Hiring Newbies to call the shots becoming a cost saving pillar that eroded work culture at Boeing is one of those things that indirectly contributed to the recent debacle.

The scariest part of this is those Spec2006 scores. A13 has single core performance on par with a 9900k or 3900X. Apple is probably going to release ARM macs next year.

Yes, the article had a typo. I believe they've corrected it now.

> iCloud has been hacked how many times now? Zero. Phishing exploits managed to get targeted users' passwords. thats what the Celebrity iCloud leak was all about.

It is when they submitted the Apple releases to all these venues the day Apple's keynote invites dropped.

I think the point being made here is why are both numbers not disclosed, and only one was? I think both the time the bug existed and the relevant timeframe of known exploits should be part of a responsible security disclosure. Omitting eith

Those AVX instructions are quite costly though.

I'd give it 2-3 years. They need to implement Marzipan fully, first.

They also have a 192 instruction reorder buffer, and a really well optimized OS.

Apple is going to have a good ecosystem of ARM software very soon. The whole reason they pushed their Marzipan initiative with the ability to seamlessly port iOS (ARM) apps to macOS (x86) is so that they can also do (iOS >>> macOS)

SpecInt/FP is comparing Single core IPC between one A12 BIG core, and one Skylake server CPU core. Per-core power consumption on that Intel chip is 165W/28cores = 5.89W Apple is pushing similar IPC at 3W instead of 5.89W. In that

You're correct. Anandtech is using SpecInt/FP numbers to compare Single core IPC between one A12 BIG core, and one Skylake server CPU core. Per-core power consumption on that Intel chip is 165/28 = 5.89W. Apple is pushing s

Yeah. The S4 Apple watch SoC is actually using Two Tempest (LITTLE) cores. Pretty awesome, if you think about It. That little watch is more powerful than it appears.

Big takeaways: - A12 has 8MB on chip “SoC cache” - Big core L1$ = 128kB; Little Core L1$ = 32kB - For the big core, L2$ is a whopping 128 instances 6MB per core/thread, 8MB at 64KB/inst. - Little core L2$ is 32 instances, 1.5M

Yeah, there's a clear shift coming in the automotive industry. The auto makers who don't have plans for electrification right now are in big trouble. Thankfully, the VW group will actually be okay - they've tasked Porsche&#x2

The new iMac Pros are a good stopgap for pro users on the Apple platform. They are nice machines with plenty of performance. With 4 Thudnerbolt ports, you have some expandability.

I remember those old Sun Blade processors. They were absolutely beastly, provided you had to know-how to extract parallel performance from them :D

Keep in mind that Apple has a veritable army of ARM developers (thanks to the iOS app store) which 1. doesn't suck 2. pays very well 3. has already demonstrated multiplatform apps with iPad / iPhone

> The MacOS ecosystem is both beautiful and deeply troubled. So, shifting it to ARM and letting universal apps in the iOS App store now run on macOS in addition to iPad opens up the mac to a metric fuckton of developers that are happy to

Apple claims the W2 chip is 50% more power efficient than existing Bluetooth/Wifi chips on the market, and is 85% faster than the W1 chip for data throughput.

Apple's watch now has a W2 chip that does Wifi and Bluetooth, and maybe even LTE (which is how they crammed it into such a tiny device). Slowly but surely, they've put together all they'd need for a computer. Their T2 chips i

This has been a long time coming. Facebook went too far, and they did finally push too hard. Creating divides is great for growth early on, but if you do nothing to repair the rifts you make, the structure cannot continue to stand. His ruth

Title II is a double edged sword, IMO. Yes, it keeps NN agreements fair, but it also prevents expansion. However, the ISP's are not to be trusted. They are not benevolent, and have already tried to mess up the internet for everyone. I
