    Ezio Auditore reacted to hishnash in Apple will announce move to ARM-based Macs later this month, says report   
    Moving to ARM has not affect of right to repair at all. 

     
    Apple will have Adobe on stage and they will show it working well already dont worry apple are well aware of this. 
     
    For the macPro target user ARM is a much better solution, even if you go for vanilla ARM. For the macPro it is all about mutli-threaded performance.

    * Building a 32core or even 64core ARM cpu is easy, even people like AWS have been doing this.
    * ARM cpus support DDR6 the improved memory speed/latency will be a massive perf improvement for pro workloads.
    * ARM supports PCIe4 and even PCIe5 (this year) and has supported PCIe4 for over 4 year now! this will mean apple can drop the costly PCIe switch they have on the motherboard and improve bandwidth to the slots.

     Replacing the iMacs cpu with an ARM cpu will be the hardest, since the iMac is the mac with the highest single core clock speed. The macPros single core performance is != iPhone 10 (Xeons are just not built for single core speed).

    A gaming mac would require apple to do what Sony does and pay off a load of developers... does not matter about the hardware **content is king**. 


     
     
    Apple moving to ARM will result in a lot more server side ARM as well. A lot fo people i work with are reluctant to use server side ARM solutions due to not having a local dev solution that is the same.. (not that it matters these days we are all writing code in such high level languages that the cpu instructions are utterly un-related).   It comes at just the right time but i expect the ARM server chip makers are very happy with apples move to ARM in the consumer space.
     
    No modern software is written for modern compilers, even if your using AVX etc you are not writing raw assembly any more, you are annotating your code so that the compiler generates AVX instructions. Turns out the LLVM (the compiler that you use if you produce macOS applications) can compile to ARM just as well as to x86 and can even take code with AVX annotations and produce working code for ARM cpus...  

    LLVM is a mutli layered compiler your code is first compiled to LLVM IR then to LLVM bytecode (a bit like jave-bytecode) then LLVM runs a load of optimisations on it at this level then it can (optionally you can just run it as bytecode) be compiled down to the cpu. But the layer that reads your source code does not even know about what target cpu you will compile down to at the end. So code written to compile with LLVM is not written for x86 it is written for LLVm IR/Bytecode.

    So if the autopilot license is with the user and not the car that means you don't need to buy it again when you change your car to a newer one, right?
    Would be fun to counter them with that in court.

    Ezio Auditore reacted to Oshino Shinobu in I don't get why people like/want wirelesscharging?   
    It's not like it's replaced wired charging. If you need the features you've mentioned, use wired charging...
     
    I use wireless most of the time because it's less effort. You can just put it down and pick it up without worrying about a cable. If I need fast charging or something, I'll just plug my phone in when I need it. 
     
    It has downsides, but it doesn't need to be one or the other, does it?

    Samsung handed out 200 brand new retail packaged note 8(s) to passengers in a flight from Madrid to A Coruna. This was reportedly in response to note 7 explosions. (I hope you appreciate me not using the cliched puns).
    These phones nearly cost 1000$ in spain.
