Question Best Affordable fast CPU in near future?

M4 Pro Mac Mini is perfect for your workflow. Fastest CPU available. Fastest chip for Adobe apps. GPU acceleration as well for Adobe apps.

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

Looks like the Macs are being used as VMs for developers or as build machines. A lot of companies rent Mac Mini VMs from AWS for their developers. Apple should really have their own Mac rental cloud in my opinion. Imagine being able to rent the power of an M3 Ultra or M5 Extreme directly from...

Discussion Leading Edge Foundry Node advances (TSMC, Samsung Foundry, Intel) - [2020 - 2025]

I'm sure the Korean work culture + Samsung's even worse work culture + recent push to make executives work 6+ days/week contributed to it. Working in Samsung seems like hell.

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

Oh ok. I was confused because the person I quoted said N3 for 3 years so I assumed we were talking about the iPhone 17 since we've already had N3 for 2 years. I think iPhone 18 will use N2.

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

What? I thought everyone knew that A19 will be on N3 family. Apple stayed on N5 family for 3 years as well. TSMC's cadence seems to be 3 years now. N2 starts volume production in the second half of 2025. In order to make the schedule for the next iPhone, it needs to start production basically...

Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

I didn't say anything about total mac vs Windows business market share. All I said was that software development on Windows sucks.

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

What? Do you have any idea how LLM inferencing works? If not, this is a pointless discussion. Exactly. M3 Ultra is a bargain for what it actually provides. It's a unique computer. If you have a need to run DeepSeek R1 locally, there is no better value.

Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

Anyone who says that doesn't know what they're talking about. No one uses a Windows computer for software development at any Silicon Valley companies. If you find one, that engineer is actually just using it for Linux. The only people in Silicon Valley who use Windows are finance people because...

Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

Hard disagree. No one in Silicon Valley, where I work, uses a Windows computer for software development. If you agree that the best software comes out of Silicon valley, then you'd agree with me. If not, there's no point in arguing. WSL2 is much better than native Windows terminal but it's not...

Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

Silicon Valley. No software engineer here uses a Windows computer. It's 95% Macs and 5% Linux.

= I didn't say the market was huge. Calm down. That said, the market is likely bigger than you think - especially if they also use the chip for internal AI needs.

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

M3 Ultra is a bargain for those wanting to run DeepSeek at home or other large LLM models. Even compared to workstations such as the ones Puget Systems sells, it's a bargain. 32 core Threadripper + 512GB of RAM + RTX 4060ti is already $12k. Meanwhile, an M3 Ultra has 32 core CPU and a 160...

Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

Most of the best software are written on Macs and hosted on Linux servers. Windows is terrible for development nowadays.

Discussion Nvidia N1X ES Geekbench score surfaces

That's not what I expected. I expected something much faster than the 9400, which is much faster than what you posted.
