that is really cool

narrow yoke
#

The notch is weird but with how they are doing it, I'm ok with it

tough grail
#

That market is quite profitable, but competitors might outperform and prepare tactics. Look at the past, bigger behemonths for their time died. Atari? Commodore? They lack a solid ground, Microsoft rescued them once 😄

narrow yoke
#

Yeah same. I'm actually really stoked they are finally allowing the 14 inch and 16 inch to have feature parity

trim flare
#

I want apple to bring back the trashcan

#

and put a 128 core gpu in it

upbeat vale
#

Spoilers: they won't

#

For that reason

trim flare
#

just as a shitpost

#

Taking out the trash TM

hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

I honestly liked that design

#

Its just sad it did so poorly with thermals

trim flare
tough grail
#

I want 100x more power and very advanced AI capabilities, neurochips. The rest if just Moore and limited digital technology. PCs are more modular, anyway

hexed sage
#

bring back Slot 1!

trim flare
#

the new macpro could be basically a mac mini will more i/o and stuff to add inside

#

kinda like the power cube

hexed sage
#

@trim flare bring back trashcan!

narrow yoke
#

Its wild to think

#

That they released the mac pro

#

and now 2 years later here we are where you can buy a fucking laptop with arguably better power lol.

hexed sage
#

but you can't get a TB of RAM

#

in the laptop

#

😔

trim flare
#

does the m1 max outperform the gpu on the pro?

narrow yoke
#

😦

tough grail
narrow yoke
hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

Im unsure on the highest versions though

hexed sage
#

things like the Cortex M and A series

#

those are from ARM

narrow yoke
#

God

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

Just imagine nexts year MBP's with the A15 cores

#

Sweet jesus man

hexed sage
#

But x86 is also only from Intel and AMD and VIA

#

and look at where that's led us

tough grail
upbeat vale
#

It has never been Chinese you dingus

#

ARM was owned by Softbank

hexed sage
#

There's a significant part in China i believe

trim flare
tough grail
trim flare
#

x86 will just be a small niche in the market

tough grail
hexed sage
#

x86 will be around for a long time

#

fuck W98 is still around

tough grail
trim flare
hexed sage
#

x86 was never meant to be permanent anyways lel

#

it just kinda happened

tough grail
#

And I don't like X86! It's just X86 still is competitive outside low power world

hexed sage
#

fooken 8086

narrow yoke
#

x86 is looking like even the high power segment will be lost here soon

hexed sage
#

x86 loses a lot to how complicated the ISA is

tough grail
hexed sage
#

makes for a gigantic inefficient decoder that takes up significant area on the die

upbeat vale
#

x86 is losing ground almost everywhere.

#

The PC laptop/desktop market is the only market not yet seriously affected.

tough grail
#

Even Intel tried to kill X86 more than once! They even made ARM CPUs. Itanium. And those weird non-x86 cores

hexed sage
#

There's something to be said about "to early for its time"

narrow yoke
#

What a time to be alive

hexed sage
#

The average consumer is 100% ready for a transition to ARM, considering how everything is a webapp and we have hardware translation layers now. Also things like Intel VBridge, while not finished yet, should provide similar performance to Rosetta

narrow yoke
#

After the stagnation of intel

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

We got the nice boost from AMD

hexed sage
#

and Intel's system should also allow for ARM apps to run on x86

narrow yoke
#

And then fuckin Apple is like "hold my beer, kid."

hexed sage
upbeat vale
#

The entire cloud revolution was powered by x86

narrow yoke
#

Wasn't literally everything in computing x86?

#

With the exception of some rare one off devices?

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

Yeah, I mean x86 consoles aren't exactly going anywhere in the next few years, but that's likely the last hold out until next gen

upbeat vale
#

POWER has a small but significant market in supercomputing, banking, safety critical industries and the likes

narrow yoke
#

I can absolutely promise you that Intel and AMD are looking at Apple and thinking twice right now

upbeat vale
#

but otherwise it was x86 everywhere that wasn't mobile.

hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

Yes, right

#

Mobiles were basically the only thing that were arm

narrow yoke
upbeat vale
#

Mobile was mostly ARM or Motorola, a little x86

#

Now its entirely ARM

tough grail
hexed sage
#

what architecture did Motorola have

hexed sage
upbeat vale
#

the Motoroloa arch

#

Is the only name it has

#

The Motorola 68000 (sixty-eight-thousand; also called m68k, Motorola 68k, sixty-eight-kay) is a 16/32-bit complex instruction set computer (CISC) microprocessor, introduced in 1979 by Motorola Semiconductor Products Sector.
The design implements a 32-bit instruction set, with 32-bit registers and a 16-bit internal data bus. The address bus is 24...

