    Can someone tell me what the living heck is `Fuzzing`? I read this twice and I really don't have a single clue other than it having something to do with or requiring fast memory?

    Quantity. In the US, many actually eat meat with every dinner and much of fast food is way outside of safe quantities with ease. Once you get used to the large amounts it gets real…

    As far as we know, all four large cores at max plus the 4 small is ~20W. Whole chip max power use is 30W including GPU and the ML processor. Ryzen also blows a lot of power on thin…

    THIS. I saw multiple headlines calling it a processor, which may be somewhat true but it's not a General purpose processor and certainly is not a CPU. Yes, Apple's T2 chip has an A…

    I think another shock here is that a lot of people discredited the ability of ARM cpus as well. Back when the iPad Pro with the A10X came out, Apple claimed it was faster than half…

    AMD has tried a bit, Intel probably won't. You can still get great numbers on desktop x86 with better cores and processes. Zen 4 is perfectly good so far. Apple's M1 already outper…

    I'm not sure I or really anyone actually wants a 2 day battery life. Like, we can do that on smartphones right now but users have signaled that the 1 day device is fine for them, n…

    Part of it is feedback to me. The timeline view in most Git Apps makes it super clear to see where you are and where you can go. Starting out in Git with an established repo is lik…

    More likely they will ship more Firestorm cores and keep the Icestorm. Their future chip designs will likely be cross desktop/mobile. Keeping Icestorm lowers the cost in whole by a…

    I also feel like Intel's depth is also limited by the breath of CPUS they must develop. With every release they are shipping tons of specific sets of cores and clock speeds to meet…

    Very much agree, I wonder as well. In other news, are there any adaptors out there that let me plug in two 4K displays and pretend to be a double wide single 4K display?

    Yup, whereas the CPU in the SoC is roughly a little better in multicore than a desktop Ryzen 3600X and single core plays way at the top of the Zen 3 line.

    Yup, thats what I did, also if you "work in education" it's $180.

    The multiple monitor thing is weird. The Mac Mini supports more than one, and the one display it DOES support is the Pro Display XDR, which has more pixels than two 4K monitors.

    We are talking about a half-inch thick ultrabook with 18 hours of battery life here. The idea is that this can do the same as what was historically in a thick and heavy gaming lapt…

    Form factor is similar. Brightness is better as stated. I believe you get better speakers in the Pro, the charger is higher wattage and the GPU in the high end air and Pro is 8 cor…

    It's thought that the MBP score is due to it being ran possibly during indexing on setup. The score difference is too big, it's a single sample, and the pro still fries it at singl…

    He ripped apart a very different benchmark for what it was worth, that was GB3 at the time I believe. 5 was a rewrite to make it cross platform-equal. In real world use it actually…

    For sure, but in a world where you have near-infinite CPU power, ram, and performance per watt, the difference would not be noticeable between the two. I really think that the gain…

    For what it is worth, I noticed that there are a lot of little bits added to the phone with the 12 however. The display is an OLED like the Pro, honestly the new phone seems like a…

    This is silliness. This has gotten worlds better by just making chargers that work with everything and realizing that only some cables work for some needs. If you are a big hardwar…
