PC market got hammered in Q3, but Apple saw massive Mac shipment growth
A bit hard to believe this growth is real! IDC probably made some sort of mistake, especially when see that it projected a 20% decline in Apple’s sales in the 2nd quarter, while Gartner projected 10% growth. This kind of big swings don’t make any sense.

Adding water cooling to the Mac Studio does surprisingly little
"low performance change was cited as the M1's "turbo boost" being "really terrible,""
How can they call something that does not exist terrible? Seems like they missed how the M1 Max is meant to behave.
Also weird is that when they first tested that machine a few months ago, the Cinebench score was above 12300, just like most other cinebench scores out there, so one would assume that there isn’t really any advantage, on the contrary.

There is no throttling, it runs at the same speed because the M1 Max doesn’t consume like a desktop class processor. That is its nature, it isn’t designed to behave like Intel CPUs with turbo boosts, with high clock speeds.hmlongco said:Based on earlier tests I'm pretty sure that Apple is throttling the system regardless of chip temperature. There's no reason in the world why a M1 Max in a MBP should run at the same speed as a M1 Max in a Studio with a desktop-class cooling system and when not limited by battery life... but it does.

New MacBook Pro expected before end of 2022 with 5nm chips
Then who would be TSMC’s client in the first half of 2023???? Intel has already been ruled out because it delayed its chips from TSMC.
It’s not like Apple developed a M2 Max for the MacBooks and created another M2 Max for the desktops.

Jony Ive's exit from Apple caused by company culture changes and growing frustration
The problem with this analysis is that it misses that Ive was great at Apple because he had Jobs own vision as a counter weight, they fed on each other ideas.
After Jobs there was no one to fill that void.