tough grail
hexed sage
upbeat vale
#

Most apps that the average persons uses already are available on ARM on Windows

#

Browsers, office, etc. Already there.

hexed sage
#

indeed.

narrow yoke
#

Yeah

hexed sage
#

and with the soon-to-be release Intel VBridge stuff it should not even matter

narrow yoke
#

The issue the games and professional Applications like Adobe, video editors etc

tough grail
hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

Then theres also the issue of niche applications

hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

So

#

Wait.

hexed sage
#

it's on the list of officially supported CPUs on W11's main page.

narrow yoke
#

Ok so

hexed sage
#

Bunch of Qualcomm ARM stuff

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

Can I do a VM of W11 on mac OS?

#

and run anything on windows that I used to run?

#

Does windows have that translation layer in place?

hexed sage
tough grail
#

It used to be, not sure now

hexed sage
#

The only testing I've seen of it though was under a VM on an M1 mac, so not the best test target lol

#

We just don'th ave any fucking arm machines yet lol

upbeat vale
#

6 x86, 2 PPC, 1 ARM and 1 custom Chinese ISA in the top 10 currently.

narrow yoke
#

My biggest hesitation with buying the macbook pro atm is not being able to run windows software I need with in the VM because its on ARM

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

By software, read mostly games

#

LOL

hexed sage
#

Once mainstream ARM processors are released outside of Apple world is when we'll start seeing native builds of software

#

But all the missing pieces of the past are here now

tough grail
narrow yoke
hexed sage
#

Yes

narrow yoke
#

For macOS arm

hexed sage
#

What?

upbeat vale
narrow yoke
#

I.e, if I am on Mac OS and I VM W11, can I still run old x86 apps in the W11 VM?

#

Does that translation layer work a la rosetta?

hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

K

hexed sage
#

assuming you can get it running, with some config changes it is possible

narrow yoke
#

Thats what I wanted to make sure

#

Thank you 🙂

hexed sage
#

because rn Windows/Apple are having a licensing fit about it

narrow yoke
#

Yeah I could care less about that

#

If it gets my windows account banned, Ill make a new one

#

lol.

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

lol.

#

Thats a whole lotta words to say nothing there bud

tough grail
#

ARM started as a very humble architecture! And look now 🙂

upbeat vale
#

and like all idealistic True Open projects, no one ever puts serious money into it

hexed sage
#

ARM has the momentum in spite of its ownership/licensing issues. RISC-V is still stuck in lack of momentum and tooling

upbeat vale
#

and then its just a irrelevant side-note in history

hexed sage
#

I'm not saying it's possible but nothing is pointing to RISC-V taking over

tough grail
#

ARM got designed to save transistors at maximum because the company didn't have the resources of big chip corps. Fairchild traitors etc

narrow yoke
#

Order today. Delivers to
Nov 9 - Nov 16 — Free

#

OOF

#

Its gonna be a MONTH now lol.

upbeat vale
#

Sounds like they are popular.

eager hearth
#

meh who cares Apple owns their ARM license and can do whatever they want with it

tough grail
tough grail
eager hearth
#

no carl

narrow yoke
#

No, that would be part of the argreement

#

Its similar to how a renter getting a new landlord works

tough grail
#

Uhm

upbeat vale
#

ARM started as a desktop architechure, anyway.

narrow yoke
#

The previous argument is contractually kept between the parties.

eager hearth
#

Sure they could cut off new versions maybe? but who cares Apple is only Apple and so they can add whatever they need

narrow yoke
#

The new company may try to revoke, but they would be sued in court

upbeat vale
#

Also, ARMs product is licenses. Why on earth would they just start telling their customers "no"?

eager hearth
#

idk how perpetual ARM's license

narrow yoke
#

and it'd be hilarious to watch

upbeat vale
#

Yes, less money.

