Unless the claim is that an M3 Max MacBook has equivalent GPU type compute power as a dedicated GPU?
I was ready to buy mjolnir few years ago, but while they couldn't decide on basic details (at the time it wasn't clear if the outer shell would be 1 piece of aluminum or multiple) and the competition seems to have delivered a much better range of products.
The laptop mentioned has the 8-core cpu which comes with nvidia geforce rtx 3060.
So they just disabled the dgpu in the bios? Not explicitly mentioned.
So yeah, we seem to have hit a limit with traditional chipsets. Probably why Apple is going full steam on their own ARM SoCs. The iPhones and iPads out now can do some pretty serious work, just imagine what could be achieved by bringing that power to the Mac.
Reminds me of the early brick-sized mobile phones. Sure you could be wireless, but if you wanted to use it more than few minutes, you had to find yourself a power socket.
Seems like that could be addressed with one of two adapters:
- A passive adapter cable with a female ATX connector (with the 3.3V and 5V pins disconnected) and male ATX12VO connector
- An active adapter cable/board with a female ATX12VO connector, the necessary circuits to step voltages down to 3.3V and 5V, and a male ATX connector.
One or both of these could happen today and immediately solve that chicken-and-egg problem for the custom market, no?

I find this a bit puzzling for density reasons. I can definitely appreciate the clock speed benefits. One 64-core part (AMD EPYC 7742) has the same TDP of 225W, so power should be in the same ballpark. There's also lower clocked 64-core SKUs with 200W TDP. I can't imagine price would be major factor for a company of Cloudflare's size, but it's definitely true that the 48-core part is much cheaper. There's also the 7H12 with a higher base clock than the 48-core part, but its TDP is 280W.
All of these EPYC chips have the same monstrous 256MB of L3, so maybe part of Cloudflare's workloads maxes out the cache before being able to feed all 64 cores, but that's a bit wishywashy. Maybe since they also all have the same PCIe lane capacity 48 cores is the sweet spot.
The 64-core parts still seem like a nobrainer.
Edit: Windows XP, because I still remember its Product Key. Ha. I probably reinstalled XP in my PC as a kid about a hundred times.
The article doesn’t seem to be about abolishing the NIH and NSF. Instead it seems to be about NIH and NSF grants to third parties. That seems to fall squarely on the executive side of the line.
