Memory bandwidth is one of the greatest constraints in the advancement of the computing power. With CPUs becoming more powerful, they add more caches and support for faster RAM. Yet, historically Android SoC makers (Qualcomm, Mediatek, Samsung) have been stingy in including big caches in their...

I have recently purchased an iPhone 13. Is it advisable to buy an extended warranty or insurance along with it?

Apple announced in it's 2020 WWDC that wit will transition all Macs to Apple Silicon within 2 years. Now it's 2022 and 2 years have almost passed. The rumor mill is suggesting that Apple will delay completing their transition- There are 2 more devices for Apple Silicon to be implemented- the...

Is it possible to overclock an M1 / M1 Pro / M1 Max chip ? Has anyone done this ?

The M1 Pro / M1 Max feature an 8P/2E configuration compared to the M1's 4P/4E. So the number of efficency cores is halved vs the M1. 1] Are 2 efficiency cores sufficient ? 2] And how many cores does MacOS take to run ?

Apple is betting on it's Big cores. The M1 Pro doubles the number of firestorm cores but halves the number of icestorm cores compared to the M1. A future 'M1 Quadra' is rumoured to have 32 Big cores and just 8 small cores. So, yes, Apple is focusing on it's big cores. Intel on the other hand...

The M1 Pro has whopping 200 GB/s and the M1 Max has an insane 400 GB/s of memory bandwidth. How did Apple achieve this ? They don't use GDDR or HBM RAM, but regular LPDDR (!), which makes it all the more puzzling.

Apple Firestorm core in the M1 does not have Simultaneous Multi Threading. I was wondering, [1] What effect will be there if SMT is implemented to a future successor of the Firestorm ? Obviously, it seems that the Firestorm core has not been designed for SMT to work optimally. The Firestorm...

So, what are we thinking about the new iPhones that Apple is announcing next week? The rumor sites are expecting new iPhone 13's in various sizes, along with a new Apple Watch. I kinda miss the old Steve Jobs era keynotes, where he would announce "One more thing" that was unexpected. That...

My Macbook pro 2011 was water damaged, i ended up fixing it with alcohol and It started working. it ended up being that the battery was faulty anyways so i would disconnect it and the Macbook would run on full speed. So I ended up getting another battery and it would work but the trackpad and...

My Macbook pro 2011 was water damaged, i ended up fixing it. It started working and it ended up being that the battery was fried. i would disconnect it and the Macbook would run on full speed. I ended up getting another battery and it would work but the trackpad and keyboard wont work, only on...

I acknowledge that A14 is very fast. However, in the real application which really need performance such as high demanding game, A14 is terrible. Usually in just 1-2 minutes of game, the FPS will suddenly decrease below 10. What I observed is performance cpu core will close for 20 seconds when...

We got another Apple keynote speech coming up on the 15th... what do we think that they're going to announce? New iPhone 12's? Probably A new iPad? Probably A new watch? Possibly New iOS and MacOS releases? Probably (they're already been announced at WWDC) A new Apple silicon powered...

So the woman (who was a molecular biologist) repaired her I-phone and then started a business repairng them and recovering data. Apple's take was "if it's been in water it's done for, no recovery possible". The woman offered advise and proof on the Apple community support forum, (no she didn't...

IS apple TV good???

Apple wanted $1200 to fix laptop display , takje it to a shop and it's just a bent pin and fixes it for free in 2 seconds. Looks like there's a few states that are starting to put right to repair in the law books and will be forcing companies like Apple to sell spare parts/repair manuals. Sleazy...

Hello comunity, I think all of you are familiar with intel’s tick tock strategy for CPU releases. I think we could identify a similar pattern with Apple SoC which became quite a topic over last few years. I see this as ticks being focused on energy efficiency and die size on even A chips...

- 7nm : We Expected that, since the "X" series are now merely the pipe cleaner for A12. - 6 Core Graphics : Basically double of A11. Also the norm for X. Now the Interesting Part. 8 Core CPU - 3 High Perforamnce Core + 5 High Efficiency Core. Compared to A11 which is 2 HP Core + 4 HE Core I...

Hi Guys, I noticed that my 2013 era Macbook Pro running OS X 10.11.6 has been kernel panicing with the following error message while using Chrome. Has anyone else seen this issue? Anonymous UUID: 48E17720-A993-D476-AB43-C1FBCB96BDDA Thu Apr 27 18:28:00 2017 *** Panic Report ***...
