In my opinion this is very much a Windows problem. Many Linux distros run well on both x86_x64 and ARM 32/64 (also seen in the Switch "hack"). macOS actually still runs on both x86_x64 without issue. I think the WinTel runs deep within Microsoft and for some reason they either can't or are...

Just based of the 13900k die shot and the M3 die shot It's pretty obvious Intel has more space dedicated to the CPU than than Apple Silicon does. The 13900K P cores alone take up at least 30% of the die, with e cores it's about 50%. Apple Silicon of the base M line is about 20ish%...

That's for the entire SoC. Let's not forget that the iGPU in Apple Silicon is far more capable than that found in the 14900k. For that comparison to work you need to compare the CPU to CPU transistor count and I don't believe there is anyway to obtain that information without hours and hours...

Hardware wise they are! (well at least Xbox and PS). Sadly, they are just limited to what Sony and MS allow to be installed on them. Given the commission story MS/Sony/Nintendo generate from these consoles I don't think anything short of gov intervention or user uprising that results in lose...

I've never trusted the individual submissions to GeekBench, the first 4 entries on the single core tests don't even look real, let alone all of the other anomalies in other submissions. They do publish an average of the scores which is probably more useful when comparing processors, but I've...

I'll bite... As someone who uses Linux, Windows and Mac the answer for me is no, I wasn't. I started my life off using Dos and Windows. Later I had to start using Linux for work and backing development, I used to do this in a VM, but then when the original OS X was released based on Unix...

I think the real issue is people in general have become over complacent in the last 10ish years when it comes to non-political issues. Companies and people can dump all over someone(s) and it will generate some blow back on Social Media but no one takes any real action against those doing it...

It only has 4 performance cores and 6 e cores. The fact that its performance is 69% of a processor that has 4 more performance cores and 12 more e cores is pretty impressive. If the M4 architecture can scale, an M4 Pro or Max could beat a 14900K in both single and multi thread benchmarks while...

Scraping websites is a difficult and ever changing problem. It also makes detecting and getting changes difficult and if you get too fancy trying to scrape too much content at once you could end up overwhelming the service. Throwing some money at Prosus & Naspers (owners of StackOverflow) to...

From what stand point are you trying to make this argument? I use and help train ML models every day, that includes NN, LLM, GAN, etc.. If you understand how they work they you would quickly understand the assertions are being made by you and some others don't align with the technology. The...

There have been lawsuits for copy and pasting from StackOverflow. Granted these cases apply to when a someone copy and pasted code from a non permissive license product to StackOverflow and then another user took that code from StackOverflow and then copy and pasted into their product, but it...

I think the argument is they launched first. However, assuming Qualcomm's, AMD's and Intel's NPUs match what has been announced the lead will be short lived. I'm also assuming Apple will release an "M4 Ultra/Extrema/whatever over the top marking name Apple comes up with" that will probably...

The specific instance I referenced happened this year with a recent model and upgraded hardware. There was also an instance recently where it drove into flood waters. These aren't 10 year old models and 10 year old hardware. Wamo is allowed too, but they on operate purely different...

Did you see the one where a Tesla in "AutoPilot" mode didn't recognize the median in a roundabout and drove right through it (this was recent BTW)? The reason for this, today's "AI" doesn't do what many people think it does, it doesn't think, it does not have cognitive abilities, it simply acts...

The disconnect is this statement is not true. You can't not be a developer an have generative AI create a real application for example. Sure, it can output a template and can function, but you can do that in 5 minutes without being a developer either because there are 1000s of websites that...

Sadly that is likely the case! Most people don't understand how computers work, but they rely on them daily for everything and have zero interest in learning how they work. My hope is enough people will be curious that it never gets to where we have zero clue as a species of "how that thing...

For sure, I was careful not to include all job types on purpose. Some things can be more heavily automated using ML/AI that could affect the job landscape. I was more pointing out that it's not yet going to replace more technically/research oriented jobs just yet as the original poster was...

It doesn't really work like that. ML/LLM is not going to invent new science to say cure cancer simply by putting in data points. It does not have that capability, it does not have cognitive abilities. It can mimic reasoning, but it can't think. ML today requires a human to train it by...

