people gave me a lot of poo poo when I said apple was keeping an arm osx build in the wings as a hedge against intel sinking up the place and holding them back but every year that goes by with their chip design game improving feels like they're actively moving in that direction

Dubstep Jesus posted:haven't they also been working on abstracting away cpu architecture differences i seem to remember something about that at wwdc yeah. the biggest hurdle would be all the optimizations in the x86 architecture that are missing in arm but it's apple so long term they could do whatever the hell they want there since they're doing their own chip work and for the non-performance laptops like macbook/mba you could just say gently caress it and take the performance penalty while leaving mbp on intel for a couple more years

Ludwig van Halen posted:i didn't know the surface pro 4 ran OS X Microsoft intentionally sabotages the OpenGL APIs on Windows Update drivers to drive adoption of DirectX. If the benchmark is fair-ish it abstracted the OpenGL calls to DirectX, which still has more than its fair share of overhead. If it's actually fair they got the drivers from downloadcenter.intel.com directly, but that isn't very Windows 10 and I don't know if Windows Update graphics drivers still block updating from actual graphics drivers like they used to in the Windows 7 days because I never give them the chance. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Nov 11, 2015 |
