  1. Apple really kicked in the nuts all other laptop manufactures with their chip. I just dont see any point to invest in a power hungry x86 based laptops anymore. I percieve them as last gen. Would be really nice to see the competition on Windows side with their ARM silicon as it should widen the price gap between Macs and PCs even more. 

  2. Also shared memory between CPU and GPU is another potentially huge thing. Imagine having 32 or even 64 gigs with such a system. You usually don't need a lot of RAM for video editing and Apple is quite efficient with memory management. So GPU could be feeded with lots and lots of memory. Cheaper and more effective. 

  3. Another interesting fact  - M1 graphics is mostly on par with NVIDIA 1650 mobile. Maybe a tiny bit behind. BUT 1650 - is 50 Wat average power consumption. And M1 is 13 Watt WITH THE CPU. 

    Apple M1 single core CPU performance is around 1750 in Geekbench, AMD 5800H - 1500. Yes AMD has more cores, but Apple should at least double their performance cores in M1X. And same goes for GPU cores. Double the 1650 performance is about GTX1070 level. Now imagine 1070 plus most powerful CPU in a notebook and all in 35 watt package? Sounds pretty hardcore for me. Poor Intel. And Apple still has the power envelope to add more GPU or CPU cores if they wish. They can make M1X 50 watt if the want no problem.

    AMD announced they are working on it. So I guess we will have a cheaper and better alternative in the end of 2021.

    Not sure about that pal. Apple has been working on their A chips - for more than a DECADE now. And they even had Jim Keller (who is probably the most talented CPU developer of the era) who both co-developed A4 for Apple and Zen for AMD. Apple have been ironing out their A series processors for such a long time and M1 is just a modification of A14 Bionic. So I have serious doubts that AMD will be able to catch up SO FAST as by the end of this year. And don't forget that we also have NVIDIA who bought ARM and they for sure want to enter the game as well. So ARM will ofc come to a Windows world but defiantly not as fast as all of us want that to happen.

    I will wait on a amd ryzen equivalent or improvement. 

    You will have to wait until they make an ARM chip I guess. Right now in terms of chip effectiveness and power per wat Apple is unreachable. I am talking about CPU&GPU. I prefer to wait until MBP 16 with M1X or whatever it might be called. 

  6. Possible M1X spec leaks:

    -12 Cores 

    - 8 performance cores

    - 4 high efficiency cores

    - Coming first on a MacBook Pro 16” unveiling as a press release 

    - According to a source who used a prototype, “if you think M1 is fast, you haven’t seen M1X”. -Name isn’t final though

    No info about graphic cores yet, but I predict they will at least double their count. 

    Same about RAM, but I guess we will see 16\32 GB versions. 

    Also rumored release date - Q1 2021 (I do hope so)

  7. Those machines look very promising. I am hoping that we would see MBP 16 soon like in half a year with something like M1X having 3-4 times the performance of a current chip. And 4 ports + baseline 1tb storage model please. Another very cool thing is that if we take a look at their mobile phone chips, they double the performance every year, unlike Intel. So we might have a chance for a very rapid evolution of those processors.

    Toobad its macbook, hopefully a pc alternative soon.

    I would doubt about anything soon. We still cannot get proper AMD CPU based notebooks. Apple had this in development for a long time.

    All modern main stream smartphones are doing it, OnePlus, Xiaomi etc.

    Are they doing it only in a deafault camera app? Or is it possible to get it in non-stock apps as well? Which smartphones do 4k60 this way?

    I am still waiting to see that thing in action, not many video samples online. Also curious if it will run on other Huawei phones after some updates

    If it will, I might just get a P40 that costs about 500$ now, has same sensor and processor as Mate 40, so the iq should be identical. And its smaller. I would put in on a gimbal and use exclusevly as my portable video gimbal camera. 

  11. So thats what Huawei says about their new Mate 40 pro among other things:

    Shoot cinematic footage on a mere whim, thanks to the XD Fusion HDR Video mode that renders each frame with faithfully optimised detail, colour, contrast and brightness, via custom multi-exposure imaging. Video quality is significantly enhanced, even in low-light conditions, with little-to-no over-exposure across the image, and the subjects' faces will be remarkably well-lit.

    Isn't that what we all been waiting for some time? Now as it is a software based thing it thereotically should be avaliable on all phones who have strong enough chip to run it, right?
