High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 25/08/2026What'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👇 1160

High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I 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 😍 051

High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Due 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” 350
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (front) vs Ryzen 7 5800X3D (back). The difference is crazy. And it’s laptop vs desktop too. 020
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 11/04/2026The 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? 050
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Taking 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 😍 040
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 09/04/2026I’ve taken apart so many iPhones with cheap tools, I thought I deserved an upgrade. Let’s see what this can do! 0110

High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 23/03/2026The 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) 060
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 13/03/2026At 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? 240
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 04/03/2026The 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. 070
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Microsoft'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👇 0110

High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Apple A19 SoC chip analysis based on images by ChipWise: 2 P-cores with 8MB shared L2$, 4 E-cores with 4MB shared L2$, a 8-core NPU (Apple calls it 16-cores), 2x 6MB System Level Cache (SLC) and a 5-core GPU. All on TSMCs N3P and smaller than the previous A18. 0120
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 22/09/2025MediaTek claims their new 3nm Dimensity 9500 SoC has the worlds 1st "compute-in-memory" NPU. If that's actually real CIM, this is a breakthrough. 140
High Yield @highyield.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Rubin CPX looks very similar to GB202, at least in the image Nvidia released. Could be very well a full GPU, with raster engines, PCI-Expess and display outputs. While unlikely, it might be how the RTX 6090 will look like. 151
