Apple’s Latest M4 Macs Cannot Run macOS Virtual Machines On Versions Earlier Than macOS Ventura 13.4

Apple announced new Macs with M4 chips a few weeks ago, and they have had a massive jump in performance. Overall, the reviews have been pretty great, but it has now been discovered that the new M4 Macs are unable to run virtual machines with older macOS versions, specifically below macOS Ventura 13.4. Developers and users highlighted the issue, and it remains to be seen if the company will fix the problem. M4 Macs bring the inability to run older versions of macOS on virtual machines

The U.S. ITC Has Concluded That BOE Infringed On Samsung’s Patents, But Will Not Ban The Chinese Firm’s Displays From Being Used By Companies Like Apple

BOE, a Chinese display manufacturer whose panels are expected to be a part of the upcoming iPhone SE 4, seemingly infringed on Samsung’s patents, according to a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling. Fortunately, Apple’s supplier can continue providing its client with the key component because, according to the latest report, the government agency has rejected Samsung’s request to impose a complete ban on the import and sale of BOE products. Samsung’s request to ban BOE displays from being

Blender benchmark highlights how powerful the M4 Max’s graphics truly are

Apple released its new MacBook Pros with M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsets last week – and early CPU benchmarks ( via Geekbench ) painted a very promising picture for Apple’s highest end M4 Max chipset. Now we’re taking a look at some GPU benchmarks, and the M4 Max continues to hold quite strong.

These GPU benchmark scores come from , a test where users can benchmark Blender performance on their device, both in CPU and GPU. Unlike synthetic benchmarks like Geekbench,

A macOS user discovered that the latest M4 Apple silicon does not support visualization of operating systems prior to macOS 13.4 Ventura, which was released in May 2023. When the user tried loading older versions of macOS, the virtual machine failed to load, with the display showing a black screen. They even tried to create the virtual machine (VM) directly on the M4 Mac, which was successful at first, but eventually resulted in the same black screen

(PR) New Ultrafast Memory Boosts Intel Data Center Chips

While Intel's primary product focus is on the processors, or brains, that make computers work, system memory (that's DRAM) is a critical component for performance. This is especially true in servers, where the multiplication of processing cores has outpaced the rise in memory bandwidth (in other words, the memory bandwidth available per core has fallen). In heavy-duty computing jobs like weather modeling, computational fluid dynamics and certain types of AI, this mismatch could create a bottleneck—until now.

Apple quietly gave the M4 MacBook Pro a quantum dot display

M4 MacBook Pro reviews mostly endorsed my own view that, while the machine would make a great purchase for Intel MBP owners, there isn’t a compelling reason for any M-series user to upgrade.

However, it turns out that Apple quietly gave the latest MacBook Pro a new display tech, offering two benefits …

MacBook displays still use IPS LCD screens, though of a far higher quality than offered in most laptops.

Apple describes them by the term miniLED – a reference to the much-improved backlighting in
