Differences in vector processing performance between the M1 Max and M3 Pro, and in their use of power. Their frequency control is more complex.
M1
macOS Sonoma is currently forked into two: one series of builds for M3 Macs, and another for all the rest. How does that affect the user?
Looks at power use and energy efficiency in M3 Pro chips, deriving equations for energy use according to numbers of cores used and their role.
Using assembly language test loops to understand the differences between M1 Pro and M3 Pro CPU cores casts new light on their differences.
These fix a bug when restoring a VM window that has been minimised to the Dock.
Little seems to have changed in CPU cores in M3 chips, if you read reviews. Dig a bit deeper and there are major changes, as explained here.
My MacBook Pro 16-inch is on its way. Why is it coming with an M3 Pro and not an M3 Max?
We used to reset the Desktop, the SMC, and NVRAM, install the Combo updater, or perform a clean install. Now there’s only Safe mode left.
Apple silicon Macs are designed and built for reliability. Using old techniques to safeguard from disaster isn’t wise: they need to be reappraised, and contingencies planned accordingly.
Many of us keep an emergency external drive at the ready by our Mac, in case we need to use it to recover from problems. What’s the equivalent for Apple silicon?
