Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The new 11-inch and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro models feature Apple’s latest M4, which is mass produced on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process, which itself is a pretty big deal when discussing advanced manufacturing nodes. However, there are some subtle changes that the company has introduced to its latest Apple Silicon, which helps to increase total data bandwidth and allows for more possibilities. That includes four Thunderbolt controllers, making it twice as much as what the M3 sports. Having additional Thunderbolt controllers on the M4 allows for hooking up more high-resolution monitors and other peripherals that require insane bandwidth levels A valuable […]
A few hours have passed since Apple officially unveiled the M4 and the first iPad Pro featuring the SoC has allegedly been benchmarked on Geekbench 6. Sadly, we cannot compare the single-core and multi-core scores against the M3 or the M2 because the leak revolves around the chipset’s Machine Learning performance, but that does not mean we cannot dive deep and check out its other specifications. New Geekbench 6 shows that the fastest M4 core is running at 3.93GHz, 3 percent slower than the M3 The M4 iPad Pro that showed up on the benchmarking website features the identifier iPad16,3, […]
Apple’s M4 has been positioned as a new chipset that delivers a major leap in performance and efficiency since the company skipped the M3 for the latest iPad Pro models in favor of its successor. However, while the CPU difference between the two SoCs could be major, various claims are being made regarding the GPU performance being identical to the M4 and M3. Here, we take a closer look at these claims and see if they hold some truth. With a higher CPU core count, the M4 may only deliver a noteworthy gain in compute performance An interesting thing to note […]
The new iPad Pro family is scheduled to launch on May 7, during Apple’s ‘Let Loose’ event. So far, the company has done a tremendous job in preventing hardware leaks of its latest tablets but looking at the company’s past custom chipset releases, we assumed that the newer models would sport the M3 chipset. However, the latest report states that the technology giant could skip this Apple Silicon and introduce the new M4, granting the new iPad Pro models advanced AI capabilities. In short, we could see Apple’s first AI-centric products getting announced very soon. The report shares no M4 […]
Qualcomm officially took the wraps off the Snapdragon X Elite, revealing that there was not one but three SKUs that will be found in various premium notebooks, with the fourth one being the less powerful Snapdragon X Plus. The SoC was recently benchmarked in the upcoming Microsoft Surface Laptop 6, operating at 4.00GHz, suggesting that it is one of the two versions that supports boost clock technology. The scores show that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest silicon continues to outpace Apple’s M3, but it has yet to overtake the higher-end chipsets. Snapdragon X Elite running in the Surface Laptop 6 is 16 […]
Qualcomm is not the only company to claim that the Snapdragon X Elite is faster than Apple’s M3, as Microsoft is also planning a slew of comparisons to showcase the upcoming chipset’s capabilities. According to people familiar with the software giant’s plans, it intends to reveal some demos of the notebook silicon in an attempt to highlight that the M3 is the inferior SoC. In multi-core performance, Qualcomm claims that the Snapdragon X Elite is 21 percent faster than the M3, conveniently leaves out single-core results Microsoft is gearing up for its event in Seattle next month, with The Verge reporting that […]
Apple's in-house chips are some of the finest in terms of performance and efficiency. So much so that I have been meaning to upgrade to a Mac myself, but it appears that all M1, M2, and M3-powered Macs have a severe flaw that cannot be fixed. The unfixable GoFletch flaw found in the Apple Silicon can completely break any encryption Researchers have discovered a flaw they are calling GoFetch, and this flaw is found in Apple's M1, M2, and M3 series of chipsets. This flaw allows someone to extract security keys from these chips, and this extraction breaks all encryption […]
A short while after Qualcomm had officially unveiled the Snapdragon X Elite, the company claimed that its latest ARM-based silicon is up to 21 percent faster than Apple’s M3 in multi-core performance. When it comes to being the fastest SoC between the two, Qualcomm was correct in its claims, but not that much regarding accuracy, as you will find out shortly after we take a deeper dive into the latest performance comparison. Snapdragon X Elite is only 16 percent faster than the M3 in multi-core performance, and that too while sporting a higher core count Just recently, Samsung’s Galaxy Book […]
The Snapdragon X Elite was announced in late October, and shortly after, Apple countered with its first 3nm chipsets for the Mac lineup, the M3, M3 Pro, and the M3 Max, which also launched in the same month. The San Diego firm has come out with a bold statement now, claiming that its latest SoC is up to 21 percent faster than the M3 in multi-core performance. However, despite supposedly having the edge, a Qualcomm PR manager says that the experience will be different, and that has to do with both chipsets powering different operating systems. Qualcomm PR manager hints […]
Apple has been reported on multiple occasions to transition from mini-LED technology to OLED on the 2024 iPad Pro models, giving both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch a serious display upgrade, according to one analyst who provides his predictions on the premium tablet range. One of those predictions is that the newer models will be equipped with Apple’s 3nm M3 chipset. Analyst believes that the 2024 iPad Pro models will ship up to 8 million units, which is lower than mini-LED versions, possibly due to the high price Though analyst Ming-Chi Kuo did not predict the launch timeline of the 2024 […]
The latest benchmarks of Apple's M3 CPUs are in and the M3 Pro specifically has secured the top position in PassMark's single-thread benchmark. Apple M3 Pro Grabs Away The Top Single-Core CPU Spot From Intel's Core i9-14900K In PassMark Benchmark The Intel Core i9-14900K CPU became the fastest single-threaded chip in the PassMark benchmark last month when it made its debut but it didn't take long for Apple's M3 CPU family to replace it as the new fastest chip on the block. The benchmark database now includes performance scores of all three M3 SKUs which include the M3 8-Core, M3 […]
