Parents iMac M1 broke down - what would you do?
Take it to a very reputable repair store that specializes in microsoldering. I guess the quote of 850€ is from apple for a swap cause its imposible it costs that for a soldering repair. I dont know what exactly happens to the board as you didnt specify but im very sure if it doesnt boot its just a v

Graviton5 Outperforming Intel Xeon Granite Rapids But Falls Short Of AMD EPYC Turin
I was compiling an updated dataset here and was surprised the way the SPEC single thread numbers puts Turin head and shoulders above apple silicon (well, i think it's more apple silicon just not doing great in it) which I was not expecting. I think it's just not a great choice of bench but the forma

Mac Mini and Mac Studio Facing Extreme Shipping Delays Amid Severe RAM Shortage
Except this is exactly why the high RAM devices are in such shortage. They ARE running OpenClaw LLMs locally, as the 64GB Mac mini option is near unmatched in terms of available memory, memory bandwidth and power consumption. For the cost of an Nvidia GPU capped at 24GB (and not accounting for other

Sanity check: Mac Mini M4 Pro (64GB) + DIY 40Gbps 4TB Drive for Local AI. Am I doing this right?
ARM Mac writes/reads at about 70%-80% of max speed of external drives on M1...M3 ands lightly faster on M4/5 Pro Macs . NO EXTERNAL DRIVE WILL READ/WRITE FASTER THAN AN INTERNAL SSD as internal SSD is used in most if not all regular writes/reads. In a Mac, file caching occurs in both RAM and on the

M4 32gb 512gb or M4 pro 24gb 512gb
Pro has much faster RAM AND SSD .. NO EXTERNAL DRIVE WILL READ/WRITE FASTER THAN AN INTERNAL SSD as internal SSD is used in most if not all regular writes/reads. In a Mac, file caching occurs in both RAM and on the SSD. 256 GB SSD writes at 1,500-2,000 MB/s. It will constrain effective speed of USB4

Apple Announces Plans to Begin Assembling Mac Mini in U.S. This Year
I guess I'm weird and irregular... I upgraded from an M1 Max Mac Studio to an M4 Pro Mac mini and love it. I'm able to emulate games in RPCS3 at higher resolutions with better FPS. The CPU improvements are noticeable. I also have an M4 MacBook Air but I find myself using my Mac mini much, much more.

Sequoia 15.7.4 Running Smooth and Fast
My 2018 MBP and M4 Pro Mac Mini running beautifully with Sequoia! I’m hoping someone at Apple wakes Tim Cook the Fu&@ up and they reverse course with MacOS 27 and return to sanity. Otherwise, I’ll just have to ride with Sequoia until it no longer functions reliably. Then I’ll have no choice but to g

Does anyone know if Apple is actually planning to better optimize its use of Apple Silicon cores in Logic Pro ?
It’s pretty optimized, I’m not sure what you mean here. Audio processing isn’t always best handled by parallel processing on multiple cores. It’s critical when recording audio that everything happens sequentially and single cores do that more reliably. RAM is going to be the thing that makes the dif

Still getting system overloads after upgrading computers
I only know what you’ve told me so based on that I’m making some guesses: The project you’re in maybe isn’t so modestly sized. Or maybe you’re running too many plugins. Everyone thinks 10 plugins per track on a 50 track session is normal. If you need all that then it’s time to start freezing tracks.
