    Aspects where Intel Macs still outperform the M1 models?

    I'm happy to read other threads on this topic but I couldn't find one that's just a quick overview on the aspects where the Intel Macs are still better than the Apple Silicon models. Off the topic of my head quickly, it's the following: Multiple (external) monitors Support for booting into...

    2021 iMac

    Its pretty obvious that the 2021 imac will get a new refresh. Like its been 8 years since they've stuck with the same aluminium body design. Still does look timeless and new but needs a refresh. But is it possible that apple installs the m1 chip or a new apple silicon processor in the imac?

    Apple could really take over the market, but they won't!

    Hi! I really think that Apple has a very real chance of taking over the market with their amazing Apple Silicon CPUs, but unfortunately, due to their pricing strategies, they won't. Think about it, they could really come up with affordable 16-core computers, such as a Mac Mini, or the...

    Slow mouse movement when disabling acceleration on M1 MacBook Air

    Hi, I just bought an M1 MacBook Air and mostly everything works great, with a few exceptions. I usually like to disable mouse acceleration because I'm much more precise with that setting. The way I do it is by going to Terminal and entering defaults write .GlobalPreferences...

    Success: MacOS 9.2 - OSX 10.4 on M1 via QEMU x86

    Hey All, I figured this would be of interest, it's pretty frictionless to run PowerPC OSes via QEMU x86. I fully expected more problems. I haven't seen any try this but I would not be surprised if someone here already has. The requirements are as follows: Xcode + Xcode-select installed x86...

    Washed-out colours in the macOS Interface When Enabling HDR

    Hello. I recently purchased an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of Ram, but I'm experiencing some weird issues with HDR. I think the problem is on the mac side, as everything seems to be OK in Windows 10 (I have a gaming PC too). I own a Del PD2700U 4K Designer Display which while being natively 8-bit...

    Hi all, So I have my new M1 MacBook Air and I’m looking to virtualize Windows and stop carrying around two laptops, now that Windows on ARM supports x64 emulation (albeit horribly, but support nonetheless).

    How does M1 perform as a server?

    I was tempted to name this thread, "GoFundMe: help me replace all of my servers..." :D Hypothetically, has anyone seen impressive benchmarks on the M1 performing as a server? API/Web/Database/FTP/Email... etc? Traditionally speaking, service providers use our favorite flavor of Linux and load...

    x86 (5nm) vs M1 (10nm)

    How much of the performance / power efficiency do you think is attributed to design (and vertical integration) versus being built on a smaller transistor size? If Intel x86 chips were on 5nm today, what do you think the power efficiency/performance gap would be? What if M1 chips were on 10nm...