#

Or in that case: no money.

hexed sage
#

lol

narrow yoke
#

lol

eager hearth
#

speaking of

#

what is the goal in novideo buying ARM

#

How does that help novideo

upbeat vale
#

That is a good question

hexed sage
#

ARM has a lot of IP and talent

narrow yoke
#

Apple M1 Max
More power for the most demanding workflows
Up to 4x faster graphics performance¹⁰
Over 400GB/s memory bandwidth
Supports four external displays YO WHAT

#

FOUR EXTERNAL DISPLAYS???

hexed sage
#

daisy chaining

#

DP can do it too but support is super wonky

eager hearth
#

Too bad Nvidia has no talent or ability to make their own cores because of how poor of a company they are

upbeat vale
#

No, the laptop has 4 outputs

#

DP MST has never worked on a Mac, as far as I know

tough grail
#

Excuse me, but the situation of ARM architecture owners is quite hairy. ARM british vs ARM China...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_Ltd.#Changes_of_ownership

Arm Ltd. (stylized as arm) is a British semiconductor and software design company based in Cambridge, England. Its primary business is in the design of ARM processors (CPUs), although it also designs other chips; software development tools under the DS-5, RealView and Keil brands; and systems and platforms, system-on-a-chip (SoC) infrastructure ...

eager hearth
#

🤔

#

Why does that matter at all

narrow yoke
#

Youre joking if you think the world will allow ARM to be exclusively owned by China lol

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

I... what? lmao

hexed sage
#

music, video, photography, and ML/programming stuff @tough grail

trim flare
tough grail
trim flare
#

god was it shit

hexed sage
#

those are probably the most common workloads for those kinds of PCs

narrow yoke
hexed sage
narrow yoke
tough grail
tough grail
narrow yoke
#

More than likely, China would close off its own "branch" of arm and develop that in-house without the rest of the world seeing it

hexed sage
#

Also there's a ton of places that use Macs for Adobe and their suite

#

Adobe optimizes for MacOS which is unfortunate

#

they could perform the same but they just don't and often get updates/features earlier

#

things like video decoding and import from external media is way faster on Mac because of it

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

Man I wanted a 2TB drive, but with the 32 core GPU being an upgrade option, a 2TB drive is gonna be well into the 4K territory D:

hexed sage
#

You're making a connection where there isn't one

upbeat vale
#

ML is only useful if you can integrate it in other products

#

like the billion iPhones currently being used

hexed sage
#

Yes but the Apple walled garden part is irrelevant

upbeat vale
trim flare
#

Alright I'm ready to order accessories that are about as much as the 14" macbook pro

narrow yoke
#

Man of culture, ordering the cleaning cloth

tough grail
narrow yoke
#

Im proud of you

trim flare
#

I am ordering apple's value products

hexed sage
#

You can develop and train ML models that can be used on other machines

#

What you develop on is irrelevant

upbeat vale
#

Spoilers: models aren't platform specific.

summer pike

Why wouldnt they?

upbeat vale

Tell that to all the engineers or scientists who use Apple products.

mfw it's a 3080 mobile

#

P O G

narrow yoke
#

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST LMAo

summer pike
narrow yoke
#

3080 MOBILE LMAOOOOOO

trim flare
hexed sage
#

@tough grail NVIDIA has a generic tensor accelerator. Any model can be uploaded to it

trim flare
#

what desktop card compares to a 3080 mobile?

summer pike
#

Hey Boob, do you have the new Mini?

hexed sage
#

You just have to translate your model information into the format NVIDIA's cards would understand.

tough grail
# hexed sage Er, no

Are you sure? TensorFlow and such? Despite of that, final implementations even live in custom chips

narrow yoke

#

I have the 5th gen ipad mini

#

and 3rd gen ipad pro

summer pike
#

Ah.

tough grail
#

And that's why Radeon has competition issues, because of CUDA and such

trim flare
#

I would highly recommend the macbook air

narrow yoke
#

They have competition more than just CUDA 😛

hexed sage
trim flare
#

I've had mine for almost a year

summer pike
#

I might get new Mini with LTE as streaming device at work

hexed sage
trim flare
hexed sage
#

OpenCL can run as fast as NVIDIA's CUDA but nothing supports it

#

or optimizes for it

summer pike
#

I wanted Air but hard to justify the cost for the small amount I will use

tough grail
trim flare
#

I think if I needed one ipad in the future, it would probably be the air

hexed sage
tough grail
summer pike
tough grail
#

They hate Vulkan, OpenCL etc

eager hearth
#

Apple made the world fastest mobile GPU

hexed sage
#

i don't understand their hate for Vulkan

eager hearth
#

that's the power of Apple

#

Tim Apple

narrow yoke
tough grail
#

I understand it. If you don't understand the hate of open standard by Apple, you don't understand Apple at all

eager hearth
trim flare
#

just in rough numbers

#

a 3060ti is about 4x faster than the 1050ti

narrow yoke
#

Sorry looking at

#

One sec, Ill link something better

hexed sage
trim flare
#

21 hour battery life, power of a mid range desktop gpu

hexed sage
upbeat vale
#

and Apple pushed for USB-C

trim flare
#

Haters link shitty $6000 desktop laptop with maybe an hour battery life and 60 hz display

narrow yoke
#

lol.

