THIS KILLS THE x86
>>
>>109642951
What a sudden announcement of M6, I thought it would be announced at the September event with the MacBook Ultra or whatever.
x86-64 desktop PCs still didn't catch up to the raw performance of Apple M1 in a MacBook Air, so I guess Apple isn't too worried.

how can one ifag be so wrong
>>
>locked bootloaders
no thanks
>>
>>109642970
first time an M chip is releasing on a PC before an iPad right? new times for Apple indeed
>>
are they still cutting corners on the SSDs and artificially cutting the speed in half?
>>
>>109643447
Mac bootloaders are literally unlockable officially, that's how Asahi Linux exists in the first place
>>
>>109642951
how many times are they gonna kill x86 until x86 is dead?
>>
>>109643487
They haven't done that since the M2 I think?
>>
>>109642951
>THIS KILLS THE x86
not until it is fully supported by linux, nope.
>>
>>109642951
It's crazy how Apple ships new chips so quickly and regularly
By the time AMD releases Zen 6 for laptops Apple will have done gone from M4 to M7
>>
>>109643551
they did it for the m3 too and i stopped caring since then
>>
>>109643475
>Mac PC
>tablet
They're the same shit, so no big deal
>>
>>109643656
because AMD went full into servers
they don't care about desktop 'puters
sure apple is moving fast
they are already cooking m7 probably?
wtf is even intel doing with their 180W thermo nuclear reactors, LOL?
>>
>>109642970
least delusional macfag
>>
>>109643583
no one outside of india uses linux
>>
>>109644005
TIL india encompasses entire earth
>>
>>109644005
only women and faggots use macos
>>
>>109644024
most people on earth use Windows & BSD operating systems on their computers
>>
>>109643516
I'll see you when Apple drops out the support.
>>109644005
FYI, a fake Apple larper Indian posted this.

I love my macbook pro m4 pro
But I also love my Arch Linux desktop for gaming
>>
i will never buy a 'mac'

Too bad their lack of cooling means it becomes a toaster even playing 20 year old games

Imagine the molten lava
>>
>>109642970
did they say they aren't going to upgrade macbooks with M6 Pro/Max until 2028
>>
>>109643516
and after years of work you have incomplete support only for M1 and M2 chips

buying of apple silicon is collecting e-waste
>>
>>109644084
Well the base macbook air is def not for gaming, but the 16 inch pro version has active fans like regular laptop. Also modern wow is not 20 years old game, the engine is different.
>>109642970
>>109644127
Upcoming ultra redesign will use m5 pro/max variant. There won't be m6 pro/max variant. Only with m7 next year.
I think they are testing 2NM production with this product, before they commit.
>>109644128
m1 still has latest macOS support + golden gate (which will be like 3 years after they will release it?) after that they still release security updates for last 2 macOS versions, at that point m1 will have 10+ years of support.
>>
>>109644128
>buying of apple silicon is collecting e-waste
as opposed to buying
m1 minis with 8gb of ram are going to outlast your modern plastic laptop with ryzen
>>
>>109644231
my plastic laptop with ryzen can work endlessly with Linux installed

Apple will work as long as Apple will support it
>>
>>109644256
>Apple will work as long as Apple will support it
It will last forever when i install asahi linux on it
>>
>>109644256
>my plastic laptop with ryzen can work endlessly with Linux installed

Yeah, but it's slow and laggy with malware directly installed from official arch aur repos.

>>109644084
14 inch m4 pro mbp here, yeah it gets hot trying to do anything not super simple gaming
do I need to use one of those fan controls?
>>
>>109642951
>x86
x86 will never die so long as apple keeps their shit locked down

we're really fortunate to have x86 and how open it ended up being
>>
>>109642951
How good will it be at Blender?

>>109644926
Have you found an altchan that focuses on actual tech?

I'm tried umigalaxy but it's vive coded and there's only a webp autist posting there.
>>
>>109644909
everything besides rendered viewport and rendering will probably be insane. it's already quite good on the m4/m5 pro+ chips. but without cuda, it will still be so far behind even modest nvidia cards
>>
>>109645086
>but without cuda, it will still be so far behind even modest nvidia cards

The M5 Max already beats the 3090 Ti and 5070 Ti, and comes within inches of the 4080 Super.

Not so different from current state of 4chan
>>
>>109645147
fair point but it's also 3x the price
>>
>>109642951
Maybe if they actually made the cpus available. But they only come soldered into shitty Mac garbage that I would not even accept for free.
>>
>>109642951
>THIS KILLS THE x86
soon
>>
>>109642951
I think Apple really was on the way to killing x86 for a few years starting with M1, but this 50% price bump completely annihilates their momentum.
