You know those 4 power cores that are stomping basically anything not named Zen3, Intel Gen 11 and Intel Xeon? Let's add 12 to 28 more of those bastards.
I thought you could daisychain Thunderbolt anyway, at least if the intermediate devices all were capable of it.
Not quite "daisy-chain" but it's possible for devices to work as as hubs. They have to have more hardware built into them to support that, though, so few do. It's the same situation as USB.
Those processors will be going up against AMD and Intel with the equivalent amount of cores and a 32 core Apple chip will have a Threadripper/Xeon pricetag + Apple tax. The chip is tiny right now at 8+8, it's supposedly 16 billion transistors in total, if it scales linearly then 32 CPU cores and 128 GPU cores would be an absolutely massive chip.
Ehhhh, I've only got Mk I eyeballs, 30 fps is fine.
15fps is enough for my Chinese cartoons, really.
Not having a discrete GPU is what makes me actually excited for the future, I want to see what they come up with, that iGPU will be a growing boil on their ass. What they have now is fantastic for a 119sqmm SoC but making the GPU 16 times larger(current design, current node, current info), oooh shit. More CPU cores will be easy in comparison.
It's fine for computer hardware that costs under $100. I don't know how the fuck 60fps across the board isn't an absolute minimum in a day and age where 1080p is too low for cellphones.
I'm sure their internal displays are capable of 60fps at the least. You were complaining above about the capability of their video encoding hardware, which isn't nearly the same thing.
This came directly from Jobs, who at least had a keen eye for technology that actually was moribund. It was not long before floppies were entirely dead and everyone else stopped including them. Since then, Apple has tried to imitate the Jobsian method but really have no fucking clue what isn't useful or is about to die. So it's just annoying.
Apple didn't use PS/2. Their bus for keyboards and mice looked similar connector-wise, but was completely incompatible and was called ADB. But yes, the iMac did drop those, as well as a custom serial bus for modems and printers as well as SCSI, for USB.We should mention that the OG iMac also dropped the PS/2 ports, aka these beloved things.
From what I've been told part of the reason why a low frame rate like 24fps stuck around for film(the analogue medium) was that lighting and photography were built around 1/24th seconds of exposure, people were trained for that. Higher frame rates = shorter exposure = more light needed when using the same film stock. You can change the film stock to something that is more sensitive to light to compensate but that film will have different properties when it comes to color reproduction and grain, so it will look different, but that can be compensated by maybe rejiggering the lights and tweaking the post-process and... I mean, I wouldn't notice but the leading film makers that dictate what is right and wrong have traditionally been drug fueled auteurs/autists and they will have strong opinions about the tiniest thing. I've never filmed anything so I don't know anything about it but that's the gist of what's been explained to me and it sort of makes sense.