tough grail
#

Apple improving their architecture and making competition in the mobile sector is very good news, but there's too much hype.

upbeat vale
#

I wonder if they are partially responsible for the fucking mess that is USB now

trim flare
hexed sage
#

iPhone came first

#

Didn't support flash and people hated it

upbeat vale
#

loved

#

people loved it

#

because flash fucking sucked

eager hearth
#

Apple love

hexed sage
#

do you not remember how much people complained about not being able to run sites they wanted to on the iphone

upbeat vale
#

and flash became optional super fast once the iPhone became popular

narrow yoke
#

Seems like youre correct

#

Ok so yeah

trim flare
narrow yoke
#

Looks like we really will need to wait for benchmarks

#

Yeah

trim flare
#

like the m1 was 1050-1050ti

narrow yoke
#

But a 3060 Desktop is like a 2070 desktop

trim flare
#

isn't the 3060 more like a 2080?

#

or is it slower?

narrow yoke
#

Im not sure actually

trim flare
#

I never gave a fuck about the 3060, because it was shit compared to the 3060ti

narrow yoke
#

Actually, you might be right

hexed sage
#

oof

#

I honestly believe we will see a portless iphone before a usb-c iphone

trim flare
upbeat vale
#

I don't think Apple see C as an improvment to lightning in the phone.

trim flare
#

I hate lightning

#

But I understand that apple probably just wants to apple watch the iphone

#

and go portless

upbeat vale
#

I wonder if the Pro phones will get C and the base models will go portless - that would be silly

narrow yoke
#

@trim flare ok here's a better way to see it

trim flare
#

I doubt apple wants to move to c

#

they make a lot of lightning licensing

narrow yoke
#

So its between a 2070 and 2080

narrow yoke
#

Go the time stamp, youll see the info

spice pier
narrow yoke
#

But yeah, 3060 Ti is a lot better

trim flare
#

We're also trying to speculate on apple graphs based on different parts, based on different parts again

#

so there is a lot of room for error

narrow yoke
#

Oh yeah absolutely

trim flare
#

and we have no idea what ACTUAL performance will be like

hexed sage
trim flare
#

anandtech did a tiny bit on the m1

narrow yoke
#

Its just fun to speculate 😉

trim flare
#

but I wish they would do more

#

like for example a14 or a15 cores?

trim flare
narrow yoke
#

Its basically a 1080 Ti it seems

#

Or a 2070 Super, it seems

#

Which I will GLADLY take in a laptop

trim flare
#

I wonder what thermals will be like

narrow yoke
#

Sweet jesus.

upbeat vale
#

yeh, a watt or two wasted as heat the world over really is a efficiency disaster

trim flare
#

The m1 never struggled

#

the 14" will probably run hotter than the 16"

upbeat vale
#

That just sounds like concern trolling, tbh.

narrow yoke
#

Yeah Id imagine the 14 runs warmer

spice pier
hexed sage
upbeat vale
#

Of all the other things to be upset about, slightly less efficient charging is so entirely irrelevant

trim flare
#

like I predict most of the time for light work, the fans will never come on in the pros

hexed sage
#

And it's not slightly less efficient it's significantly inefficient

narrow yoke
trim flare
#

without a case I believe inductive charging is what, maybe 75% efficient @hexed sage ?

#

my m1 has gotten to 99 C

spice pier
#

yikes

hexed sage
#

I've seen numbers closer to 40-60% @trim flare

trim flare
#

when discord and the browser crashed at the same time

spice pier
trim flare
#

in typical use cases, like video, I think like 75 max

trim flare
#

daily I rarely see over 55

#

as in once a week I see over 55

narrow yoke
#

I mean looking at that, it's fairly clear that this is targeting a 3070/3080 laptop

hexed sage
#

@upbeat vale At the current rate of computational power usage, we won't be able to sustain ourselves by i think it was 2050 or so

lime breach
#

What's the event?

narrow yoke
#

MSI GE76 Raider

upbeat vale
#

[citation needed]

hexed sage
#

Reducing power usage especially at idle or low-use states should be a priority for all devices.

narrow yoke
#

Is the laptop being used

#

Which has a 3080

hexed sage
narrow yoke
#

fuckin lol.

