  1. Although the Mac mini with the Apple M4 chip does have a pretty respectable graphics performance given its small size, it's still nowhere near my boring, old gaming PC.

    I just ran the "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" benchmark on the M4 and managed to get around 25-35fps in a 1440p resolution. Just for comparison, I then booted up my PC and ... well... it managed over 200fps. On 2160p 4K with highest settings. Holy cow! Probably not a fair fight.😅

  2. Okay, here's something I really DON'T like about the new MacBook Neo. It looks like it doesn't support any scaled resolutions using a 4K display. If you want your icons to be bigger, you'd have to use a smaller resolution. This is really unfortunate. 😟

    My M4 Mac mini is giving me these scaled options, which are a lot nicer to look at.

    Oh, well... it is what it is.

  3. I've been messing around with my cheap, little box of a Mac mini by installing a few Steam games and doing some screen recording with Quicktime. All of this is running in full 4K resolution. Apple's M4 processor really isn't that bad! 😉

  4. Apple's new iPad Air with an M4 chip is up to 30% faster than the previous-gen, and has 50% more memory, support for WiFi 7, and an optional Apple C1X cellular modem. Prices start at $599 for an 11 inch model or $799 for the 13 inch version. apple.com/newsroom/2026/03/app

  5. Cinebench 2026: Neuer Benchmark fordert CPUs und Grafikkarten deutlich stärker

  6. I'm just going to say this:

    If the #SteamMachine costs around the same as a #MacMiniM4Pro, I'm going full Apple.

    The iGPU is comparable to the Steam Machine, with a cpu that will smoke it anytime of the day.

  7. Der letzte Absatz sollte so manch Enduser zum Nachdenken anregen: Viele #OpenSource Projekte werden von Freiwilligen in deren Freizeit gestämmt. Da hat es einfach keinen Platz irgendwelche Forderungen zu stellen.

  8. I'm convinced.

    At $1,000, unless you want a very good gaming laptop, the Apple MacBook Air M4 is unbeatable.

  9. And this is why gaming on Mac is still behind the worst #RTX laptop available.

    They should starting to send engineers to studios for properly porting to Metal. Guess what NVIDIA does (hence, why DLSS is so prevalent).

  10. Is there any difference between computing AI workloads in Vulkan, OpenCL and CUDA?

    I know that some people say that NVIDIA doesn't support (quite well) OpenCL or Vulkan, performance is achieved by using CUDA. But what is the story for other vendors (Intel, AMD, QualComm, Apple) ?

  11. Apple bereitet Ankündigung des MacBook Air mit M4-Chip vor
    Apple wird voraussichtlich in dieser Woche das neue MacBook Air mit M4-Chip vorstellen. Laut Mark Gurman, nun leitender Redakteur für Verbrauchertechnologie bei Bloomberg, gibt es keine Verzögerungen

  12. I thought it was going to be HX 370 and Core 200 all around, but no, everyone wants the best of the best, or heavily discounted previous gen devices.

    It makes sense. If you have the money, #AppleM4 is the best option for almost anybody, otherwise those Ryzen 8000 and Intel Core 100 are going to be very cheap.
