The M1 and M2 have the same number of cores. I suppose the fabric could have been improved for the M2.

Apple reused the exact same Intel chassis for their previous generation M1 MacBook Air and Pro 13”.

As far as I can tell, there is almost no reason for the 13” MBP to exist.

Ah, completely missed that slide. Thanks!

Have they confirmed anything about power?

Just graduated and, yes, we definitely still call it UIUC.

Nuvia by all accounts has an excellent team. IIRC, Qualcomm has redirected their efforts to laptop SoCs.

It took a team of very expensive lawyers to find that prior art on some old forum. I don't think the patent office has those kinds of resources for each application.

A good way is to have your data arranged in structs of arrays rather than in arrays of structs. This allows the compiler to generate code which just loads in linear sections of memory to SIMD registers. It’s also just more cache efficient i

Good point. Should have clarified I was referring to CPU SIMD.
432.
by skavi 4y ago
writing code for SIMD can get you absolutely massive performance improvements. Whether it's worth the added complexity depends on the situation. If your data is already arranged in a cache friendly way (SoA), it shouldn't be incre

Hopefully we'll see AVX-512 in Intel's little cores soon. Centaur's last CPU architecture proves that it is possible to implement the extension without a huge amount of area [0]. Once that happens, I expect we'll finally

I really can’t see the equivalency between a political stance (imo a movement for racial equality) and religion. The former mixes, often by necessity, with technical documents all the time. See GNU or the Apollo program. > In the concret

I'd encourage you to have a go at explaining nonetheless. I'm sure there are at least a few critiques you have which many here would miss, even if they are competent. There's always value in code review, no?

I do feel that BLM is a worthy cause to support. This is mainly because I feel the movement can be seen separately from any formal organizations or individual people. I understand how you may disagree. Regardless, the real disagreement seem

Would you mind going into why these banners make you feel unwelcome? Do you feel similarly about using the US Google homepage?

by skavi 4y ago
You’re comment and a sibling both express that these messages are off-putting to international audiences? Why is that? BLM originated in the US, but black people definitely experience racism elsewhere. The movement is not necessarily US exc

Yes, and anyone who had been reading AnandTech's excellent mobile reviews (by Andrei Frumusanu) knew what M1 would bring.

The default scaling is fractional on recent MacBooks.

The iPhone 13 Mini improved battery life significantly. The A15 series is significantly more efficient and they managed to increase the battery capacity. It should last somewhere in the range of 30% longer than the 12 Mini.

greybeard has always felt like a term of respect to me. personally i think of the type of person who could have been at bell labs in its heydays. definitely could exclude women though.

The Pixel 5 is closer in size to an iPhone 13 than a 13 Mini. IIRC it’s nearly the exact same size as an iPhone 11 Pro.

One thing I don’t think people appreciate is just how impressively compact the Minis are. Every bit of space is used up. I doubt any Android OEM (with the exception of maybe Samsung) could get make a comparable device. Unless they used some

The machines I’ve tried it on were a Dell Latitude with a Windows Precision touchpad and a friend’s Dell XPS 13 running debian. In fact in the second case, I recommended the app, and my friend rejected because he felt the touchpad scrolling

Sorry, I should have specified touchpad scrolling. (two finger drag)

by skavi 4y ago
This is a nice app, and the best pdf viewer i could find for windows. that said, the scrolling behavior sucks on both windows and a debian build i tried it on.

Graphics drivers seem to be more broken in the Android ecosystem if Dolphin Emulator’s Twitter is any indication.
