Apple's new exciting M1 CPU was just announced and promises significant performance gains over the companies previous systems equipped with Intel core processors. Unfortunately, in Apple's presentation, the performance numbers shown were at best vague and non-conclusive. That leaves us in the dark as to where exactly the M1 will actually land in terms of CPU performance. That changes today with a tweet from @andysomerfield, who has real performance numbers for the Apple M1 chip in the Affinity
專家稱蘋果在今年更換M1芯片將節省25億美元
蘋果的M1芯片最近絕對是一個重磅炸彈，大家之前經常開玩笑説蘋果什麼時候放棄Intel處理器，性能進步太緩慢了。但誰也沒想到蘋果這次的M1芯片來真的了，在能耗比上表現很突出，現在IBM專家為蘋果算了一筆賬，稱蘋果在
Intel Sells Its Power Management Chip Business, Enpirion, to Mediatek for $85 Million
Intel continues to "shed fat" on its business portfolio. After last year's sale of its smartphone modem chip business to Apple, the company is now parting ways with its power management circuitry division - Enpirion - and offloading it to Richtek, a division of Taiwanese MediaTek. The sale price of $85 million is a drop in the bucket for Intel's overall bottom line, so it's not a way for the company to cash in some desperately needed money - all accounts of Intel's
(PR) Arm Based Fugaku Supercomputer Retains #1 Top500 Spot
Fugaku—the Arm technology-based supercomputer jointly developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu—was awarded the number one spot on the Top500 list for the second time in a row. This achievement further highlights the rapidly evolving demands of high-performance computing (HPC) that Arm technology uniquely addresses through the unmatched combination of power efficiency, performance, and scalability.
In addition to the great work RIKEN and Fujitsu have done, we're seeing more adoption for Arm-based solutions across our ecosystem. ETRI, the
Apple M1 Beats Intel "Willow Cove" in Cinebench R23 Single Core Test?
Maxon ported the its latest Cinebench R23 benchmark to the macOS "Big Sur" Apple M1 platform, and the performance results are groundbreaking. An Apple M1-powered MacBook Pro allegedly scored 1498 points in the single-core Cinebench R23 test, beating the 1382 points of the Core i7-1165G7 reference score as tested by Maxon. These scores were posted to Twitter by an M1 MacBook Pro owner who goes by "@mnloona
I don't expect to have an ARM-based PC any time soon
The ARM-related news of the time interval is of course that Applehas announced several ARM-based Mac laptops and that early (andpreliminary) leaks are that they perform very well and are definitelycompetitive. This raises the great hope in many technical people'sminds of ARM based laptops and desktops from more than Apple, ARMPCs that would run more than Apple's OS X macOS. Thisis especially a dream for many Unix people, who already run littleor no commercial binary software and so in

新Mac可不缺剪視頻的工具：DaVinci Resolve 17.1 beta版已支持蘋果M1芯片
蘋果這次換用了自家M1芯片的Mac電腦在下週就開始出貨了，因為Mac向來都是受到內容創作者喜歡，特別是這次蘋果也強調了新機的性能相比舊款強上數倍，在一些創意應用有更好的表現，比如他們自家的Final Cut Pro，即便是無風扇
Nvidia is working on competing technology to AMD's Smart Access Memory for RTX 30 series GPUs
In brief: AMD touted a new Smart Access Memory feature for its RDNA 2 graphics cards (Radeon RX 6000 series) as something exclusive to an all-AMD configuration, but Nvidia says it will soon enable similar functionality for RTX 30 series Ampere GPUs that work will work when paired with either an AMD or Intel CPU.
When AMD launched its Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards earlier this month, it was shown featuring double the performance of the previous generation (AMD's numbers,
