Logged on 2022-11-23 13:32:55 asciilifeform[5]: phf: moar re new crapples : on 'm2' fanless lappy, built ffa, and this benchmark ran in 1min 41s. |

~ 1 hours 44 minutes ~ |
| 10:39 |
asciilifeform |
billymg: so happens is same box asciilifeform bought (24G ram , 1TB disk) |
| 10:40 |
asciilifeform |
complete with the black paint (that possibly flakes off), is what they had in stock lol |
| |
~ 32 minutes ~ |
| 11:12 |
billymg |
ha, yup, exact same specs |
| 11:14 |
billymg |
like they did with the m1 they'll eventually have the 'max' and 'ultra' (moar cores) versions out soon |
| 11:14 |
billymg |
soon more so than eventually i think |
| |
~ 28 minutes ~ |

billymg: moar cores, eat moar battery, tho |
| 11:42 |
asciilifeform |
so prolly not for the micro fanless lappy. but whoknows. |
| 11:43 |
billymg |
asciilifeform: yeah, meant for the larger laptops and even desktops |
| 11:43 |
asciilifeform |
iirc they already sell a 2-cpu desktop variant |
| 11:43 |
asciilifeform |
brick-shaped thing |
| 11:43 |
billymg |
possibly this one? https://www.apple.com/mac-studio/specs/ |
| 11:44 |
billymg |
with the M1 |
| 11:44 |
asciilifeform |
aha that |
| 11:44 |
billymg |
yeah, will switch over to M2 soon enough |
| 11:44 |
* |
asciilifeform would even buy it and try e.g. bsd on it, if the thing ate standard ssd |
| 11:45 |
asciilifeform |
(as it is, reportedly has proprietary disk, socketed but boobytrapped to work only with given machine, i.e. not replaceable) |
| 11:45 |
billymg |
supposedly even their configurable-to-cost-of-new-BMW mac pro will switch over to the M2 next year (currently still intel xeon) |
| 11:46 |
asciilifeform |
'cheese grater'(tm) aha |
| 11:46 |
asciilifeform |
afaik that's their 1 remaining box that takes standard parts |
| 11:46 |
asciilifeform |
(but imho uninteresting, who wants xeon knows where to get it without 'new bmw') |
| 11:49 |
asciilifeform |
non-replaceable ssd's on multi-$k 'pro' machines are a mega-lol imho. |
| 11:50 |
asciilifeform |
sorta like hypothetical 'bmw' where can't change tyres. |
| 11:50 |
asciilifeform |
got a flat? 'dun worry, it's recyclable, get 5% off new bmw when you send back the scrap heap' |
| 11:52 |
billymg |
yeah, i think the cheese grater mac pro is really their last machine where you can drop in your own sticks of ram, m.2 ssds, maybe even GPUs |
| 11:52 |
billymg |
sad about the 'pro' laptops losing swappable m.2 ssds |
| 11:53 |
billymg |
was fairly recently that that happened |
| 11:53 |
asciilifeform |
with laptops at least excuse where 'most lusers smash the lcd before disk has chance to wear through' |
| 11:53 |
billymg |
asciilifeform: unless they make the mistake of not upgrading the ram config and the thing swaps to disk 24/7 |
| 11:54 |
asciilifeform |
or that. |
| 11:55 |
asciilifeform |
in 'good ol' days' of slow mech disks, at least would immediately notice if yer swapping |
