That would leave smaller companies in the mid-west or other LCOL places behind. Only companies with enough revenue can compete (mostly tech).

With all the hidden fees and exorbitant cleaning fees, I think it is much cheaper to book a hotel than an airbnb nowadays. No wonder demand is going down.

ARM should gain about 30% in a single gen to be competitive with Apple/Qualcomm processors. It's going to be interesting to see if they can achieve this. Ultimately, competition is good for the consumer. Android phones are so far

This is why we should only trust reviews from reputed independent publications. But good for the market and AMD if these claims are true. Competition breeds innovation.

The reasons mentioned are exactly the reasons to have work-life balance. You have time, you have energy, you have less responsibilities. You should travel, explore various hobbies, and experience new things. By the time you are in your 30s,

AMD/Intel run at ~5 GHz at peak. Using that vs Apple's 3.7 GHz, you can see that the M2 is roughly ~20% better than the others at iso power.

Is there any article comparing benchmarks for the same power envelope between Apple and AMD/Intel laptops? All I find are comparisons with the desktop parts.

Apple pays a premium to TSMC to reserve the early runs on the next gen nodes. They can do this because they can charge their users a premium for Apple devices. I am not sure the rest of the players have that much pricing power or margins.

Any pointers to their advice as to what the reason is?

Absolutely the right thing to do given what Apple did to previous collaborators like Imagination Technologies for GPUs and what they tried to do to Qualcomm for modems. https://mashable.com/article/apple-imagination-tak

Pretty surprised by the results here.. wonder what changes are under the hood for such a good showing.

"Company X" in the comments is SiFive, I am guessing?

Why was the compromise made for LLVM 10 with the Apache license and not for GCC with the v3 GPL license?

If portability of other OSes has taught us anything, it is that the interfaces are much cleaner if you are to support multiple architectures. I think it comes down to having people/companies interested in porting it to ARM64, not about

Even the performance claims do not really hold up anymore. Freebsd in general performs better and not surprising since it has so many more resources.

I don't think this will be anywhere near as good as the M1, since they are using the ARM Neoverse cores.

If someone is looking to learn a new language should they spend the effort on learning C++ or Go/Rust/<others>?

There is no inherent advantage to the ARM architecture other than it being designed recently (64-bit ARM is less than a decade old) whereas x86 has a lot of baggage it has to carry. There is no proof that these outperform traditional CPUs a

Finally something reasonable and bipartisan. Here's hoping it passes and gets signed into law...

at what price though?

May be by the time Mac has an ARM processor, your deployment server might also be an ARM server. :)

Don't be. It is a very well paying job which rewards the efforts put in.

This is good distro for developers by developers. I wouldn't suggest it for everyday users though. There are too many beta quality bugs since it uses really bleeding edge releases.
