It's a completely locked down system - does it matter if the GPU isn't open source?
Maybe I misunderstood "portable MAME cabinets, video transcoders, scene displays" and the comparison to the RPi but surely the intention is to run your own code on it from the bootloader up?
The dearth of WWDC rumors this year is really amazing to me. Apple really is taking leaks very seriously. We're 10 days away from the keynote, and absolutely nothing is getting out. This speculation is the best that Macworld can do? No offense to them, but I mean, the rumors are slim pickings. I really hope that Apple fixes its laptop lineup at WWDC. It's a complete and total shitshow right now. And that's coming fro…
The only reason I'm with MacBook is vendor lock-in with my work environment but that isn't going to last forever.

Surely there's got to be something like that available already. I'm mostly dealing with low powered M0/M4 boards, but the selection in this range is massive.
Well, the price is wrong, but nvidia's Jetson platform is very powerful compared to the *board SBCs: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=march-20...
Note that the first benchmark in the mentioned article is an outlier.

Only getting 8gb RAM in my 2015 13” Macbook Pro is one of my greatest regrets.

iOS is not particularly different from OSX. That's why Apple developers get to use a super fast simulator instead of the dog slow emulator we Android developers are stuck with.
Similarities between iOS and macOS don't have much to do with it. The reason the Android emulator is slow is that it is actually emulating an ARM CPU. The iOS simulator, on the other hand, is running an iOS natively built for x86, and Xcode targets the x86 architecture when you build your app for the simulator.
Couldn’t something similar be done with Android on Linux, running x86 Android and using the host system’s kernel?
Have chips ever been critical features? I mean the ones that add features like NFC ok, but doesn't every chip make phones "faster"?
The iPhone 3G to the 3Gs was an amazing leap in usability though. Everything just worked so much better, mostly just due to faster chips as far as I'm aware.
