    Devious marketing of M2

    Some sneaky marketing on Apple's part... This article points out that they're comparing the M2 Mac Mini to an older computer (2 generations back) and claiming it's 5x faster than this "bestselling PC." That's pretty devious. How does it compare to a current gen Intel CPU of a similar price...

    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...

    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...

    macOS Is Swift getting slower?

    I learned Swift a few years back and created a few simple iOS, MacOS apps, and also did some hybrid C++/Obj C/Swift coding using Djinni. Coding is more of a sideline / hobby for me, and I tend to be project-focused rather than wedded to a single language / platform. At the time I was coding in...

    Is there any way to find out how fast are usb flash drives are? Perhaps there are apps that can benchmark read & write speeds etc?

    I now have an iMac Pro and maxed out 2019 iMac. AMA.

    A beautiful new base model stock iMac Pro just showed up at my work. It’s a surprise because I was originally denied an upgrade to the Pro version but I think my boss’ boss pulled some strings. I also recently purchased a maxed out 2019 iMac 5K for home use. So I’m in a bit of a unique...

    iMac Pro benchmarks

    I found disparate threads on the iMac Pro but does anyone know when GeekBench typically adds new machines their Mac Benchmarks chart? I'd love to know what kind of score the 18 core config gets.
