Apple Might Launch Its Own Smart Home Camera As It Focuses On Providing A More Integrated Product Experience For Its Users

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 […]

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Runs Flawlessly On An M3 Max MacBook Pro Thanks To Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit 2 And macOS Sequoia

An interesting tidbit found in Apple’s Game Porting Toolkit 2 was that it supports the AVX2 instruction set. For those unfamiliar with this term, modern games such as Alan Wake 2 and  Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart cannot run well on hardware that does not support this instruction set. One M3 Max MacBook Pro owner has now demonstrated that one of the titles runs incredibly well, but there might be another reason why the game can obtain a solid framerate on this hardware. M3 Max sports a minimum of 36GB unified RAM, making it plentiful to run Ratchet & Clank: […]

Apple’s M3 Max Is Faster Than An RTX 4090 In OpenAI’s Whisper Speech Transcribing Test, But Only When Using An Unoptimized Benchmark

The M3 Max is Apple’s most capable 3nm SoC designed for the Mac, with its multi-core performance higher than the M2 Ultra, and its 40-core GPU gives a laptop RTX 4080 a decent run for its money. Despite these improvements, there is still a disparity that exists between laptop GPUs and NVIDIA’s ‘top of the line’ RTX 4090, but in the latest speech transcribing test, the M3 Max outpaces the fastest consumer graphics processor in the world, under the right test conditions that is. With an optimized tool, the M3 Max and M2 Ultra are simply no match for the […]

M3 Max MacBook Pro Gets Modded To Now Feature Eight Times Its Original Configured Storage

Apple has made it near-impossible to allow users to upgrade the storage and RAM of their Macs once they have been purchased, so whatever configuration you get at the time will need to last the rest of its life. However, there are other ways to increase the existing storage on these machines, with one modder showing how he has already gone the extra mile in taking the flash memory of the latest M3 Max MacBook Pro up to eight times its original configuration. Modded M3 Max MacBook Pro now features 8TB of flash storage, which is the maximum supported amount […]

Apple intends to release more 3nm chipsets after the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max, with the next version being the company’s most powerful, the M3 Ultra. Though a previous report stated that the desktop-based Apple Silicon has not gone into broader testing, it could feature up to an 80-core GPU, which is the highest number that the technology giant has ever used for its custom chipsets. Unfortunately, compared to the M2 Ultra, the GPU cores difference is not that much. Top-end M2 Ultra features a 76-core GPU; M3 Ultra may be a disappointing launch if the 80-core version is […]

Apple M3 Pro Takes The Throne of The Fastest CPU In PassMark Single-Thread Benchmark, 1% Faster Than Intel Core i9-14900K

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 […]

M3 Ultra Has Not ‘Gone Into Broad Testing,’ Could Offer Largest Performance Leap Through The Fusion Of Two M3 Max SoCs

Apple is said to announce another 3nm chipset in the future, and according to earlier tests of the M3 Max, it could offer the largest performance leap of a single generation. Unfortunately, according to the latest report, the M3 Ultra, which would be Apple’s fourth SoC mass produced on the cutting-edge manufacturing process, has not gone into broad testing, suggesting that its launch will happen after some time. Assuming Apple sticks with the same ‘UltraFusion’ process, the M3 Ultra could offer an even higher number of performance and efficiency cores Apple started with its M3 transition with the newest 14-inch […]

M3, M3 Pro, Criticized In New Report, Base Apple Silicon ‘Doesn’t Move The Needle Considerably’ But M3 Max ‘Is Quite A Feat’

Apple’s latest 3nm family of Mac chipsets include the M3, M3 Pro, and the M3 Max, and based on various performance tests and leaks, two of them are considered iterative updates over their direct predecessors, while one of them is viewed as a worthy upgrade. In a new report, the base SoC and the M3 Pro are largely criticized as they do not bring anything noteworthy. M3 Max performance compared to desktop chips like the M2 Ultra that power the Mac Studio and Mac Pro In the latest edition of Mark Gurman’s ‘Power On’ newsletter, the Bloomberg reporter provided his […]
