That sounds a lot like AI fantasy slop. Apple just shifted to N2. They’re not going to be doing another major shift right away. And TSMCs own roadmap would put your hallucination years away at best for a a product that follows a roughly ann

For reference , Fex is a translation framework for x86 to ARM much like Apple’s Rosetta2 and Microsoft’s Prism. Valve sponsor development as it’s also the way the new Steam Frame supports x86 games. It’s also being used (as a fork) in Cross

Tech communities like this skew more libertarian I find, which tends to be anti everything that isn’t immediately self serving.

Geekbench when run on Asahi Linux is practically the same as when run on macOS, just like Linux and Windows in the same x86 chip don’t give significant differences.

Because it ruffles x86 feathers, despite geekbench corresponding very closely to SPEC as well and there being no indication that the results aren’t comparable. What people willfully conflate this with often is that you shouldn’t compare FLO

You have that exactly backwards. The MacBook Neo released with the previous years A series Pro chip. It’s currently got an A18 Pro.

Your intuition here is wrong. Processors, not just Apple’s, change constantly between generations. The core instruction set doesn’t change, but they get new capabilities, not just with new instruction sets. Remember the SoC isn’t just the C

Sure, you can also have iOS binaries forward relevant iOS SDK symbols to macOS. That doesn’t mean they’re not different SDKs with different limitations, and not everything that is on the store can be patched to run in the simulator because

The simulator is a different SDK target than iOS itself. You have to compile completely independently for it, and depending on your dependencies they may not compile for the simulator. Additionally the simulator runs a really ancient and fe

HBM itself is very expensive but it’s not really fair to compare to LPDDR or GDDR They’re very different things. The more logical argument to me is that Apple uses its upgrade price points as more than just direct BOM and rather as a proxy

I’m not trying to say you shouldn’t be excited by it. But there’s a significant number of caveats to every single number you posted but you glossed over the points I made. And in being defensive, you jumped straight from the topic you were

I’m not sure I follow why the performance is “Insane” This is a M5 level chip that runs slightly within a ballpark of M5 wattage (afaik M5 is between 15W max on an iPad and 30W max CPU+GPU on a cooled Mac) This is running in a thermally unc

Oh yes, Claude seems to be loving the word vacuous recently. My test bed side project is full of vacuous this and that now. I even try and get it to define what it classifies as vacuous and it can’t do so without getting stuck in some kind

Ah fair, I forgot Panasonic owned Lumix. Though the lawsuits are more complex with multiple parties suing RED, of which Nikon also fought RED and ended up buying them out to win that side of the battle. On the panasonic side it was more of

Unless I’ve missed it; Lumix has nothing to do with this long standing patent battle. Could you elaborate on the supposed relationship?

I disagree with your assessment. My twitter feed pre and post Elon’s takeover changes dramatically. Pre his takeover , it would more reliably show me my niches of design, technology, gamedev etc After his take over I’d start seeing more and

Thank you very much for the corrections here. As someone else who has professionally worked in the film space, it always irks me when people talk about film in digital resolutions for the reason you mention. I also agree with many of your o

A post mortem is a very common term in many industries on how something went after you shipped it. You’re taking it very literally here, it does not involve anything being dead or killed. We’ve used this in the software, games, film and con

The commercial Autodesk apps still dominate, as do Maxon apps like C4D for motion graphics and zbrush for sculpting. The big problems are that license cost doesn’t outweigh the pain points. In production I can get support from Autodesk for

Do you have comparisons for Apple’s GPU to NVIDIA’s at the same power and thermals? Right now the M5 Max is one of the best laptop compute GPUs for blender rendering and doesn’t do too badly on raster tests either. But it operates at a frac

A lot of unreal engine games also fork the engine. If your bar is being forked then unreal doesn’t meet the bar for a lot of people either. 3D Engines of that fidelity are rarely genre specific. Editors might be but the engines are often fa

Oh I definitely agree the C-suite at Microsoft needs blame. Microsoft need everything to be framed as avenue into services. But Phil was the one who dug two incompatible holes and kept digging hoping they’d meet in the middle with buried tr

Okay so your entire argument hinges on her having the ear of Satya , and out arguing Phil? But even then you wouldn’t be able to deny that Xbox was floundering under Phil. And for all of this you’d still be left with conjecture?

How would Asha pull him out? How do you think she even had that kind of authority or seniority?
