What do you do when your Mac refuses to log you in because it thinks your password is incorrect? Don’t rush or panic, but follow these steps.
Running threads at different frequencies on the same core type can’t save energy and extend battery endurance. That’s where 2 core types come in handy.
How power efficiency is just as important to desktop Macs as it is to notebooks, and the story of the Mac mini in power from 2005-2023.
A gentle introduction to the new architecture, from how macOS allocates threads to core types, overflow, variable frequency, ending in huge differences in power.
Few acts can excite an audience as much as the plate-spinner darting between crockery threatening to wobble out […]
When running on M3 hosts, macOS VMs lack support for some of the instruction set, and Accelerate commands may be much slower. Why?
New version helps you check which features are available in your Mac’s CPU, and more, linking to a page here with detailed information.
Apple’s M2 chip uses a newer version of the CPU core instruction set. This increases its capability, thus how well it will cope with future apps and macOS, compared with the M1.
M1 CPUs support ARMv8.5A, which doesn’t support the new bfloat16 floating-point format now widely used in AI. That’s likely to put them at a disadvantage.
