It mentions Edge is also losing MV2: is it? Any source after the 2024 Neowin article that an Edge Canary build 16 months ago disabled UBO? No issues with UBO on Edge 149 (stable) and it's still available on the Edge Add-ons (it was fea

>Cortex-X4 a.k.a. Neoverse V3 has significantly lower performance per core than Zen 5. I don't quite believe that, especially per core. In SPECint2017 from David Huang [1], Zen5 (HX 370) @ 5.1 GHz boost = 9.9 points, so Zen5 is appr

It is likely the hardware effiency of their chips. Apple SoCs running industry-standard benchmarks still run very cool, yet still show dominant performance. The OS efficiency helps, but even under extreme stress tests like SPEC, the Apple S

This seems mostly misinformed. 1) Apple Silicon outperforms all laptop CPUs in the same power envelope on 1T on industry-standard tests: it's not predominantly due to "optimizing their software stack". SPECint, SPECfp, Geekbe

The article is estimating 15,000; however, Intel confirmed a "more than 15% headcount reduction". As of June 29, 2024, according to their Q2 2024 release: Intel: 116,500 employees Mobileye & other subsidiaries: 5,300 NAND: 3,5

I would've preferred the gov't handing Intel a check and expecting, in return, 1) ownership stake of Intel, including governance, for xx years 2) stock buyback ban 3) stock dividend ban 4) golden parachute ban 5) far more public d

Projected to be better by Intel and Intel alone. Intel has disclosed virtually no details of Intel 18A on any industry-standard metric: perf / W with an Arm core, transistor density; precise perf & density improvements over Intel 4

This is purely a DIY problem for six-month old systems. Not a single OEM desktop or laptop sold in the past six months as new should have any of these issues. UEFI is non-negotiable, TPM 2.0 is virtually universal, and you only need to be S

Thank you for the reply. Great to hear it's on Framework's radar. While the reparability helps (as I'm used to even $800 laptops calling for $300 screens + webcam + Wi-Fi antenna), if it's profitable for Framework, it&#x

Thank you so much for starting this project and hopefully long-term investment. Incredibly refreshing. The site is down for the moment. What is the situation about warranty? Do you plan to offer multi-year options? I’m all for repairing my

Agreed. Zen3 would’ve been killer and cooler to boot. I wonder if it is a supply concern? Zen2 laptops also ~seemed~ in scarce supply for quite some time last year, even after the launch. How to tease out Intel’s anti-competitive belligeren

That's because Intel (back then, the only real high-perf CPU) rejected ARM as an inferior, slow technology. And blatantly ahistorical on "money": where is your citation? https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks&#x2F

P.A. Semi was partially responsible for the A4 and maybe A5? What about A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14? You casually state "making it better and better", as if that's a regular occurrence for CPU architects over the

Actually, Qualcomm noted the 888 is just 25% faster than the 865 in "overall performance". And that's Qualcomm's marketing number. So Qualcomm didn't even compare the 888 to their latest 865+ CPU: it'll be less

What are these numbers based on? Just your "best estimate"? It's dismissive of Apple's uarch for what reason? Arm has architecture licenses, unlike x86: anyone could've designed an Arm CPU from the ground up. NVIDIA
