Sami Fathi at MacRumors has reported that TSMC has started 3nm production as of December 29th.
This will likely mean the rest of the M2 line for the MacBook and for the eventual MacPro will be 3nm which will save power and be more efficient, and of course will eventually make it’s way to the iPhone and iPad as power savings and less heat is better across the line.
Of course this isn’t a solution for people who use their MacBooks in closed position with bluetooth accessories this won’t work, so we will has to wait for an apple fix or manually turn bluetooth off and on at night.
Now I don’t think this has anything to do with the hardway, but more not been working on the code for Motion, instead focusing on Final Cut, but it is disturbing since it is pretty much as shared graphics engine between the two. And interestingly it gives more perspective on AVID being so slow on updating for M1, because you obviously need to really update the code to make it faster, and if even Apple is slow to update, then how can you expect 3rd parties to be fast (with the exception of Blackmagic who could not be faster on their updates).
Let’s hope Apple gets on this and updates the Motion codebase, as for me the best features of FCP are what Motion can do.
Chance Miller is saying that TSMC begins pilot program of 3nm chips, could be used in 2023 iPhones and Macs.
This will be huge for Macs if it happens, because this means more efficiency for the same power wattage and more efficiency, and though it won’t be till 2023, it could be major for the new Pro Macs with smaller chips making less heat, since the likely multiples of the M1 Max and M1 Pro will certainly create more heat.
I know I have been posting a lot of links to reviews of the new MacBook, and this is another. The future looks bright for Apple and let’s hope an iMac Pro and Mac Pro are that much more impressive.
Ben Lovejoy at 9to5Mac has posted his “MacBook Pro Diary: M1 Max video editing is a breeze, but everyday use impresses me, too“
So far it does look like everyone is pretty blown away by the M1 Max performance, so I can’t wait for an iMac Pro and a MacPro based on Apple Silicon. I do still wish they would allow external GPU’s, but I doubt that is in the future.
Very impressive results, especially since i have an iMac Pro, though I did get the Radeon Pro Vega 64X 16GB which might get a tiny tiny bit more performance.
My hope for the Apple Silicon MacPro keeps growning, though it will certainly be expensive, especially if it is basically 2 M1 Max chips tired together (i know it is more complicated than that).
MacRumors posted on Anandtech’s Deep Dive in to the M1 Pro and M1 Max. And here is the AndanTech Deep dive.
The chips here aren’t only able to outclass any competitor laptop design, but also competes against the best desktop systems out there, you’d have to bring out server-class hardware to get ahead of the M1 Max – it’s just generally absurd.
Wow, this sounds amazing, as I have said, can’t wait for the Apple Silicon iMac Pro and Mac Pro to see what they can do!
Things sounds great so far, and it really gives me hope for the Apple Silicon iMac Pro and Mac Pro.
Still hope that plug in makers start speeding up the process of re-writing their software for M1. It disturbs me that even companies like Maxon with Red Giant hasn’t upgraded everything to M1 yet, even though it is a subscription, which means they really should be upgrading their applications quickly, because I am paying for them constantly. At least Adobe has the Beta of After Effects working on M1, but it is going to be limited on plug ins for sure.
