What's an Apple "S-core" or a "all new P-core"? While size isn't everything, silicon area per CPU core can tell you a lot. That's why I made this handy chart👇

I love the colors on this Apple M1 die shot from @fritzchensfritz.bsky.social. I honestly think it deserves to be in an art gallery. It gets even better when you zoom in 😍

Imagine it's 2026 and you are looking to build a new PC. Let's see... AM4 - check. DDR4 - check. 5800X3D - check. RTX 3060 - check. And some say time travel is impossible🤔

In the Windows Task Manager, under "details", you can see if apps are running natively (Arm64) or with a wrapper (x86/x64). Interestingly, the only non-native apps are "MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe", "OfficeClickToRun.exe" and "AsusOLEDShifter.exe".

Due to popular demand: Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme vs Ryzen AI Max+ 395. At least in the naming department they both get the same result: “horrible”

Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (front) vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D (back). The difference is crazy. And it’s laptop vs desktop too.

The A19 Pro is hidden in a secret compartment on the iPhone Air logic board. But with ac lot of convincing I was able to get to it. Will this chip power the MacBook Neo 2?

Taking apart newer iPhone logic boards requires you to heat up the PCB, because RF and SoC boards are a sandwich fused together with solder. It takes >150C and some patience. But the results are great 😍

I’ve taken apart so many iPhones with cheap tools, I thought I deserved an upgrade. Let’s see what this can do!

The new Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus is surprisingly good, with great gaming & productivity performance and efficiency. Increasing the Foveros d2d clk really helped a lot. ARL is actually good now. If only it wasn't the last gen for Socket 1851... (benchmarks by @computerbase.de)

At what point is the #MacBookNeo too powerful? Would a A19 Pro with 12GB be too close to the Air? Or do you think premium features (Force Touch trackpad, backlight keyboard, better screen, MagSafe, etc.) are enough differentiation?

The new Apple coaster arrived. Great product!

The new Apple MacBook Neo is powered by the A18 Pro, a mobile chip that is packaged using TSMC InFO-PoP. The DRAM sits on top of the SoC, it's a single, closed package. That's why the MBN comes with the same amount of 8GB DRAM as the iPhone 16 Pro. Same chip, same package.

Microsoft's new Maia 200 is a massive chip with ~825mm² die size, that's close to the reticle limit! N3P is a guess, but I doubt Microsoft is using N3E in 2026. My initial analysis👇
