    Discussion Smartphones: More cache in the SoC better than having faster DRAM?

    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...

    Question Is it possible to overclock an Apple M1 chip?

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

    Question Why does the M1 Pro/M1 Max have only 2 efficiency cores ?

    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 ?

    Question Which is better? More E-cores or more P-cores ?

    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...

    Question How did Apple achieve such high memory bandwidth on the M1 Pro and Max ?

    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.

    Question Multi Threading on Apple Firestorm ?

    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...

    Apple A 12 - Tick or Tock ?

    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...

    Apple Watch Series 2. Should I bother?
