Until now, the so-called Hackintosh community had its followers. People who, after researching the components, assemble PCs specially designed to run macOS unofficially thanks to the system’s compatibility with Intel processors. There are very recent videos of this type of computer achieving performance comparable to that of the Mac Pro, although with certain drawbacks. But ...
Activist Intel investor sent letter ask the company to explore important “strategic alternatives”, according to Reuters. The letter shows this investment fund’s concern over the position of the Santa Clara, California-based company. And also because of the threats posed by AMD and TSMC, as well as the abandonment of important customers like Apple, Microsoft and ...
During the 1950s, the tech world found a reliable partner in silicon, and since then – and it’s been around 70 years – it has continued to be used. Let’s say that thanks to silicon, instead of having computers the size of a room, we have the PCs we know today, some that even fit ...
The Mac has a mode that Apple calls “macOS Recovery” (Recovery Mode) that you can use when you need to perform some kind of maintenance on your Mac computer. Apple has support documents to describe macOS recovery. And we must now clearly distinguish between Mac models based on the Intel chip and the more recent ...
When Apple considered migrating its computing platforms from Intel processors to its own custom Apple Silicon chips, there was a lot of trepidation as to whether Apple could compete with Intel and, indeed, AMD. Apple has proven that it is capable of making powerful chips, as we have seen on their iPhone and iPad mobile ...
The popular HomeKit accessory maker Standby, has just announced that its application is switching from iPhones and iPads to the new Apple Silicon Macs. Take advantage of the M1’s compatibility with iOS and iPadOS applications and now have its new version suitable for new Macs. This is a clear example of the relationship between all ...
Apple has considerably better processors for future Macs. The M1 chip, its eight-core processor and GPU, is just the start, and the company has made sure it focuses on Intel’s fastest circuits. According to a report by Bloomberg, the chips in new Macs are expected to outperform high-end PCs. In its next versions, which would ...
The first Macs equipped with processors designed by Apple have finally arrived. But inside, they’re not like other computers. Apple first introduced its approach to systems design, learned over years of iterating on the iPhone and iPad, on the Mac. Those of us who are used to thinking of personal computers in certain terms are ...
Macs with M1 processors are here. What we’ve been able to see so far is nothing short of stunning performance, especially compared to previous Intel chips. But this is, as we know, only the beginning. The M1 is the first in a whole family of chips that will now power Macs. As impressive as these ...
All the Macs that Apple introduced of the new generation of computers with Apple Silicon use the same chip: the M1. This leaves us with two variables to configure our computer, the amount of storage and the amount of RAM. At Max Tech, they compare this last variable and they rate the performance of two ...