I agree. As someone who works with ML daily, ML can do impressive things, but going from what we have today to being able to run the world is a massive leap that is unlikely to happen in 10 years. I do however see lots of uses for what we have today, especially for games and general...

Given TOPS isn't a great metric and they are touting a 50% performance increase over a 2 gen old CPU with two less cores (e cores, but with no SMT, makes a difference) and a node that is almost half in size of the M2's this is a lot of "see what we did" with out a lot of meat to back it up IMO...

OMG... Now they just need to bring back Microsoft Bob and the circle will be complete.

Maybe it's a regional issue they are not addressing? I've had them for 6 years and I have never had an outage in San Diego (honestly not one). I can only speak to their internet service as I have never had their TV service or Cell service (though I'm pretty sure their cell service is just...

1.2 TB in this day and age is way too low. Since the invention of streaming TV I don't think I've ever been under 1 TB and I honestly don't stream that much content. 2.5 TB is probably what a heavy user really looks like these days.

I don't agree with this take at all. I'm very quick to update OS versions, hell my Linux and mac machines are all on the latest OS versions. I would move to Win 11 too if they would just fix the performance issues, but MS has almost completely lost control of quality in the OS division over...

Definitely worse companies. Disney has been on my list of eval crops for 25 years now. Nintendo is at least only at 20.

I'm not so sure about that. While Win 11 isn't Vista or Windows 8, it is on the level of Windows ME and I don't recall many people every saying they wished they had Windows ME back. What I remember most people not liking about Windows XP was some Win95 and Win 3.x programs didn't work...

My 2 cents on this is the "Start Button" really should just go away. Whether it's Android, macOS, Window, etc. I'm much more inclined to just use the search options, type in the one or two letters for the app and select it from the list. The issue is, casual users just can't seem to get out of...

Alpine isn't really a desktop distro, it's targeted more towards non-tiny embedded and server environments. Still a fun experiment I'm sure.

I ended up going back to 10. MS never fixed the shutter issue a lot of people are having with Hyper-V and some frame shuttering that occurs with various games (Microsoft Flight Simulator for example). None of those issues exist for me when using Windows 10. I've tested Win 11 every new...

This can be done with device filtering at the network layer and/or required provisioning software installed (MDM for example). None of the fortune 500 companies I've ever worked at required logging into VPN on site, they simply didn't allow a device to connect to the network if it was...

I guess that is one way to ensure people come into the office.

I doubt there be a new name. The flawed 4080 chips will have whatever extra working parts beyond what the 4070 requires disabled in firmware most likely.

I'm not convinced the average consumer is going to care about this. Creative professionals/developers for sure, but that's a much smaller percentage of the overall PC sales. As "AI" stands today I don't see where the value add is going to come from for the consumer vs just using a cloud service.

I was exaggerating a bit with 8K, but I read people complaining about smart phone screen resolutions all the time even though you would have to stick you face on the screen to see a pixel for higher end models (which is where I see people saying dumb things like, oh still no 4K...). People also...

The issue is people who don't understand resolutions and distance will be demanding 8K on those handhelds by then and will sap any energy savings gained.

Assuming everything SemiAccurate said ends up being true, the minute independent benchmarks come out Qualcomm would be in big trouble. Maybe they are crazy enough to try, but that seems like the fastest way to have your product killed and lawsuits thrown at your company. Guess we'll find out...

JS/TS will never replace close to metal languages. No serious Database, OS, embedded solution is written in JavaScript and with WASM, JavaScript's popularity has actually been flat/falling since 2021. As for C++, that's just crazy talk, C, sure I don't think C is going anywhere, but there is a...

I'm shocked a 10 core cpu beats an 8 core cpu in multi core scores (X Plus vs M3). When you compare equal core counts it looks like the X Elite is about on par with an M3 Pro (15,610 vs 15,683 respectively).

They are not arguing a pure speed. They are auguring performance per watt which is Qualcomm's point. This is also package SoC wattage, not just iGPU.

I guess that is one way to increase revenue for a shrinking OS division...
