“The world’s most advanced 3nm processor.” Apple put a lot of effort into creating the Apple A17 and the new Apple M SoC
According to Tianfeng International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is investing most of its resources in the development of new single-chip systems.
In particular, it is said that Apple is placing great importance on the creation of a new 3nm Apple Silicon SoC, which will offer a significant improvement in performance and power consumption compared to its predecessors.
Because of this, Apple even delayed the development and mass production of its own 5G and Wi-Fi chips. If all goes according to plan, Ming-Chi Kuo expects Apple’s “world’s most advanced 3nm processor” to enter mass production as early as this year.
After the transition to the 3nm process technology, the performance of Apple Silicon chips will be significantly improved. We are talking about the Apple A17 SoC used in the iPhone 15, as well as the new Apple M series single-chip systems used in the Mac.
According to previous reports, Apple originally planned to seriously upgrade the Apple A16 single-chip system GPU in the iPhone 14 Pro series, but after discovering an “unprecedented” bug, it was forced to abandon the use of the new GPU. It was planned to add features such as ray tracing, but due to design flaws, it consumed much more power than expected, which directly affected the battery life and heating of the smartphone.
Therefore, a noticeable jump in performance is expected already in the Apple A17.

Nvidia says its Grace CPU Superchip is twice as fast as x86-compatible processors for the same power consumption
Nvidia said that its Arm-based Grace CPU Superchip processor in tests with real workloads shows a twofold increase in performance compared to x86-compatible CPUs in the same range of power consumption. With which processors Nvidia compared, it is not specified.
The company says these figures mean data centers can handle twice as much peak traffic for the same power consumption if they switch to Grace. Or they can cut their energy bills by almost half while maintaining productivity.
Nvidia itself says that Grace provides such results thanks to three main factors. Firstly, these are 72 Arm Neoverse V2 cores in one CPU (Grace CPU Superchip, we recall, contains two CPUs on one board), and secondly, in fact, the combination of two such CPUs via the NVLink-C2C interface with a bandwidth of 900 GB / s , third, the use of server-class LPDDR5X memory.

Asus GeForce RTX 4090 XG Mobile Graphics Dock external graphics card goes on sale starting at $2,000
Asus introduced the external GeForce RTX 4090 in the form of the XG Mobile Graphics Dock at the beginning of the year. Now this product is on sale for a very impressive amount.
In Japan, they ask for $ 3,000 for the device, but Japanese prices are sometimes much higher than global ones. In this case, the device is also available in Canada for about $2,000.
True, we are talking here, of course, about the mobile RTX 4090 Laptop – it is she who underlies the module. In terms of performance, it roughly matches the desktop RTX 4070 Ti. The module itself consists of two parts: one contains the 3D card itself and a set of ports, and the other houses a 330W power supply. True, the TGP value for the adapter is limited to 150 watts.
Probably the biggest downside of the device is that it is only compatible with select Asus ROG Flow laptops.

A new Nvidia 3D card with 20GB of memory and a 160-bit bus costs $1,250. But the RTX 4000 Ada has very low power consumption
Yesterday Nvidia unveiled the monstrous 188GB H100 NVL graphics accelerator for training language models, and now the company has added a card to its range that sits on the other side of the product line. The RTX 4000 Ada professional adapter is much smaller, much simpler, and clearly much cheaper, though we don’t know the price of the H100 NVL yet.
The RTX 4000 Ada, on the other hand, costs $1,250. And in terms of its parameters, this is a very unusual product. For example, it has 6144 CUDA cores (about as much is attributed to the GeForce RTX 4070 video card), 20 GB of memory, but only a 160-bit bus. At the same time, the consumption of the novelty is so small (70 W) that it does without additional power connectors!
Such a modest power consumption with good parameters is due to the GPU frequency, which reaches only 1.56 GHz. For comparison, the RTX 6000 Ada is 2.5 GHz.
The performance of the novelty (FP32) is 19.2 TFLOPS. Also noteworthy are four Mini DisplayPort connectors and a dual-slot design.
