Without knowing it, you're thinking at neither high nor low level. You've accepted at face value claims made by RISC-V architects about how to design an ISA for low level embedded controllers, but they weren't actual experts

PassMark is "more honest"? It represents a varied load??? No, sorry, it's just not good. Seriously, read their own documentation. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_test_info.html Right from the top it's

You're way offtopic just because you wanted to be all dumb and tribal. Nobody claimed APFS was better than your favorite filesystem, simmer down. But also, I wanted to let you know that even in your tribalism you're being stupid.

Outside of a handful of special ultra-unlocked iPhones Apple sells (or loans maybe? Don't remember the details) to security researchers, no, you cannot reliably boot your own OS on iPhone hardware. Apple's secure boot ROM only tr

1. The consequences of playing loud sounds with no protection are unlikely to involve open flames. You're just going to fry speaker coils, after which they won't sound good (or make much sound at all). 2. Apple doesn't imple

"MacOS on ARM handles memory differently, try it you might like it." The only sense in which this claim is true is that macOS on Arm uses a 16KiB page size, while macOS on Intel uses a 4KiB page size. This is actually less space

re: four M1 variants, the clever thing is that from a certain perspective, they've only designed two. It's just that one of those two (M1 Max) was designed such that it could be scaled down down to M1 Pro and up to M1 Ultra. On s

"There is already a living example of a custom Apple-designed external graphics card. Apple designed and released Afterburner, a custom "accelerator" card targeted at video editing with the gen 3 Mac Pro in 2019. Afterburner

"The CPU can't possibly get too cold" - Untrue. There are plenty of chips with what overclockers like to call "cold bugs". Sequential logic (flipflops) has a setup time requirement. This means the combinatorial co

They did open up their hardware to other operating systems: they engineered a feature into their secure boot system which allows a Mac's owner to attest (with physical presence required) that they'd like to run a kernel not signed

"There is no hardware in the M1's for x86 emulation. Rosetta 2 does on the fly translation for JIT and caches translation for x86_864 binaries on first launch." This is not quite correct. First, as I understand it anyways, Ro

"CPUs are a chump's game" - what? High performance CPUs which nevertheless use very little power are extremely difficult to design. "AMD's Ryzen 7 4800u hit 4ghz over 8 cores" - It doesn't. AMD specifies

Incorrect. Apple's original presentations on Arm Macs suggested that booting other operating systems would be supported, and recently this has been confirmed by two of the engineers who worked on it. https://twitter.com&#x2F

"the display, which draws up to 5x more power than the CPU does" - wat? Apple-supplied monitoring tools report that M1 under full load (all CPU and GPU cores) can draw over 30 watts. Laptop displays don't consume 150 watts.
