- Shitty-kitty 5mo agoLike gaming consoles they calculated that unified memory will be cheaper for them in the long run. The funny thing is that while it gave them a unintended edge on local A.I, the "cheaper" calculation, didn't work out so well for them.
- fragmede 5mo agoIn what way hasn't it worked out for Apple? Some of their products are totally sold out.
- Shitty-kitty 5mo agoThey are limiting sku's on everything but highest end. The ramocalips is hitting high end RAM, especially hard.
- russelg 5mo agoEven on the highest end, the M3 Ultra at 512gb RAM doesn't exist anymore :'( Actually, I went to the Mac Studio configure page on Apple.com and you can't do higher than 96GB now...
- stingraycharles 5mo agoI think they have a longer lead, considering how long they’ve been making iPhone A-style processors. Migrating the desktop ecosystem to it was only the logical next step.