trim flare
#

it's a fucking insane amount

narrow yoke
#

BRUH

hexed sage
#

it quite is

narrow yoke
#

Ok seriously

upbeat vale
#

Again [citation needed]

narrow yoke
#

In that graph above, Apple is comparing the GPU performance and wattage to the MSI GE76 Raider, which HAS a 3080 in it

trim flare
#

like the arguement to even a fraction of a watt per user is like saying "10 million people wonder what a single bottle means being thrown on the ground"

#

it really does add up

narrow yoke
#

This is INSANE.

upbeat vale
#

Comparing the future energy usage of computing to, say, the electric car revolution is a little hilarious

trim flare
#

The thing is every little bit matters

upbeat vale
#

The world is moving to electric everything, computing is not the straw to break that camels back

#

especially the loses in wireless phone charging.

trim flare
#

I mean apple is making pretty efficient devices

hexed sage
#

Bitcoin alone uses enough power as entire countries

#

and that's a small number of users.

upbeat vale
#

Indeed.

narrow yoke
#

Bruh. Imagine having a laptop that uses 60W and competes with an i9 and 3080 laptop

#

What the actual fuck

spice pier
#

what did they use to measure performance

narrow yoke
#

Some shitty and vague graph I linked above

spice pier
#

also interesting note is that the msi laptop has a much lower resolution screen

narrow yoke
#

We will need to see what happens, but the graphs in the past have been really good indicators

#

Whats the resolution listed?

spice pier
#

1920x1080, IPS, 360HZ, 17.3IN, 3ms g2g

narrow yoke
#

So you mean to tell me

spice pier
#

?

narrow yoke
#

a 3080 at 1080p, is barely winning against native resolution damn near 4k 32core GPU?

#

What the fuck.

spice pier
#

they probably took that into account

narrow yoke
#

I'd certainly hope so

#

Because if that's not the case.

#

I dont have words

spice pier
#

well, it could be userbenchmark level software or 3dmark, we dont know

upbeat vale
#

Apple tends to be quite representative with its marketting graphs.

upbeat vale
#

Because they know they get torn apart by nerds anyway.

narrow yoke
#

They may be vague as fuck

upbeat vale
#

Not to say they don't cherry pick, but its never completely unreasonable.

narrow yoke
#

But they usually do well with their graphs

#

In terms of representing their product I mean

#

And how it actually performs to the competition

narrow yoke
#

So it seems to be using DDR5 then, yeah?

#

Or well, LPDDR5

spice pier
#

yeah

#

thats cool

narrow yoke
#

Thats really significant

#

Does the M1 use ddr4?

#

I dont know

spice pier
#

lpddr4x iirc

narrow yoke
#

Interesting

spice pier
#

but intel is going to be using ddr5 in a few weeks too

narrow yoke
#

Yeah

#

But its good that Apple didnt wait a gen to do that

upbeat vale
#

Yeh, the M1 used LPDDR4

#

Also the Max has twice the on-die SLC. Wonder what sort of effect that will have

spice pier
#

" essentially it’s no longer an SoC with an integrated GPU but it’s a GPU with an SoC around it."

#

interesting take anandtech

narrow yoke
#

Er sorry thats for the 16 core GPU

upbeat vale
#

So in the hand-waviest 32bit FLops metric, the Max is a desktop 2080 but in a 60w mobile part?

narrow yoke
#

AMD advertises 26.8bn transistors for the Navi 21 GPU design at 520mm², Apple here has over double the transistors at a lower die size.

narrow yoke
hexed sage
#

it uses 5nm tsmc afaik

#

so it makes sense.

upbeat vale
#

with about the same memory bandwidth too

narrow yoke
#

Thats for 3080 mobile

#

M1Max 32 Core GPU offers 10.4 TFLOPs compute, 327 GTexels/s and 165 GPixels/s rates.

#

I am unsure exactly where those numbers are from, but thats the info we have atm on the 32 core

#

So by all respects, the 32 core should be on-par/better than a mobile 3080 lol.

#

On paper anyway

upbeat vale
#

Almost half the maxmium compute of the 3080 Mobile

#

it ain't going to be better

#

Mighty fast, but not that fast

narrow yoke
#

Yeah

#

Actually yes

#

thats true

#

So here's what they compared it to

#

for the 32 core GPU

#

And you can see the lines are just a touch below the 3080 there

#

Im trying to find what wattage that 3080 is at

#

From there you can just cross reference the two to get an idea of the performance

#

155 watts according to their 10UH review

upbeat vale
#

Man that thing is ugly

narrow yoke
upbeat vale
narrow yoke
#

Our test unit is a higher-end configuration with the Core i7-10870H CPU, 155 W GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, and 300 Hz 1080p display for approximately $2900 USD retail. Lesser SKUs with the Core i7-10750H, 130 W RTX 3060 or 140 W 3070, and 240 Hz or 144 Hz panels are also available.

