No, Apple isn't achieving that bandwidth with DDR4: "M2 uses LPDDR5-6400" Don't get me wrong, it's stunning performance, and having it on the same package as the CPU and GPU has other benefits.

Also, you couldn't buy a 3080 at launch, it was never in stock. Now, the real 4080 16 GB is too close to the 4090 in price to be worth it. For the moment, it is the best to wait for AMD and hope it will be good.

Don't look at graphic cards.

It's not going to happen, the production costs alone don't permit that.
5.
by dispat0r 4y ago
At least for now, the cost reduction stopped.

Yeah, as a German, I can say it works flawlessly. Cough France with its old, neglected reactor fleet is constantly more green(less co2) than Germany.

TWh used should be the standard, nobody cares for produced energy that isn't used.

We don't Electrolyse Hydrogen in Germany there is not one large-scale installation. You can't pump 100% hydrogen in the natural gas infrastructure, and the gas plants need to support hydrogen burning. You also need a surplus of e

Germany doesn't have the infrastructure to import from other sources. The LNG terminals don't work yet, and the capacity is too low and LNG is much more expansive than the Russian pipeline gas. And even if we have the LNG infrastr

Germany will just no longer have the fourth-largest economy in the world. There is no way to substitute gas short term, long term you can replace it with electric alternatives. But these electric alternatives do not run on a grid with just

No, you can't maintain them forever. The EDF is mismanaged, in Germany we never had this kind of problems with nuclear plants. South Korea also has an excellent track record with building new plants.

Germany already has nuclear waste, we have to deal with it one way or another. I think permanent storage is a bad solution, most of the energy is still in there and further utilization will also reduce the danger of the waste.

You are right, Germany should have build new nuclear plants in 2000. The renewables make the German energy grid unstable and expensive, we have the highest power cost in the world currently with no end in sight, also no storage for the ren

Yeah, the 400 billion which Germany invested in renewables really paid off. I'm pretty sure for the same sum you would get a nuclear reactor or two.
16.
by dispat0r 4y ago
Nobody has built to that scale, and you would need a global energy grid which all countries share. Sounds like a pipe dream.
17.
by dispat0r 4y ago
If you mean nuclear with clean energy, yes, but you can't run a power grid with renewables you always need a backup gas is out so what is left?

There are also people who forget Apple is using TSMCs best node exclusively. Don't get me wrong, it's impressive stuff, but nothing AMD or Intel cant do in the future.

Maybe not happiness but definitely living standards. In the US air conditioning systems are common in Germany not so much.
20.
by dispat0r 5y ago
You also have to pay the gas. Gas backups for power are just stupid without any own supply. In winter, we also need the gas for heating, that will not change in the next 30-40 years.

It should be done, but that's almost impossible. Retro fitting to a heat pump is very expensive, you have to replace all radiators with underfloor heating and the insulation has to be redone. While this is done, you can't live in

Heat pumps are also loud.

Apple has a node advantage.

I guess people need to experience a full blown blackout to get over their fear of nuclear power.
25.
by dispat0r 5y ago
That's not true. There is an exit strategy for coal in germany and at least for now it's still going. Next year they will shutdown the remaining nuclear plants. That will be the moment of truth.
26.
by dispat0r 6y ago
Fully agree but this will not happen and it's also too late building nuclear plants takes decades and the know how to construct them is also gone in Germany. We will try to shut off coal plants until we get a huge blackout then we go b

wind energy is so cheap why are india and china still building new coal plants?
28.
by dispat0r 6y ago
You're arguing in bad faith. Yes the new reactors are expensive and late but also a new class EPR. There is also no plan from France to transation away from nuclear.
29.
by dispat0r 6y ago
In Switzerland it's a political decision same as Germany it has nothing todo with cost or the ability to run the plants.

> improving in capacity at immense rates There is almost no increase in capacity at least not without making the batteries bigger.
