According to real-world tests, the M1 Ultra performs similar to the top Intel-based computers, even beating the latest Intel chips in some tests, especially when it comes to power efficiency. But even the fastest Apple silicon chip is still not able to compete with Intel-based PCs when it...
Now that we know future Mac devices are going to sport Apple Silicon too, it's helpful to look back at how recent Apple A-series chips compare performance-wise to Macs with Intel processors in them. Here's how the A10 through theA12Z stacks up against similarly performing Intel chips. A1...
Apple Diagnostics runs differently depending on the type of Mac you have. For example,Macs with Apple Silicon(currently using M1, M2, or M3 chips) are a bit different than Macs with Intel chips. In the following sections, find step-by-step guides on how to run diagnostics on a MacBook ...
In today’s Mac lineup, Apple is using Intel chips anywhere from the seventh (really old) to M1 (the latest as of 2020) generation. The breakdown for chip models is currently as follows: MacBook Air and Mac mini use i3, i5, and i7 ...
The demand for AI chips is driven by use of deep learning When I started working as an industry analyst 17 years ago we were taught it was bad form to title an article as a question, but this one is begging to be called “So, how do you compare AI chips?” and the answer is: ...
Newer processes usually translate into more transistor density—the ability to pack more cores, cache, and other structures, or simply fit more chips into the same area—, higher processing frequencies, and/or less power consumption. Apple had the first consumer processors made on TSMC's 7-nm—...
What kind of processing chip do I have in my Mac? The second variable you need to know is what kind of processing chip you have in your Mac—an Apple-based chip (Apple M-series) or an Intel chip. In November 2020, Apple launched its first Macs equipped with M1 chips, replacing the...
or ram. having enough ram enables your computer to store game data in memory instead of having to constantly swap it out to the hard drive. some games require as little as 4 gb to run properly, while others require as much as 16 mb. according to intel, for example, the game journey ...
Power:It’s hard to make things small, so generally speaking, the fastest, most powerful CPU chips from companies like Intel and AMD will be offered for desktop computers before mobile versions make their way into laptops. The same principle is true for all of the other major components, whe...
The M3 Max really is a game-changer. We’ll have to wait and see what Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and laptop manufacturers are able to do next year, but in the meantime, the M3 Max MacBook Pro remains in a class of its own.
