You Say Wah Edition
Top Story
- Apple has announced its M4 CPU, just months after the M3. (Ars Technica)
It's 50% faster.
50% faster than what, you ask.
Shut up, they explained.
- Along with the M4 CPU comes a new range of iPad Pros using it. (AnandTech)
These start at $1000 and go up to $3000.
That is, the cheapest model costs more than my new laptop and the extra memory and storage I bought for it.
Tech News
- Speaking of laptops, the old new laptop - the one I bought two years ago that has been waiting all this time to be set up - has a working Windows license again.
And it runs my modded Minecraft instance at 60fps with shaders enabled.
It could probably do more but it's only a 60fps screen.
- Asus leaked the part number and specs of AMD's upcoming Strix Point laptop chips. (AnandTech)
Twelve cores - four Zen 5 and eight Zen 5c, which are identical but run at clock speeds about 25% lower, 36MB cache, a top speed of 5.1GHz on the main cores, and 77 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of AI thingy.
That's double the AI thingy of Apple's M4, which has a 38 TOPS thingy.
- China's latest GPU beats the best chips from AMD. (Tom's Hardware)
That is, the best chips from AMD from 2008.
It's roughly equivalent to a Radeon 4850. I had one of those. Passive cooler. Played Mass Effect and Dragon Age on it.
It definitely slowed down in big combat scenes but it was mostly okay.
- Micron's new LPCAMM2 memory modules are now available for purchase. (WCCFTech)
In one speed, LPDDR5X-7500.
$175 for 32GB and $330 for 64GB. Not cheap but 80% cheaper than Apple and even more cheaper than replacing your whole computer because the RAM is soldered in place not that I'm bitter about that right now.
- An OpenAI executive says that ChatGPT will be "laughably bad" in twelve months. (Business Insider)
Hey, give yourself some credit. It's laughably bad right now.

I saw someone spreading a rumor that the new iPad Pros would be upgradeable to MacOS, because obviously Apple would open up the platform so you could use all that power. I didn't ask him how many moons his home planet had.

Anywhere between zero and seven, just like ours.

I am disappointed in the quality of names for Our Close Companions. someone should really hold an internet poll, so that Moony McMoonface can take its rightful place among the stars.
