Apple's iPhone 14 series will be the first to mix and match chips
Only the Pro model uses the A16 chip
Apple analyst Guo Mingqi posted an article breaking the news that the iPhone 14 may break the tradition of apple's new models uniformly carrying the latest flagship chips. According to him, the iPhone 14 model uses the same A15 bionic chip as the iPhone 13. The A15 Bionic chip will continue to drive the 6.4-inch iPhone 14 and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max. In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which are positioned more high-end and relatively expensive, will be equipped with the latest A16 bionic chips.
Guo Mingxi also revealed that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will use 6GB of LPDDR5 memory, and the standard version of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will use 6GB of LPDDR4 memory.
In fact, this is not the first time that Apple has used a generational chip to control product costs, in 2013, Apple's iPhone 5S is equipped with an A7 processor, but the cheaper iPhone 5C only carries the A6 chip from a year ago.
In addition, blogger @mobile phone chip master said that the A15 processor stocked in the standard version of the iPhone 14 is 50 million units, and the A16 processor on the iPhone 14 Pro edition is 50 million units, with a total stock of 100 million units.
As early as last December, @Mobile Chip Master has already revealed that not all 2022 iPhone 14 will be upgraded to A16 processors, and iPhone 14 will continue to use A15 processors. @Mobile phone chip master also revealed that Apple's A16 processor uses a 4nm process, codenamed Crete, and the stock in 2022 is only one-third of the A15 stock in 2021.
Tesla's new Model S and Model X exposed
Tesla 4680 batteries will be used
Recently, Tesla's new Model S and Model X models have arrived at the Shanghai Gigafactory, and these two new cars are still imported to China, and the relevant model function verification operation will be carried out in China. It is reported that the new car will use Tesla 4680 battery, and the mileage may be significantly improved.
Recently, Tesla has begun to deliver new Model S models in North America, and according to photos found on Twitter and Reddit, the new Model S and Model S Plaid delivered to customers are equipped with different headlights and taillights. The new car adopts matrix LED headlights, matrix LED headlights can accurately illuminate the road ahead in various situations, and each LED light-emitting element can independently adjust the brightness and switch independently. When driving at night or encountering pedestrians, the matrix LED headlights will automatically extinguish some of the light bodies to avoid the danger of other vehicle drivers due to dazzling, which can improve the safety factor and driving experience at night.
In addition, according to a new document submitted by Tesla to the EPA, Tesla's new Model Y is called "2022 Tesla Model Y AWD" on the EPA website, and its EPA is rated at 279 miles, which is much lower than the current 330-mile (about 531.08 km) range of the Model Y long-range AWD version. So it should be a dual-motor version of the Model Y and will come with a smaller and more efficient battery pack.
Foreign media believe that this new electric SUV will be equipped with Tesla's own 4680 battery and a new structural battery pack design, and tesla is expected to start delivering new cars from the Super Factory in Texas, and may even arrive at the end of this month.
The strongest Mac Pro or M2 Extreme chip
Has a 48-core CPU and a 96/128-core GPU
At the recent "High Energy Delivery" spring conference, Apple released the latest self-developed Mac chip M1 Ultra, connecting two M1 Max chip grains, with a 20-core CPU and a 64-core GPU, with a CPU comparable to Intel Xeon and a GPU called Nvidia RTX 3090. The M1 Ultra, while powerful, may not yet be the strongest form.
In the latest powerOn column, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gullman predicted that the Mac Pro will be the last Mac to transition to Apple Silicon's self-developed chip. He believes that in terms of configuration, the Mac Pro may have two options: the dual M1 Ultra chip, or the strongest chip of the M2 generation — the name may be M2 Extreme.
If you choose dual M1 Ultra, this Mac Pro will have a top 40-core CPU and 128-core GPU configuration. But Gurman prefers the second option, the top-of-the-line M2 Extreme chip, which is expected to integrate a 48-core CPU and a 96- or 128-core GPU.
He also gives possible specifications for the M2 chip family:
M2, 8-core CPU, 9 or 10-core GPU;
M2 Pro, 12-core CPU, 16-core GPU;
M2 Max, 12-core CPU, 32-core GPU;
M2 Ultra, 24-core CPU, 48- or 64-core GPU;
M2 Extreme, 48-core CPU, 96 or 128-core GPU.
Overall, the Mac Pro, Apple's flagship desktop, is bound to be the last product to transition from Intel-core to self-developed chips. If Apple chooses the strongest M2 chip for the Mac Pro, the Mac Pro flagship may not meet us for a short time. Gurman and well-known analyst Mingji Guo believe that the Mac Pro equipped with self-developed chips may not be officially launched until 2023.
The AMD Pro 5995WX topped the Passmark list
Surpass a 64-core Dragon processor
Recently, as the most flagship model of the Threadripper PRO5000 series, AMD's latest Threadripper PRO5995WX flagship workstation CPU is constantly breaking the record of various benchmark performance tests. For example, the Passmark score of 5995WX is 108822 points, which has become the new top of the running score platform PassMark, which is 28% higher than the previous generation 3995WX and even 23% ahead of Zen3's (EPYC) 7763 server CPU.
It is reported that the 5995WX is based on a 7nm Zen3 design, including 8 sets of CCDs and 1 IO chip, supplemented by 32MB L2+256MB L3 cache (total 288MB). The Threadripper PRO5995WX CPU has a base frequency of 2.7GHz / acceleration up to 4.5GHz, and the IO chip supports 8 channels @2TB DDR4 memory, 128 PCIe4.0 buses, and thermal design power consumption (TDP) of 280W.
According to the official introduction, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000 WX series processors support AMD PRO enterprise security features, manageability and scalability. Designed to handle the most complex professional workloads, the processor enables 8K rendering and editing, giving professionals a competitive edge. In addition, the Threadripper PRO 5000 WX series processors were first introduced by the Lenovo ThinkStation P620 workstation.
Although the exact pricing has not yet been announced, considering that it is mainly for the high-end workstation market (Lenovo P620 series debut exclusive), the Threadripper PRO5000 series is expected to be priced at around 5,000 to 6,000 US dollars (about 32,000 to 38,000 yuan).
