    MP 6,1 Memory speed: Is there a real performance difference?

    Hi Now that I've my lovely and beautiful TrashCan to play with, i'm of course willing to max it out as it's so cheap to buy stuff on the market. I've ordered a E5-2667 v2 to keep high clock speed on single core but at the same time a bunch of cores for the one or two WM i'm running on VMWare...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) - performance on iPadOS 16 in 2022

    Hello everyone, I’ve been looking at a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the 3rd generation model, from 2018. How is the performance on these iPads as of today? The Apple A12X in these is a very capable processor, but they have 4GB of memory. This amount definitely seems low in theory, although the 4th...

    Virtual Memory Swap?

    Hello, I’m interested to learn more about the virtual memory swap feature. This sounds like what I have been wanting to see added to iPadOS for a long while. Does this mean memory will swap to storage when necessary and will prevent apps refreshing and Safari tabs reloading due to memory...

    Other Possible solutions: Make the app switcher always full and/or eliminate the "not running" state

    The App Switcher on an iPhone always starts out empty after completing setup, then it starts getting filled up as soon as you launch an app for the first time. But because of https://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/10/force-quitting-apps-doesnt-help-battery/, swiping apps out of the App Switcher makes...

    4 months later: Intel V M1 Max memory

    I've generally been thrilled with my new 14MBP. (Mont 12.2.) However, this week I noticed my memory pressure was in the 'yellow', and straightforward applications such as Discord and What's app was consuming large amounts of memory. I tried the same apps in an identical setup on an 2017...

    Keyboard lag?

    Has anyone had this? Same thing happened with my iPhone XS although much worse. Was also noticeable on iOS 14. I now have an iPhone 13 with a clean install and still see this but not as much. Mostly in Safari with a few tabs open or Amazon app. Thinking this a memory management issue? I have...

    Apple Silicon and DDR5

    The DDR5 standard, along with more memory channels could raise APU graphics performance to levels currently impossible. An M3 chip, with, say LPDDR5 6400? The same standard would also advantage AMD's iGPU performance. One theory for AMD currently shipping APUs with Vega cores that are...

    27" iMac Upgrading Memory

    Five plus years later, and outside of some display retention issues around the edge of the screen after long use, I still am a huge fan of my Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 iMac. With that being said, I have found myself looking at memory upgrades. Needed? Maybe not, but also of some "why not"...

    M1 MBA owners with 8Gb... any regrets not getting 16?

    I have always been a believer in never going light on RAM in a computer. So far my 8gb in the MBA seems like it is enough. But I keep thinking long term would I have been better off with 16?

    Is the M1 GPU sharing LPDDR4 RAM going to be enough?

    I’ve been researching what the MX/2 GPU cores could be comparable to and have a few big questions. 1. It does seem that app devs are reporting the same max 5.xgb usage. 2. It also seems pretty accepted that the M1 GPU is sharing the LPDDR4 system RAM. 3. Could the new chip (M2?) include 64GB of...

When this happens I’m also getting Bluetooth connection starts and...
