So this is why the integer multiply accumulate instruction mullah, only delivers the most significant bits? Ironic if you aren't religious about these things.
Apple’s M1 processor and the full 128-bit integer product

Re: Apple’s M1 processor and the full 128-bit integer product
#172I love my M1, but does anyone else have horrific performance when resuming from wake? It’s like it swaps everything to disk and takes a full minute to come back to life.
I tried reinstalling OSX, now it seems fine! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Feel free to report it in Feedback Assistant.
I gave up on reporting bugs to Apple a while ago. The experience, repeated several times over, of spending all the time to file a radar, gather all the logs and files that Apple insists on (probably reasonably), then submitting the thing and getting exactly zero feedback for the next year when you are then told to repeat all the same work on a new macos version or the radar will be automatically closed, is demoralizi…
It helps more than nothing. I would recommend just becoming more casual about it.
My experience maintaining projects is actually not that people don't provide enough info in their bugs (certainly true for random forum rants though), but when they try they try too hard and end up spending a long time writing a bunch of stuff I don't even read, because the log speaks for itself.
In this case you're not necessarily reaching an engineer, it could go to someone who combines reports together, or the fix is because of your report but it doesn't get communicated back properly, but it's still letting someone know it's a problem.

In that case it's a confusing point, given GGP calls this nothingness "the real innovation of the M1". GP is asking what the innovation is.
It’s clearer if for M1 you read “the new architecture promoted by Apple around their M1 processor”.
What new architecture? Other than the addition of a neural unit, it's an identical architecture to every other APU from the last decade?

It would be more clear if someone answered the question.

TSMC is based in on the soil of one of America's allies.
An ally who China is dreaming of re-assimilating (or taken over, depending on which side of the view you are) since its inception. China is engaging in ever more aggressive saber rattling and the total lack of any measurable reaction to their takeover of Hong Kong only has emboldened them. Who can guarantee Taiwan won't end up the same fate?
I am very aware of the situation, being a resident of Hong Kong, and it's completely different. Hong Kong is indisputably a part of the People's Republic of China, and the Basic Law (our Constitution) is part of the constitution of the PRC. The government of Hong Kong has always emphasised that Hong Kong is part of One Country.
Taiwan is completely self-governed at the moment and sees itself as an independent nation.

No, it's perfect, instant wake for me. I have never seen anything like this. I have buggy apps (like Facebook Messenger) locking up, but I guess that's normal, I just uninstall them.
Which M1 do you have?
16 GB RAM pro 1TB SSD.
I guess the only drawback compared to MB Air is that it's a bit heavier.

Air starts at $1500 if you're not in the USA
This isn't entirely accurate. The Air starts at 1129 EUR in Germany, presumably it's the same in the rest of Europe. That's 1344 USD right now, but that's not an entirely fair comparison since this price is after tax whereas the USD prices are generally before tax. Before taxes, the Air is actually 1129 USD in Germany (current exchange rate and taxes cancel each other out). More than a 1000, but significantly less th…
1498 EUR in Croatia. I'm glad is cheaper for you.
edit: I love I how I keep getting downvoted on HN if I dare say anything about the M1. Even if it's the true like the price of the machine.

Based on U.S. prices, it's more like $999 vs $609 for similar specs (but no doubt a nicer machine and much better screen/touchpad with the Air.) https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Laptop-Newest-Display/...
The <10 second comparison I did was between an ASUS A15 and a 16" MacBook. $1000 vs $2500.
There is no 16" MacBook.
The 16" MacBook Pro is not an M1.
The Air starts at $999, the mini at $699 (official list from Apple itself), $899/$679 education.

I'm sorry it's more expensive for you, I just wanted to point out that there are locations which are not the US, such as parts of mainland Europe, where this claim does also not hold.
I just checked and it appears that notebooksbilliger.de sells the Air M1 starting at 1057 EUR and is willing to ship to Croatia for 30 EUR. If you were interested, maybe that's a better alternative.
Edit: Amazon.de charges 1079 EUR and seems happy enough to ship to consumers in Croatia as well for around 14 EUR. I haven't tried completing an order, obviously, but there are no relevant restrictions listed.
