Apple lifts the sheet on a trio of 'scary fast' M3 SoCs built on a 3nm process

Re: Or for less money ...

And you’d lose a metric ton of IPC in the process. Which is the major selling point of the M-series chips.

Re: WTF?

Who knows, you should ask the U.S. military.

So what if China has 7nm chips now, there's no Huawei it can make them 'at scale'

Re: Lay off guys

…And you’re giving us shit for helping Ukraine retain their sovereignty?? Should we have just let Russia steamroll them?

Say what you want about representative democracy, it can be very ugly. I agree.

I’ll still take it every day of the week over communism. When one man consolidates power (with no checks/balances to prevent it in the first place), it never ends well. We had a demagogue. We voted the shitbag out of office. I truly wish China and Russia could do the same.

Re: Lay off guys

…and -who- started that war in Ukraine?

Oh, I forgot, Russia. Who pillaged, raped, and murdered? Who cut off a grain trade route many nations depended on? Who is wanted by the international criminal court for abducting Ukrainian children? Ahh, “strongman” Putin of Russia.

Re: Lay off guys

Uhh… do you know how much greenhouse gases China alone releases annually? They’ve poured more concrete in the last decade than the U.S. has in the last CENTURY.

I’m not saying U.S are angels by any means, but you should be equally critical.

Re: Lay off guys

Intel’s “7nm” process (Intel 4/3) is supposed to generally be more on par with TSMC N4/N3. So SMIC’s N+2 7nm-class process won’t have near the transistor density. Granted, this all depends on Intel actually executing for once and releasing a pile of the damn transistors in the first place.

I’m personally more excited for the GAAFET (Intel’s silly-named, so-called “RibbonFET”) transistor architecture. I think it’s gonna be a bigger jump than planar to FinFET was.

Wake me up when we have 2D transistors with channels made of graphene being manufactured, with high yields, though.

Re: I thought the ban is because of national security

Ugh… McCarthy was a scourge upon this nation.

Re: What ?

It’s utterly insane how smooth they are able to get their mirrors…

Re: What ?

U.S R&D (via DARPA research) is what led to EUV, patents that have been licensed to ASML.

The U.S. government has a ton of patents on transistor design and lithography techniques, and EUV (and things like, you know, the internet) was made possible by research done by DARPA, if memory serves me correctly,

The nail, you hit it so cleanly centerline, that it collapsed into a singularity.

About ducking time: Apple fixes up autocorrect in iOS 17

Fucking dinally.

Can confirm, the transformer models prevent the ducking mallards from transforming (lelel) a usually serious tone into neither seeing-red aggravation, nor coffee-out-the-nose hilarity.

I don’t miss either.

Re: FFS Google...

Anarchy. I love it.

Uncle Sam needs novel memory for nuke sims. So why did it choose Intel?

Re: Intel

That’s what I’m thinking, at the very least, they can -possibly- be agile in developing new technology not bound by legacy designs.

Intel = Integrated Electronics…

Sure looks like Beijing stole blueprints from chip fab world's ASML

Wow, really impressive whataboutism. Every single comment you’ve posted contains heaps of it.
