-checklisting to me.

I used to worry about that; but after seeing what they can already accomplish with a 2-generations-old iPad SoC (with perhaps half its Cores tied behind its back), I have no doubt that, by the time they are ready to transition the Mac Pro, they will blow the doors off of it!!!darthw said:Will it be possible, eventually, for Apple to make faster SoCs than the fastest most powerful intel Xenon chips?
