Meteor Lake is promising 50% more efficiency for the same level of performance as 13th gen. That should more than bring the laptop efficiency fight back to AMD. I’m not sure about the 2 times, they would usually have a few hours more, unless you mean the H series under load or something.
Man they gotta fix deep linking in iOS one day, even in Apple’s own mail app from Apple’s own email it just opens a shitty browser view for this instead of straight to the music app
In a small device like the watch, the attachment mechanism and all the structure needed for it takes substantial space where every millimeter is at a premium
May I highly recommend Sponsorblock to go with Adblock
What we really need is for someone to modify the ramdisk driver to appear as usb storage and make it so it runs under Vista, so we can use it for ReadyBoost.
Use the RAM used as a ramdisk mimicking a disk drive as USB storage for Readyboost which uses a USB drive as…quasi-RAM?
This sounds like a circular way to do what RAM caching is already supposed to do haha, all modern operating systems do this already, used to call it Superfetch but now it’s just commonplace and assumed, as well as not dumping things you close out of RAM immediately in case some parts of it get reused
I hope the band connector redesign and possible skipping of a year before much bigger updates in the Apple watch X/Ultra 3 lead to big increases in battery life
They seem to have forgotten the x1950 XTX by XFX
Is Arrow Lake where the Adamantine cache went?
Better than Black Friday in Japan 😭
Super excited for someone to make a good fanless competitor to the Macbook Air. Looks like this should well be able to do it and Intel is even hyping up performance per watt leadership by then.
The metal shell is also said to be part of a better thermal system in the 16, and it’s actually the battery and the OLED that are the temperature limiting components in a smartphone rather than the SoC.
They’re probably looking at it and trying, but it’ll take years to ramp it up to where ARM is, it’s the decades of toolchains and support and libraries around ARM and x86 that are sticky.
At first I thought the goal of chip sanctions on China was to bring them to the negotiating table, negotiate out fair play and go on our way.
But if instead it keeps going the way it’s going, I wonder if 20 years from now we’re sitting in a split world, where the west has one set of ISAs, fabrication plants etc, and China has another which don’t communicate with each other, since China can’t use any new ARM extensions and eventually all of ARMv9 will be deprecated too.
I know it’s harder to get past about 5nm without EUV machines, but I wouldn’t really doubt that China putting a national effort into it could eventually get there, even if it puts them some years back for now.
Is…Is that split world even a goal? Or is that an accidental consequence of neither side getting what they want and a default path no one wanted?
Windows got even snappier after I ran I think it was the LeDragoX Win Debloat tool, turned off all the telemetry and bing in the start menu stuff that made simple search slower by adding in networking, and turned on the visual performance profile.
Miles and miles away from the default macOS “look how smooooth I am” animation now, pretty much as fast as I go. I also set the animation times for macOS all the way down, but some are just in different places.
I’m going to say this rando twitter account likely doesn’t know what they’re talking about
I thought it could do better than the 780M based on the promised gain over where they were honestly. But Intel is still in their era of rapidly improving performance with drivers too.
What stands out about these tests to me, apart from Apple Silicon remaining highly impressive, is that AMD in both and Intel at least in multicore are beating the Snapdragon on performance per watt. Many people boil Apple’s efficiency down to an ARM vs x86 thing, but that’s a tiny part of the chip by now, it’s more in Apple’s bespoke architecture around it.
Here we see AMD even on x86 beating an ARM chip on Perf/watt, Intel on multicore, and Meteor Lake launching within a month will drop power use by 50%. It’s not just or even mostly the ISA, it’s everything else around it that matters more.
I think they’d do it once they have something else to upsell the Pro displays on, like microLED
Second fastest at half scale deployment is insane
Nice to have another product service as pipe cleaner for a new node
