    New Qualcomm silicon for new Surface May 2024

    Android Authority seems to have some power figures as well as performance figures here showing the different SKUs compared to the Intel Ultra 7 155H and the Apple M3 Pro. Performance: Power: The Intel Ultra 7 155H used around 80 Watts while the Apple M3 Pro used around 42 Watts.

    LLMs may force Apple to integrate more RAM into A-series SOCs

    They also do FaceID, autocorrect, facial recognition, the integration with the ISP (as mentioned above) and a bunch of smaller task. Apple have been doing machine learning with dedicated hardware all the way back to the iPhone X on device pretty much. They (Apple) have just released their own...

    LLMs may force Apple to integrate more RAM into A-series SOCs

    The title is a bit misleading (should refer to LLMs) as Apple has been doing machine learning for many years on device. The biggest component being their computational photography workflow.

    Pax Dei (PC MMO)

    It is an MMO after all, so that is a given. They usually aren't fun without an active guild or friend group.

    New Qualcomm silicon for new Surface May 2024

    I didn't even notice the difference. But they are the same device, one is using the DirectML backend and the other the CPU backend. Is the DirectML backend testing the NPU or GPU? It does list the GPU under Inference Information, so we can assume it is the GPU? Initially I only tested the...

    New Qualcomm silicon for new Surface May 2024

    For comparison the Apple M2 Max SoC gets 3497 (Core ML) and the Apple M1 SoC gets 2998 (Core ML). It clearly shows the Qualcomm Oryon cores are really good at certain workloads (I8).

    Crazy PC deal at Costco *spawn

    It's even the 16GB 4060 Ti and 32GB DDR5 memory 😱 Everyone from Europe is rightfully envious at that price! Intel i7-13700F Raptor Lake (16-core/24-threads) GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB 32GB DDR5 Memory 1TB Solid State Drive 2TB Hard Drive Intel Wi-Fi 6E & BT 5.3 Includes KB + Mouse Really like...

    TSMC wafer pricing

    Isn't it just because it has limited supply? Apple and in some part NVIDIA have pretty much gobbled up whatever supply there was.

    No Rest for the Wicked [PC, PS5, XBS-X/S]

    They are hard at work on a macOS port, which is great to hear. The art direction looks really nice! It's really cool that all the game logging is handled separately from the graphics engine with a new simulation engine - which includes fully 3D deterministic physics system designed for...

    Apple is an existential threat to the PC

    Regardless the aforementioned software is already ported to Aarch64 now 🤷🏼‍♂️ The list also includes Redshift and Zbrush.

    Apple is an existential threat to the PC

    Since nearly all professional applications have already been ported for Aarch64 on macOS you should expect Adobe, Serif Affinity, Davinci Resolve, Blender, Capture One, Python, Java etc.

    Apple is an existential threat to the PC

    The problem is that with 0% market penetration and five devices no one is going to port from x86 to Aarch64 unless Microsoft brings heavy incentives to bridge the issue (or get serious about vertical integration with hardware, software and perhaps moving their consoles to Aarch64 as well). It's...

    Apple is an existential threat to the PC

    12 performance cores at 80 Watt TDP to beat the base M3 with 4 high-efficiency cores and 4 performance cores at 23 Watt TDP. The problem with Windows laptop standby battery life is all the un-core stuff gobbling up power while doing nothing. If Qualcomm can solve that it will surely help a lot...

    Sixty Four (PC/Mac) - "Factory builder"

    Anyone else been playing this? This is my first foray into this genre and it feels like this one has some great mystery to it. My current messy and suboptimal "factory": I have no clue what I am doing but having some fun "grinding" out the story. Steam link: Sixty Four.

    Apple is an existential threat to the PC

    From the review I linked to earlier. It's right there in the pictures I posted in this thread except the M1 Max, which I found from the first result on Google.
