Process-wise, M2 should be on TSMC 3nm which should bring power improvements, Zen 4 will also move to TSMC 5nm which will help as well. The outlier is Raptor Lake still on Intel 7.
1) Single threaded performance - Intel, with the architectural improvements in Raptor Lake and their willingness...
very strange that the scaling from Pro to Max is not 2x given the increase in memory bandwidth and cores, we need to see more benchmarks to see what's going on.
@BorisTheBlade82 it's alright, there are a lot of people still in denial. still looking for reasons to be unimpressed by Apple's chips saying it's not an Apples to apples comparison because of process node. When the others get to 5nm (or Intel's 4?) we can finally do a "real" comparison right?
It seems like they didn't improve the P-cores at all, but improved MT either by improving the E-cores or by improving multi-threaded efficiency (potentially the doubled system level cache).
My guess is that there's so much work to do on the new Mac chips that they decided to focus on that...
This is something I've been wondering about, but the design of the current Mac Pro (and any other desktop honestly) is the antithesis of what the M1 is. The Mac Pro is highly modular with user replaceable RAM, storage, graphics, accelerator cards. The M1 essentially takes all of that minus the...
Most likely still TSMC 5nm given the size of the chips, I don't expect they would try a new node with these chips. Memory could be LPDDR4x again with additional channels for addressing more memory, but they could surprise us with LPDDR5.
Regarding the "Chop" having only 16 GPU cores, the GPU seems like it will make up a significant amount of die space of the new chip. Going by M1 die shots, the 8-core GPU takes up ~25% of the space? In a theoretical Jade C a 32 core GPU would be as big as the M1. The rest of the components would...
They could make the low end one a Mac nano considering the amount of unused space left in that enclosure :p
I think they could even fit everything in an Apple TV 4K sized box if they wanted to, basically out-NUC Intel's NUC.
The current Mac Pro supports 1.5TB of RAM, I don't see them reducing that amount in a new Mac Pro. The Jade 2C and 4C probably have a different memory controller that allow for much more memory and ECC.
I'm not talking about the ergonomics of the keyboard, I have a Logitech K380 which works great. All I'm saying is that the combination of iPad with keyboard and trackpad is still a subpar productivity experience relative to a Mac laptop, regardless of the type of keyboard and size of keyboard...
No way... a Mac is way more capable than an iPad. I have a 5th gen iPad with bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and it's just not comparable. The flexibility you get with macOS is leagues beyond what iPadOS offers. Multitasking is still hit or miss on iPad in terms of managing apps, support for more...
this hasn’t been an issue for a while. this was a problem in earlier iPhones due to a combination of OS updates and battery degradation (from experience, iphone 5s and iphone 6 were both badly affected). my iPhone 8 plus is still running great 3 years on and my iPad 2017 is also doing well even...
