I think the breakdown is with native/non-native apps and specific build systems. Pretty much all the native apps that get updated for M1 are universal binaries. Xcode is (all things being relative) pretty good at making this work semi-

Yep, I think it's interesting to note how slow x86 was in general with refcounting even compared to the PowerPC era. It's something that showed early on quite a lot when you compared what was considered light usage at that point i

For many different reasons too ! Some were a bit petty/misguided : - Microsoft was mostly contractual on the Xbox, Nvidia didn't want to lower the price of the chips over the lifespan of the 1st Xbox which was a huge no-no. And so

It's definitely a solution when you have an app (assuming you have a 3rd party source of identification of users), but since it's a French key, a sizeable portion of people, mostly elderly, are not using the "official" a

As part of my former job I used to follow AMD very closely and I have to say that while maybe misplaced in some ways, she deserves all the praise she gets and then some. Some context, when she took over, not only was the CPU division in sha

That's the first confirmation I see of it too, and I followed that pretty closely a while back. We knew they had both at x86-64 and a ARMv8 project running at the same time (K12 was the ARMv8) but it never was really spelled out how th

TL;DR: C-States improve performance. I'm not sure calling C-States throttling is completely accurate, at least not in the way that you imply. Modern CPUs have multiple mechanisms that can be called throttling in some way, but C-States

Apple kicked Nvidia out of its product line a long while ago, after Nvidia tried to collect licensing fees on every iPhone sales for their GPU IP. They launched their legal actions with Samsung first, and it backfired spectacularly. [1] I b

But that's the thing, they have reached a compromise regarding iMessage being "E2EE" by keeping all those avenues (iCloud backups and iMessage on iCloud) that essentially trade E2EE for the convenience. Most users opt-in to t

Yep, Apple currently only scans iCloud Mail attachements (I believe they confirmed this, don't have the source at hand though), which explains the discrepancy. There's a big difference though between scanning a library (which is c

Interesting thought but Apple never gives choice on much (well except Safari UI now!), and I don't see them giving an explicit choice on this. If they really had for a goal to implement E2EE, I could maybe see this now that you are men

Very interesting read. Side question : my initial assumption on Apple's announcement was that they (like everyone else) were using PhotoDNA. Apple's own perceptual hash has been found in current iOS and macOS releases, do we actua

Also, I'm not sure if it's a Safari 15 beta thing or just a Safari thing, but the hovers don't work on Safari 15 beta from macOS Monterey either. They work fine on Firefox though.

Completely agree on everything. That's the reason we didn't review laptop CPUs when I reviewed CPUs. You can get exact CPU power draw on a desktop motherboard (by using an amp clamp on the P8 connector) but it's hard (or not

No, the TDP is configurable up to 25W (and down to 10). Again check the link of the score distribution I put in another comment, it's all over the place, and the passmark results are not a reliable comparison at that point.

by cwizou 5y ago
Check the sibling comments, your CPU (like most mobile Intel/AMd) can be configured for different TDPs by the OEMs, so you can't compare anything, especially not PassMark results.

Well in that case both are made by TSMC so it's comparable. But PassMark results in general are not that great (they use micro benchmarks that may not be representative or are optimised for by vendors). More importantly, as pointed out
