M1 has become such a buzzword. What does M1 competitor even mean? Just an ARM SoC?

The entire situation is dumb.

They appear to already be acknowledging that fact by using the trademark symbol.

I’ve considered making a vector sorta thing implemented as a linked list of arrays. Assuming you sized the arrays to fit well inside the CPU cache, are there really many tradeoffs?

> AMD also has a mobile chip with 8 non heterogeneous cores that has around the same TDP as the M1. TDP is no where near actual load power use.

> Unlike what has been said on Twitter the answer to why the M1 is fast isn’t due to technical tricks, but due to Apple throwing a lot of hardware at the problem. Of course Apple’s advantage is not solely due to technical tricks, but nei

Not necessarily. Samsung used to make custom cores that were just as large if not larger than Apple’s (amusingly the first of these was called M1). Unfortunately, Samsung’s cores always performed worse and used significantly more power than

Intel had such an attitude once before.

I think it’s more that it’s a fairly useless correction which makes no real difference.

beautiful webpage either way, and remarkably small for all the media it includes.

The A12X looks like this as well IIRC.

Ryzen 2000 or Zen 2? The former is definitely more than an year old.

You are making the mistake of equating TDP to actual power draw. The Yoga Slim 7, which uses a 4800U has an average load power of ~50W[0] vs the Mini's load power of ~30W. [0]: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Ryzen-7-

This is a very simple program that just modifies your wallpaper. Making it smaller is a wholly different challenge.

Discord uses React Native, and I wouldn't be surprised if Slack does as well.

Apple claims there is not a significant translation slowdown when using Rosetta 2 to run graphics heavy workloads.

None of these new M1 devices will be densely packed. They’re putting smaller boards into the same enclosures. I assume next gen is when they will take advantage of space savings.

The comment is sarcastic I think. This has been done by many companies.

There’s a fairly significant performance difference between Apple’s new cores and the Pi 4’s A72s. If you ignore that and the high-end display, touchpad, and keyboard, then I suppose it’s not too far off from a Pi in a fancy case, but then

IIRC, the Pro’s display also has a higher P3 gamut vs sRGB on the Air’s.

They’re continuing to sell the 4 port Intel 13” Pro.

2 port Pros usually have 15 watt parts and only a single fan. Of course, PL2 goes far above 15W.

This seems like an incredibly well run project. They have a consistent vision, and seem to work tirelessly to bring it to fruition. I love how precisely they’ve defined their goals.

Wow, this writing sucks. What even is the A78C? The writer implies it’s a processor competing with Qualcomm’s 8cx, but the branding and Arm’s slides point to it being a variant of the A78 core. If that’s the case there should be a chart sho

Rocket Lake is desktop. Apple already uses 10nm Ice Lake in it’s smaller laptops, and 45W Tiger Lake (10nm) is expected to be released with Rocket Lake.

Intel never stopped investing a huge amount into R&D.

that’s really quite nice actually. Definitely feels much faster than the current mobile site. If only because it doesn’t have the app pop-up.

What graphics backend does this use? I can’t seem to find one listed after a quick search.
