Well, they compared both. But realistically, there’s always been three categories to personal compute and gaming. For lack of better words, mobile, portable and home use. Mobile was the gameboy and now the mobile phone. Portable back then w

While many native apps could be web apps, you’re ignoring a very large reasons for native apps: 1. Better UX and responsiveness for users, including better offline use. 2. Using native hardware APIs. How are you going to do things that requ

Idk where you live, but bags are not any more common in my experience than in the 90s. The more likely reality is that gamers have different expectations today. The kinds of games you’d play on everything prior to the 3DS are things you’d p

While screen sizes have increased since the game boy era, device sizes have not if you’re comparing to phones which are the true successor to that kind of casual gaming. The average mobile phone is smaller than most generations of game boy.

Apple is famously a company that encourages cross functional collaboration, as anyone who’s ever interviewed there could attest to, or known more than your friend. They’re secretive yes, but also collaborative. You can even read any account

Apple have both a memory safe dialect of C (called firebloom) and are working on making a subset of Swift for safe, embedded use. Idk if the xnu kernel will adopt those but it seems most likely.

But even then, what benchmarks contradict it? You’re claiming an inherent bias, but other benchmarks also run just as well on Apple Silicon when normalized for core count. Cinebench, Specs etc…

This is a claim that has never been backed up by anything verifiable. Could you expand upon it?

I take it you have never applied for a work visa? You may get denied several times over things outside your control. She is one of many, many people who have had a success visa after prior failed attempts.

At the scale of Google, both claims can be true. Different teams are responsible for their hiring and management, so might have their own biases.

It’s hard to take someone like you seriously when you look at that page and single out a set of the work, which requires you to ignore the papers that include or are mostly Disney researchers.

Disney still is highly innovative in the technology space. Perhaps you’re just not familiar with their work? https://www.disneyresearch.com/ https://youtube.com/@disneyresearchhub?si=6f1K4hWm6Tg6N18E

Bad game example because cyberpunk with raytracing is coming to macOS and will run on this.

You’re completely missing the point. The ANE is not equivalent as a component to the tensor cores. It has nothing to do with comparison of TOPs but as what they’re intended for. Try and use the ANE in the same way you would use the tensor c

by dagmx 2y ago
Could you provide a link for that TOPS count? (And specifically TOPs with comparable unit sizes since NVIDIA and Apple did not use the same units till recently) The only similar number I can find is for TFLOPS vs TOPS Again I’m not saying t
466.
by dagmx 2y ago
The ANE and tensor cores are not comparable though. One is literally meant for low cost inference while the others are meant for acceleration of training. If you squint, yeah they look the same, but so does the microcontroller on the GPU an

by dagmx 2y ago
Care to share the TOPs numbers for the Apple GPUs and show how this would “grossly overstate” the numbers? Apple won’t compete with NVIDIA, I’m not arguing that. But your opening line will only make sense if you can back up the numbers and

by dagmx 2y ago
But I’m not ignoring the power/performance ratio? If anything, you are doing that by handwaving away the difference. Give me a comparable system build where the NVIDIA GPU + any CPU of your choice is running at the same wattage as an M

by dagmx 2y ago
M2 Ultra is ~250W (averaging various reports since Apple don’t publish) for the entire SoC. 5090 is 575W without the CPU. You’d have to cut the Nvidia to a quarter and then find a comparable CPU to normalize the wattage for an actual compar

by dagmx 2y ago
You're comparing two different things. The compute level you’re talking about on the M3 Ultra is the neural engine. Not including the GPU. I expect the GPU here will be behind a 5090 for compute but not by the unrelated numbers you’re

Very cool to see a new entry into the modem market. Obviously not available for anyone other than Apple, but I’m interested to see how it shapes up over time much like their SoC has done. This has been a long time coming since Apple bought

There’s a significant difference between open source and proprietary software. With proprietary software you usually have a corporate mandate, a goal etc to achieve. Any new tech is achieved as part of that drive. You can get people on boar
