I seriously doubt Apple would take such a big step as switch cpu architecture, if they didn’t already know how to make the first few cpu generations. That would be way too risky. If I were Tim, I would have needed a 5-10 year detailed road

There also seem to be general problems with objects disappearing when they are obscured by other objects, and then reappear later, when no longer obscured. It is ridiculous, that the model doesn’t keep track of objects, and assume they cont

It is about picking a safer and possibly better alternative costing a few weeks delay. In Denmark, at least among the people I talk to, there isn't much confidence in AZ. The feeling is that Moderna or Pfizer are safer with higher prot

The M1 Tensorflow-branch doesn't use Neural Engine (ANE). However, it does use the M1-GPU. The M1 GPU is about 1/3 the speed of a 1080TI card when looking at OpenCL score in Geekbench, but may perform faster than that in some case

Yes, that's the M1X rumor, but that isn't going to be enough to compete with high-end CPUs in iMac and Mac Pros. For those, we have the 32-core rumor (but that is a massive die). And doubling the M1-GPU will not be enough to even

I wonder what they'll do for "M1X" and pro-machines? Seems like heat isn't an issue, so can they increase the clock-speed of the M1? And will they create a larger die with 2xGPU and 2xCPUs, or will they "stitch&quot

The M1 gpu is able to do 2.5 tflops while 1080 is said to be able to do 8 tflops. From Geekbench it also looks like the m1 gpu is about 1/4-1/3 as powerful as a 1080. The m1 may benefit from faster ram and shared memory though. Ap

Yes. Agreed. Header files really kill productivity in C++ projects as they grow beyond 1-500.000 lines. I admit, sometimes I work around or postpone a fix in a vital header file, because I know it will initiate a recompile and undesired wai

The current M1 has 4 firestorms. Geekbench gives a score of ~7400 for the M1s. Assuming the firestorms represent some 80% of the CPU power and multiplying by 6 (6x4=24), we would get a Geekbench score around 35000. That would place it betwe
