#6441.35x speed up in single core versus M3 Max. Insane. Everyone else has failed to bump single core performance in years. Where are these single core gains coming from?
AMD, Apple, Arm, and Qualcomm have increased single-core performance every generation. I guess Intel has been stalled due to their fab problems.

#645Neat, now put the M5 Pro or Max in a 24-inch iMac, and sell it with a reasonable amount of RAM (more than 24GB).
Get the Mac Studio and whatever monitor you want.

#646I love the following section of their copy: > Even More Value for Upgraders > The new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max mark a major leap for pro users. There’s never been a better time for customers to upgrade from a previous generation of MacBook Pro with Apple silicon or an Intel-based Mac. I read as "Whoops we made the M1 Macbook Pro too good, please upgrade!" I think I will get another 2-5 years…
The real improvement was the number of displays supported and, in some cases, removing the Touch Bar and adding HDMI/SD.

>Time to first token measured with an 8K-token prompt using a 14-billion parameter model with 4-bit quantization Oh dear 14B and 4-bit quant? There are going to be a lot of embarrassed programmers who need to explain to their engineering managers why their Macbook can't reasonably run LLMs like they said it could. (This already happened at my fortune 20 company lol)
I wonder if Apple has foresight into locally running LLMs becoming sufficiently useful.
It won’t handle serious tasks but I have Gemma 3 installed on my M2 Mac and it is good for most of my needs—-esp data I don’t want a corporation getting its hands on.

Same here. I know some people are unhappy with some of the UX tweaks but honestly I don't notice much of it. The whole liquid glass thing is a bit gimmicky. Other than that, I don't see much difference. The rounded corners on windows are a bit silly. But I don't spend a lot of time fiddling with windows. Most of my windows are maximized (not full screen). I'm sure there are other issues people dislike that I just hav…
Is your Spotlight usable? Mine literally will not find an app Searching for Chat yields "Ask ChatGPT", "ChatGPT Atlas", "ChatGPT Atlas" the website, and chatgpt.com. Does not yield the actual ChatGPT.app which I have currently open lol.
Raycast replaced spotlight for me years ago. Highly recommend replacing your spotlight hotkey with it.

#650The hardware looks amazing! Too bad they will ship with Tahoe installed. I’m not upgrading until I see in which direction the next Mac OS release goes
Tahoe is just fine. Been using MacBooks since 2012 and never had an issue. UI just looks nicer now.