#

That is per the 10UH

#

And the GPU is the same with the 11UH

#

So yeah, the line is exactly going across the 155W 3080

#

Also, interesting facet here. If you get a 3080 that uses less than 120 watts or so, you're looking at equal performance.

#

According to that graph

#

So yeah, that 32 Core is going to look like a monster compared to the rest lmao.

trim flare
#

I wish I had the money to buy this

upbeat vale
narrow yoke
#

Good old apple credit card lmao

trim flare
#

Give it better game support and I don’t need a desktop anymore

narrow yoke
#

OH AGREES

#

LMAO sorry

#

I misread. I'm sorry

#

I thought you said disagrees

upbeat vale
#

😐

#

I was busy typing out some epic snark

narrow yoke
#

😛

#

Sorry I had to shut you down there

#

So yeah, it looks like M1 Max 32 core GPU ~ 50 watts then

#

With the RTX 3080 mobile they used being at 155W

trim flare
#

Is it?

narrow yoke
#

50-60 yeah

trim flare
#

It was 30 and 35 watts in the graphs

#

So 65 total

narrow yoke
#

In terms of performance, Apple is battling it out with the very best available in the market, comparing the performance of the M1 Max to that of a mobile GeForce RTX 3080, at 100W less power (60W vs 160W). Apple also includes a 100W TDP variant of the RTX 3080 for comparison, here, outperforming the Nvidia discrete GPU, while still using 40% less power.

upbeat vale
#

Next important question: how the fuck?

narrow yoke
#

I think the CPU is ~30-35W

#

Apple magic KEKW

upbeat vale
#

I can see how they outplayed Intel, but outplaying Intel and nvidia at their specialities

#

in one product?

@upbeat vale oh my fucking god lol. The top comment on that anandtech link?

upbeat vale
#

Yep, I saw it.

narrow yoke

Exciting yet massively overpriced.```
#

LMAO

trim flare
#

Are we all simping the MacBooks

narrow yoke
#

Oh dear lord that's extremely sad to think

#

Whats amazing is that we still havent even dissected the CPU performance.

#

OH YEAH

#

I also just remembered

trim flare
#

Honestly if you think about the fact that a MacBook Pro replaces a desktop

upbeat vale
#

We are assuming M1-era power and efficiency cores. So it probably won't be suprising.

narrow yoke
#

There's new "high powered" mode coming to macOS

trim flare
#

It’s really cheap

narrow yoke
trim flare
#

Exactly

upbeat vale
#

Unless they have thermally uncapped them and can clock them ⏫

narrow yoke
#

I mean, windows aside of course

trim flare
#

A a MacBook Air plus desktop is the same as a MacBook Pro

narrow yoke
#

Like if you need windows for a certain app, thats different

trim flare
#

And at some point it will get more gaming support

upbeat vale
#

eh

#

Will it?

narrow yoke
#

Honestly? Yes

#

I think so

trim flare
#

I can hope steg

narrow yoke
#

I think this level of hardware is too good to ignore

#

We can see what sales are like, but I suspect some devs will start porting depending on what market share looks like

trim flare
#

The real value is a Mac mini with this

upbeat vale
#

I'll concede this point when Warzone comes to the Mac

narrow yoke
#

The biggest issue, imo, is that Apple needs an easy way for users to port over

trim flare
#

Anand talked about the 2014 MacBook Pro replacing his desktop

upbeat vale
#

and we are still talking $3000+ devices here

#

These are so far out of the mainstream

trim flare
#

Look how expensive GPUs are though

narrow yoke
trim flare
#

The only way to get that performance is a prebuilt

narrow yoke
#

It is, with the current GPU market yeah

trim flare
#

You cannot just go and buy a gpu right now

narrow yoke
#

And who knows how long this will last for

trim flare
#

The base performance is 1070 level?

narrow yoke
#

Apple might have even gotten lucky with the timing there, given the price gauging goin gon

upbeat vale
#

Hmm, will 32GB on the Max be quad channel?

trim flare
#

12 gpu cores I think

upbeat vale
#

This is an important question.

narrow yoke
#

Unironically, I think this could help some of the price gauging issues

#

for GPUs

#

Typically is so little overlap between those two

#

But people may be thinking "well shit if I can get a laptop for the same cost as my desktop and more or less get the same power, might as well! 🤷‍♂️ "

trim flare
#

How hard is it to get a laptop with a 3080?

