Only on the internet can companies “fail” to do something someone else said they heard from a friend who heard from a friend who heard it from another friend…
It will last longer on battery than on wall power. If you run it on battery, it will last two or so hours. If you run it on wall current, the chip will melt down in half that time.
Go back to Apple's Apple Silicon announcement. The AS Mac Pro was supposed to be released at the end of last year. Nothing from Cupertino, not even a heads up saying it's going to be delayed.
Is it? I find functionality is more largely defined by the OS and applications than by hardware. I have looked at the Surface - what am I missing… beneath the surface? (Not sorry, I had to make the pun.)
Are you talking about the speed as it takes off from the fans or the speed of the detonation when the cores go critical?
What I would like to know is: has anyone found anything like the IME on the AS? I remember reading that AMD has an analogous issue, but nothing about AS.
Power specs from: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...-36m-cache-up-to-5-60-ghz/specifications.html
Processor Base Power: 55 W
Maximum Turbo Power: 157 W
Minimum Assured Power: 45 W
That 157 W probably can't be sustained on any reasonable sized notebook but no battery will last long with that kind of power draw. Now add in a discrete GPU and you really aren't talking mobile any longer. This CPU is really for an all in one portable desktop machine with a battery backup.

Pretty soon they will stop advertising battery life and start saying it has a built-in UPS.
🤣
Bad timing to announce this when electricity prices are on the rise.
Every Intel-based MacBook Pro throttled like crazy under load. I would expect this chip to produce similar behavior, unless a cooling block like the heavy copper heatsink in the Mac Studio Ultra is deployed in a laptop. hah.
This is wonderful!. So glad to see them getting some more milage out of the ancient 10nm fab machines.
Think of the money they save, and can pass on to the consumer!. Of course this maybe be offset a little by an increase in your power bill, but it's probably not MORE expensive, in the end. Break even? Don't know.
Go Intel

HAHA I guess with those two scenarios I will have to go with both with the going critical happening first IMO.
Ahhh gotcha I am following now lol
x68 chip news seems so unimportant now. Like hearing about about advances in film cameras or turntables. Nice for those who are into that sort of thing, but largely irrelevant for the future of most people's computing needs.
What are you talking about? It's significantly smaller than this other mobile computer that is situated on a moving planet, thus "mobile":

Geeze, kids. Who cares how much power it uses? It's not like there are going to be rolling blackouts in the USA or anything like that.
Anything running x86 shouldn't be called "mobile" at this point.
Kids? Isn't it the adults who tell you to turn off the lights, and don't stand there with the fridge door open?
Geez is right!
The competition is great! With Intel, AMD and Apple all fighting over desktops and laptops and Apple and Qualcomm (and others) fighting over phones and tablets, we should start seeing significant improvements over the coming years.
Of course it’ll be a monster of a powerhouse but it’ll consume 200W and melt your legs into a pile of goo. Not to mention, why only 8 performance cores and 16 efficient ones? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
