… Trivia challenge Think you know Intel's bold plan to run Apple silicon on Windows devices? Put your knowledge to the test. Intel Apple Silicon Hardware Windows Emulation 01 / 8 Intel What is the codename of Intel's project aimed at enabling Apple silicon compatibility on Windows devices? …
… The hardware value is hard to beat used Efficient Apple Silicon gives cheap desktops real staying power The used market is what makes this argument work. A new Mac mini is not the obvious cheap Linux box, especially now that newer Apple Silicon models exist. …
… The MLX engine finally makes better use of Apple Silicon It puts Apple Silicon to good use Most local LLM users already know that Apple Silicon performs surprisingly well despite having relatively modest hardware. …
… MLX is Apple's array framework for Apple Silicon, with lazy computation, dynamic graphs, CPU/GPU execution, and a unified memory model where arrays live in shared memory. …
… It's not that x86 is doomed, it's that chasing Apple Silicon on Apple's terms doesn't make financial sense for the companies that build x86. …
… Apple Silicon can run E4B on 8GB of RAM, or 26B MoE on 16GB though more comfortable at 32GB , and 64GB of RAM will happily run the 31B Dense model. …
… Software solutions for hardware shortages continue Industry continues to ask algorithms to do what silicon can't AMD's acquisition of MEXT is the latest entry in a pattern that has defined the hardware cycle in this decade. …
… I spent some time getting the silicon to actually do its job, and the result is an image that enables the major advertised accelerator blocks I cared about: Vulkan, OpenCL, hardware video decode/encode, and the NPU. …
… 06 / 8 Hardware Apple Silicon chips like the M1, M2, and M3 are considered exceptionally well-suited for local LLM inference primarily because of what architectural advantage? …
… Hardware flexibility is another factor in this equation. Apple's hardware isn't known for its upgradability, and while it is technically possible to solder on more memory and storage to a Mac Mini, for the vast majority of users, this is not a practical solution. …
