Should Apple bring back the Xserve with Apple silicon?
In the 2000s, Apple sold the Xserve, a rack-mounted server system. In 2011, it was discontinued and replaced with server versions of the Mac mini and Mac Pro. Over a decade after the Xserve was discontinued, Apple is about to transition the Mac Pro to Apple silicon, with M2 Ultra or M2 Extreme...- LeoI07

OS X The future of Mac gaming is bright

Logic Pro 10.7.4 on M1 Pro freezes when opening, closing or moving third party plugins.
hi, I’m on a brand-new 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021, and Logic Pro 10.7.4 keeps freezing when running third party plugins. These plugins are actually optimized for Apple Silicon.

M2 MacBook Air throttling is being vastly over-exaggerated
From the evidence I've seen, I believe firmly that people are vastly overhyping the effects of the throttling in the M2 MacBook Air. The YouTube review I've seen so far with the most thorough benchmarks is Dave2D's, and he went so far as to say that "if you're someone that wants a very powerful...- mattyjoe

M2 Pro/Max Macbook Memory pricing
Here's a pricing experiment: Since we now know the M2 chip is able to be loaded with up to 24gb of unified, with options of 8gb and 16gb, it stands to reason that the future M2 Pro/Max Macbooks will have up to 48gb and 96gb of unified memory respectively.

Guys, Please don't compare CR23 or Geekbench GPU compute scores for Apple silicon against an x86 processor or Nvidia/AMD GPU respectively.
tl;dr - They are not fair comparisons. I'm not going to be very deep but just enough to make you guys understand things. 1. Cinebench R23 CR23's render engine uses Intel Embree which is Intel's library to accelerate Ray tracing compute using CPU. It supports various SIMD instruction sets for...- im_jerry87