According to that 10UH MSI one I linked earlier, apparently hard

narrow yoke

Its weird to have the notch in any case

#

But I dont hate it if Im honest

trim flare

If these could mine at all

upbeat vale
#

I don't think I hate it

trim flare
#

People would buy them

upbeat vale
#

but it is very wierd

trim flare
#

It’s weird

narrow yoke
#

Yeah really weird

#

I just dont get why Apple needed a notch for a webcam

upbeat vale
#

That is so much notch just for a single camera

trim flare
#

It makes sense

narrow yoke
#

I mean.. like WHY?

trim flare
#

But it’s huge

narrow yoke
#

lmao

upbeat vale
#

even if its a camera and an ambient light sensor

trim flare
#

Why not just put the camera in the bottom

#

With the bigger bezel

narrow yoke
#

Watch next year the rumors being "theres a smaller notch!!"

#

lmfaoo

upbeat vale
#

because nostril cam isn't appealing

trim flare
#

I guess so

spice pier

but yeah, totally gpu > cpu moment

which is something I like

narrow yoke
#

Alright I gotta take a little break

#

Getting lunch

#

I'll be back

upbeat vale
#

I might actually have to do some work today

trim flare
#

I need to get shit done

#

And stop simping the MacBook Pro

upbeat vale
#

CE will likely get Monterey into Braveheart's before the end of the year, or shortly after the new year
Translation: we might not get approved to use Monterey until next year.

#

so ordering a new laptop now is probably a waste

calm sail
#

What's this

#

Why does anyone carw about crapple?

hexed sage
#

Because they made some awesome laptop CPUs @calm sail

#

M1 is now up to 16/32 cores, with a stupid powerful iGPU

#

And the rest of the laptop looks great too, added a bunch of ports (finally), miniled display, adaptive 120hz, 32gb on-die RAM

#

And 65W total package, 30W for the CPU.

narrow yoke
upbeat vale
#

That side profile isn't trendy and modern, for sure

narrow yoke
#

Yeah Im surprised

#

Feels like we back to the pre-2015 design era

#

you see the M1 Pro now has 200GB/s memory bandwidth to feed them there 16 GPU cores? and the M1 Max is rocking a 512 bit wide memory bus.... in a god damn laptop!?

narrow yoke
#

We did indeed 😉 haha

pallid veldt
#

That's kinda insane. Rome/Milan is 190GiB/s

#

with 8 channel RAM

narrow yoke
#

Wait WHAT?

#

LMAO

#

i didnt know it was that high compared to Rome.Milan

#

Jesus.

tender shard
#

400GB/s memory bandwidth says the fruit company.

#

512 bit wide, LPDDR5

pallid veldt
#

Not as fast as a regular GPU. Where you're expencting 500GB/s+

tender shard
#

a 3070 is 450GB/s....

#

and the difference in transistor count from M1 Pro to M1 Max is 23.3 billion transistors....so thats 23.3 billion transistors in 16 more GPU cores, 256 more bits of memory bandwidth, and a couple extra encode/decode units and some other random little stuff....

#

3080/3080Ti/3090/A6000 die is 28.3 billion. 3070 die is 17.4 billion. so the difference between an M1 Pro and M1 Max is somewhere between a 3070 and 3080 in transistors....

pallid veldt
#

I care less about the GPU here, until TVM supports metal/CoreML its pointless to me

pallid veldt
#

but I am keen to know how the CPU scales power wise

calm sail
pallid veldt
#

The M1 was comparable with a 5700u at load

tender shard
#

@pallid veldt you doing machine learning?

pallid veldt
#

I don't but I work for an ML startup

#

That's why I care about any of this 😛

tender shard
#

ahhh

#

My other question was..... how much difference all that memory bandwidth will make for some database workloads.

pallid veldt
#

Not sure it'd matter that much, having all of that cache will be nice though

#

Problem is, these are awful for databases because their IO is ass. Unless its timeseries, its just not useful

#

Even then, the software side of things makes that a non starter

narrow yoke
#

Ugh

#

The order wont even ship until Dec 2-9th

spice pier
#

oh my

"in hand in 2 weeks"

narrow yoke

I waited too long to get my order in

At this point, Ill just wait until stores have em

What do you mean?

waiting for benchmarks

narrow yoke

Ah

Yeah at this point I'm going to do the same

Since the shipping times are so long

Now its gonna be painful waiting the week for benchmarks to come out 😛

Im honestly shocked we dont have any sort of benchmarks or ANYTHNG right now aside from Apples own stuff

There's usually something

upbeat vale

review units will probably arrive tomorrow

so expect results to start leaking out soon

narrow yoke

I hope so

#

I cant wait a week for reviews 😛

#

@upbeat vale Whos your go to for reviews?

upbeat vale
#

I'll read lots. I don't care too much for the medicore tech press.

