- mrweasel 10y agoWell yes, but the question posed in the article is stupid. Apple and Microsoft aren't using "such old processors". They are using the previous generation, because that's what was available to them. Both companies, according to the article, where in fact using the very latest GPUs and CPU on the market, had Intel and Nvidia not released new chips just as Apple and Microsoft where beginning production.
- dahart 10y agoPretty sure, given the title and the goading, incredulous comments throughout, like "What's up with that?" and "Why?" and "I asked reps from both companies why they’d elected to go with older CPUs and GPUs when the new ones should have been able to slot into their devices with relative ease." and "In the case of Microsoft, it’s frustrating, because that old GPU is significantly slower than the Pascal GPUs available. The gorgeous Surface Studio appears hamstrung as a consequence."
