And, the laptop the Intel chip is in is doing a great job dissipating the heat at 25W, whereas the M4 is struggling at 17W all the way down to 9.5W. And, it still looks to be throttling beyond that.
Anyone know the differences in the heatsink design and layout of these two laptops? Is the YOGA...
This appears to be a misleading statement. Qualcomm had a ALA license. It was Qualcomm's performance lag behind Apple that prompted the company to purchase Nuvia. Of course, the TLA license of ARM's cores didn't meet the performance Qualcomm desired and that's one reason they got a ALA license...
My understanding was that the license agreement that Nuvia and ARM originally agreed to was based on Nuvia selling server chips. The agreement was tailored to that expectation (read - low volume). When Qualcomm bought Nuvia, it was expected that they renegotiate the terms with ARM now that...
I doubt Apple would ever seriously consider building their own Fab(s). Could they afford it? Sure. But, not everything can be solved by throwing money at it. It's about getting the know how, experience, IP, and skirting around the hundreds of patents. Remember TSMC complaining about lack of...
Which brings up a question I've always wondered: How does the core know when to run at full clock speed or not? And, how does the microprocessor know what threads to run on the P-cores and which to run on the E-cores?
My hackintosh back in the day was about the same price as the base M4 Pro, but had significantly less RAM, spinning platters for storage, USB 2 ports, and a huge heatsink with 5" fan. How far we've come.
