Parallels vs VMware Fusion (can we save money?)
Intro So, with VMware Fusion Pro now being free, I wanted to do some testing to see if I can make the switch from Parallels, and save myself from having to renew my Parallels at the end of next month. I've been running Parallels on Appel Silicon since 2021, and VMware Fusion Player on Apple...- Edgecrusherr

Real World Mac Mini Pro Experience, and WOW!
I've been running on two computers for the last two years: Dec 2015 iMac loaded to the max for the time. Dell G7 maxed in late 2020 with a big Nvidia card, etc. Got my new Mac Mini Pro fully loaded with 1TB internal drive. What I've experienced is a little mind blowing for the money. Boot... -

The unsung heroes in the M2 Pro: the efficiency cores
Hi. I've run a few tests on my new MBP 14'' with the low-end M2-Pro (10 core). I'm particularly impressed with the efficiency cores! In a compile test using clang to compile an Open Source project, I found that doing a parallel build with the 4 efficiency cores takes ~ 6 times longer than the...- chris11

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

Additional examples of 8-GPU M2 Air outperforming 10-GPU model?
Like many prospective M2 MacBook Air buyers, I have seen GregsGadgets' game benchmark video showing the M2 Air with 8 GPU cores outperforming the 10 GPU core unit, side by side -- presumably due to more significant thermal throttling in the 10-GPU core unit due to the additional cores.

Are there any M1 versus MBP 13" Early-2015 benchmarks?
This is purely for my own indulgence. I'm replacing the i7 3.1ghz Early-2015 13" MBP that has been amazing for all these years with a 14" M1 Pro 10/16/16 machine.
