The younger model uses the Apple M3, and the older one can be ordered with M3 Pro or M3 Max Today Apple officially unveiled the latest MacBook Pro, the new products are built on the new and very powerful Apple M3 single-chip systems - the base M3, as well as the M3 Pro and M3 Max. The top SoC configuration includes a 16-core CPU and a 40-core GPU. [caption id="attachment_78549" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16[/caption] The latest MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16 on Apple M3 SoC presented The laptops received up to 128 GB of unified memory (maximum for previous generation models – 96 GB). Apple says the new MacBook Pros are 11 times faster than Intel-powered laptops. [caption id="attachment_78550" align="aligncenter" width="780"] MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16[/caption] Also equipped are Liquid Retina XDR screens, six speakers, HDMI video output and a Thunderbolt 4 port. Maximum battery life reaches 22 hours. The body is all aluminum and comes in a new Space Black color option. The price of the younger model starts at $1600, the older one – at $2500.

New Intel CPUs are only slightly faster than old ones The officially unveiled 14th generation Intel Core processors were tested in the Factorio game. In this case, three new products took part in the test: Core i5-14600K, Core i7-14700K, and Core i9-14900K. By the way, Intel can present them on October 18, while the rest of the models in the line will be released later.  [caption id="attachment_68049" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] If we talk about comparing new products with their predecessors, then in the same order the increase is 1.2%, 6.8%, and 3.7%. Let us remind you that Core i7 will be the only model in the Raptor Lake Refresh line with an increased number of cores relative to their predecessors. Hence the more noticeable increase.  New Intel products tested in the game Factorio [caption id="attachment_68047" align="aligncenter" width="680"] Intel[/caption] In general, the increase is minimal, since the difference will only be in frequencies. Well, specifically in this game, Intel’s new products are much inferior to AMD Ryzen X3D processors, including the no longer the youngest eight-core Ryzen 7 5800X3D. If you look at other tests in Factorio, you can see that the game is very favorable to the huge cache of the Ryzen X3D, but not all games behave this way.  

The full game starts tomorrow As we already know, Intel owners were not among the first to play Starfield due to a huge number of technical problems . But Intel quickly addressed most of them by releasing a new driver today. [caption id="attachment_52313" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Intel[/caption] Intel did not disappoint. Driver 31.0.101.4672 BETA Game-On significantly reduced the game loading time and fixed some instabilities and visual artifacts. The company also recommends using high and lower settings to increase stability, that is, not using the maximum. Intel also notes that it will continue to work to improve the performance of its video cards in Starfield. Recall that the full release for everyone will take place tomorrow.
