Apple has yet to revamp the cooling solution of its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, relying on a single heatpipe and two fans to achieve what is downright impossible: keeping temperatures low. This approach would explain why the M4 Max can get uncontrollably hot, reaching thermals of 110 degrees Celsius when stressed hard. Fortunately, since moving to the Fusion Architecture, Apple has somewhat addressed this problem with the M5 Max, but that doesn’t mean the latter doesn’t get toasty. Despite the temperature improvement as a result of improving the M5 Max’s packaging technology, it can cross 100 degrees Celsius when […]

Apple’s M5 Max delivered some decent performance gains over the M4 Max in Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core results, with the most impressive feat for the 18-core CPU configuration being that it beat the top-end M3 Ultra in both tests. Now, it is time to look at the technology giant’s ‘middle of the pack’ SoC, the M5 Pro, and according to the latest single-threaded and multi-threaded benchmarks, it nearly matches its powerful brother while trading blows with Apple’s current-generation workstation-class SoC. In short, the company has made an M4 Pro on steroids. Thanks to Apple’s new Fusion Architecture, the M5 Pro packs as […]

The new Fusion Architecture allows Apple to cram in more CPU cores in the M5 Max, with its top-end configuration flaunting six super and 12 performance cores to deliver incredible multi-core performance. However, in the latest single-threaded and multi-threaded benchmark leak, the SoC secures an almost negligible improvement over the M4 Max. While this is disappointing to learn, there is a silver lining, as the M5 Max beats the workstation-class M3 Ultra in the same comparison, making it its most astounding feat ever. Despite a plethora of performance cores on the M3 Ultra, Apple’s newest M5 Max outperforms it by almost […]

There were no launch delays from Capcom’s end as Resident Evil Requiem arrived on schedule and has already become a popular pick amongst PC gamers because it has smashed the previous franchise record for player concurrency on Steam. Unfortunately, the Japanese game developer hasn’t catered to Apple Silicon Macs with a native port, but that hasn’t stopped people from testing the AAA title on their machines. One individual owning a MacBook Pro powered by the incredibly powerful M4 Max states that he was getting respectable framerates with some settings tweaks. On the high settings preset, Path Tracing disabled and frame generation enabled, M4 […]

The month of March is expected to be a spectacular one because Apple is scheduled to host a product launch event in the first week, but there’s even more good news. According to the latest update, at least five announcements might happen next month, with the low-cost MacBook most likely the ‘center of the action.’ Moreover, Apple’s retail stores are witnessing the stock decline of the iPhone 16e, M4 MacBook Air, M4 Pro, M4 Max MacBook Pro models, M3 iPad Air, Apple Studio Displays, and more, so if that doesn’t provide you with hints on what’s about to arrive, then we […]
