it's nice to see gruber grow increasingly frustrated with apple, now he's - understandably - blogging about vloggers getting some advance hands-on experience ahead of the regular embargo

tech journalists are dumb as gently caress and need to write “balanced” articles that focus on stupid poo poo. youtube kids are just excited about having a new phone and can convey that to their audience.

hahaha, Gruber is definitely salty about his clique of reviewer friends (and him, possibly) not getting an iPhone X sorry 50 year old guys... turns out yung youtubers with 3 min videos and half a million followers are way more attractive to marketers than long form 20 page articles, who knew

idk you mentioned something about "imagine if we could run this with active cooling" and it inspired a naive vision of them putting them in everything or in 5 years theyre dirt cheap and power your oven I just like things that are badass

echinopsis posted:idk you mentioned something about "imagine if we could run this with active cooling" and it inspired a naive vision of them putting them in everything or in 5 years theyre dirt cheap and power your oven there are two ways to make a chip fast: high clock speed and bigger chip area. power usage increases with the square of the frequency, so high frequency burns much more power and gets much hotter. but it’s “free” for chip makers in that there isn’t a per-unit cost. bigger chip area can do more things in parallel but it costs more to make. they stay cooler and therefore run longer at that same performance level. apple went all in on big area with relatively low clocks. they made a chip that is very expensive to make, and at the same power consumption as competitors it murders them in performance. they are paying for it in chip price, but they thought it was worth it. because of this design it can’t clock up much higher. so even with active cooling you can’t push it too far, although it will be able to maintain performance. fun fact, it doesn’t support 32-bit ARM at all. even if iOS didn’t drop support for ARMv7, this chip couldn’t run those old apps.

echinopsis posted:do u write code and then turn that code into pathways and transistors I’m not a chip designer. I write software that makes the chip work at a low level. then I give the designers feedback on what the software needs to work better and they factor that into future generations. so this chip is co-evolving with iOS at a very deep level. they know what instructions the compiler outputs and what kind of operations apps do frequently and they optimize the chip to make those faster. at the same time the compilers and libraries and kernel know what to do to best take advantage of the microarchitecture.

I presume this is a stripping off baggage for the sake of performance thing, that has an initial pull-plaster-off pain but in long run is such a superior idae
