So, I see some threads here in the forum about updating microcodes, and they quickly gather many posts from folks who are apparently more up to date on the benefits of updating such. I thought that perhaps the rest of us might benefit if those most knowledgeable would be able to enlighten us...
Hi there,
In September I will start my studies in Civil Engineering in Ghent University (Belgium). I'm looking for a laptop with several required specifications. One of them is that I need an Intel HD graphics 5500 (or higher) GPU, so I can run Intel Virtualization Technology and VT-d in BIOS...
Seems like Intel has released an updated Power Gadget after they removed links to the old versions today morning. Anyone tested it yet?

Im planning to configure it for 32GB RAM with the 560x GPU
I just dont know which processor.. by looking at the benchmarks I see the numbers but honestly.. how am I suppose to know if 200pts or 500...
A lot of forum members are rejoicing today; it truly is a moment of relief. Many will finally upgrade their 2009 and even 2015 models. The 2018 revision is a substantial upgrade in many ways: 32 GBs of 'DDR4 RAM' (finally), T2 chip, Hey Siri, Bluetooth 5.0, Core i9, 4 TB SSD option, standard 4...

I thought I would post this here because this could be a very exciting development for the Classic Mac Pro.
These dGPU's could bring QuickSync to the Classic Mac, enabling AirPlay, Netflix, hardware...
Ah... Again with this Linux stuff, I know. Anyway my last attempt with a Linux desktop, well didn't work out too well, mostly because I planned a Windows 10 build and had issues. And the hardware was completely overkill and new for Linux.
So I've been thinking about a proper Linux box, probably...
What I would like to see apple do.
Across the board:
Improved camera for low light performance.
HDR display.
Improved cooling performance.
Improved battery.
Improved keyboard that is resistant to a speck of dust.
Stereo microphones, left and right.
Thin and light should not be a priority of...
Hi everyone, I've had my iMac for a few months and it works great, but I have noticed that there is a static noise every time I scroll down or up a webpage and go back and forth. I looked into it and see that some people are also affected by it and I don't know if anyone has an idea about it. I...
We all know about the move this year with 8th gen processors, resulting in 6 core mainstream iMacs, but recent reports have suggested that Intel’s 9th generation chips will go even further.
Expected is i3s and i5s hyperthreading (4 core/8 thread and 6 core/12 thread respectively), as well as the...
If anyone has a new i8700/8700k or 7820x build, and they're power PS/Lightroom users, how's your experience?
I've heard/read of a lot of complaints and problems using adobe software, as well as Capture One Pro 10 with the new 7820x and 7900x. Wondering if people are experiencing issues with...
3 weeks in, Just wondering if anyone here had the intel moden iphone x first on the Tmobile network and has done the move to the verizon qualcomm modem on the Tmobile network,
do you see any performance differences on the tmobile network between the two ? (Don’t care about speed that much...
With the announcements of the intel + AMD combo and hexacore processors, I feel like I should wait for the next 15” MacBook Pro; however, I need a laptop now.
Sold my 12.9 iPad to downsize to 10.5 iPad, and doing all my coding, photoshopping, schoolwork and running a business is getting tiring...
Quick background - Apple again will have at least 2 versions of the iPhone X - one with a Qualcomm modem for CDMA networks (Verizon/Sprint) and one with an Intel modem for GSM networks (AT&T/T-Mobile). There is some evidence, most anecdotal, that the superior Qualcomm chip outperforms the Intel...
Hello and good night Apple Hardware experts: Too many questions, is not? And please be respectful and don´t call me names. I suppose my questions are valid and not moronic or senseless gibberish. Having said the latter, please free to contribute, speculate, dream....:):oops::D
Hi. I have a MBP from 2011 (4GB of RAM, Intel i5 2.4GHz, Intel IGP 5000 graphics)
Im having a serious slowdown problem recently, and was wondering if the RAM was the issue? Could this be it, or do I need to be looking into another source of the problem (Maybe need to clean the inside, etc.)...
Hi, I recently was able to fix my Late 2011 MacBook Pro by using advice from a thread in MacRumors and a youtube video that someone created. The thread was: Force 2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 with failed AMD GPU to ALWAYS use Intel integrated GPU...
I am up and running however I have a nice 32 inch...
Dell, today, announced its XPS 13 refresh with Quad Core Intel Kaby Lake processors. Starting price is $1,400 and up. With brands such as Dell adopting the 8th gen CPU's so quickly, it wouldn't be surprising for Apple to follow suit. We might see new MacBook Pro's by late October, early November...
Apple definitely surprised me with its results in Q3. But looking at this chart, I was left wondering if Samsung is at a much higher ground with skyrocketing semiconductor sales! Especially after taking down even Intel Corp.