#

Either give me Anandtech or give me more mainstream - Ars, The Verge, etc.

#

I'll read Joanna Stern as soon as she publishes

#

ditto John Gruber

narrow yoke
#

Im excited lol

#

I wonder what Linus and Dave2D are going to say about the new MBP's lmao

upbeat vale
#

yeh, see they go in the "medicore tech press" category

#

and IDGAF what they have to say

narrow yoke
#

God Linus used to be good

upbeat vale
#

No

narrow yoke
#

Dave2D less so, but I mean his reviews are so

#

Non-technical

upbeat vale
#

Non-technical isn't necessarily a critism

#

Joanna Stern doesn't write technical reviews

but they are some of the best reviews out there

narrow yoke

I mean non-technical in the sense of

upbeat vale

Vapid

narrow yoke
#

being far too topicl

#

Yes

#

topical*

upbeat vale
#

Yeh, I agree

narrow yoke
#

There's nothing of substance covered in the review

#

I dont need you tell me that the laptop has 400Gb/s bandwidth or whatever

#

But I also dont need you tell me that the particular color of blue they are using looks good

upbeat vale
#

I think that sort of person is so scared by the internet into being "objective"

#

and become bland as a result

narrow yoke
#

But its what Dave2D does

#

Like

#

"The panel looks fine and is mostly color accurate." is probably his most uttered sentence lmao

#

If everything looks fine, how am I supposed to know from your review which is better than the other?

#

We have tools to measure these things and you don't need to be super tech literate to understand them

upbeat vale
#

Yes and no. "Its fine" is a perfectly good review conclusion.

#

Like, if its 2% less accurate than some other model is that actually useful information for most users?

#

and if you are a colourist who cares deeply about that you aren't reading a medicore tech youtubers opinions for your buying advice

narrow yoke
#

Its not so much that i need the best panel

upbeat vale
#

Unless you are also an idiot

#

but then all bets are off

narrow yoke
#

Its that I also dont want to buy a shitty color'd panel when the reviewer just says "its fine."

#

I need more context than that

#

You dont buy a product based off of "its fine."

#

lol

#

Well, not expensive ones anyway

#

I mean sure, for some of the sub 700$ laptops he reviews, fine, whatever. I just wish he was a bit more details and provided more context to how he formed his opinions

upbeat vale
#

Yeh

narrow yoke

But man I am really excited to see how this chip works. Guesses on geekbench score for multicore?

upbeat vale

I would argue intel had decent integrated graphics

Apple really bullied them with CrystalLake

Wasn’t it a custom chip?

It turned up in a very small number of PC laptops

Oh! I don't need the extra power. I wanted the other features and hoped for some longest battery life with less numbers of efficient cores, but that didn't happen. And given the massive price increase, it would be a waste. so I'll wait another year for this one to refresh

I'm not a fan of the design either. I think the one I have looks way better... and that notch :<

Otherwise its a really funky aspect ratio

#

You cannot use nm measurement across manufacturers, as they don't agree on what to measure

#

This is incorrect right?

#

As in, the measurement is fine

#

But that's not the point of the measurement

#

As in, just because its lower nm doesnt mean its inherently better

upbeat vale

Unless it was broadwell.

#

It might have been Broadwell.

narrow yoke
#

There was no context applied to the quote

upbeat vale
#

The nanometer number quoted on silicon manufacturing processes is a name

#

Not a measurement

#

Which is why neither Intel nor TMSC actually name their processes after a number of manometers anymore

#

“Intel 4” used to be the “7nm” Intel process.

#

The numbers don’t mean anything

narrow yoke
#

I thought it meant measurement of the gates?

#

Or the transistor sizes

upbeat vale
#

The 14nm in 14nm++ doesn’t actually refer to any significant feature

narrow yoke
#

So it’s not a measurement of transistor size any more?

upbeat vale

I’m not sure it ever was

It was the maximum resolving power of the process
