Last October Apple announced Cyberpunk 2077 was coming to macOS with full optimization for Metal and Apple Silicon. The second I heard that, I got excited because that meant Cyberpunk 2077 was the first AAA game to get proper care and optimization to make sure it ran well on macOS and Apple Silicon.
Last week was Samsung Unpacked, specifically Unpacked focusing on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Galaxy Watch 8 series. These launches mark a pivotal moment for the broader smartphone market, signaling Samsung’s drive to make foldables mainstream by marrying a familiar phone feel with flagship‑g
At the end of last year we ran a study with 900‑respondent online survey, fielded December 1 – 15, 2024 among U.S. adults 18+. All percentages are of the total sample unless otherwise stated. After diving into the data, thanks in no small part to ChatGPT (shoutout to o3-pro!), some fascinating patte
I hate to steal Google’s tagline for this I really don’t but this year felt like Apple trying to make platforms more helpful. There’s this general consensus that Apple is behind in AI, missing out on chatbots and ignoring what most consider to be the next generation of experiences. The common saying

Wearables like Oura Rin
Key Takeaways: Google Cloud unveiled Ironwood (TPUv7), its first inference-optimized TPU, offering massive leaps in compute (5x), HBM capacity (6x), and power efficiency (2x) over the previous generation. Performance is estimated to be within 5% of an Nvidia B200, despite TPUv7’s single primary comp
We are in a huge AI compute shortage right now. At this very moment! When you hear most people talk about this, it’s generally in regards to model scaling and compute scaling for training. Not enough compute so labs can’t scale up the scaling laws. Right now is different, it’s the Ghibilification of
Executive Summary: The Apple Mac Studio featuring the M3 Ultra represents the most powerful AI workstation currently available, tailored specifically toward AI developers’ demanding workflows. With its unprecedented unified memory (up to 512GB) and robust GPU performance, the M3 Ultra Mac Studio exc
A few days ago, xAI announced Grok 3 and it’s easily the best LLM I’ve used. Good vibes, great quality, fast token generation, and happened to be trained on the most compute for any model (200,000 H100s). During the stream, Elon Musk said xAI is already working on Grok 4’s data center, which will be
I know it sounds off, but after spending some time getting back into gaming thanks to the RTX 5090, and then looking at some of the technical details on the RTX 5090, I’ve been sold on Nvidia’s vision of neural rendering and AI-accelerated rendering. Frankly, I think it’s the only way going forward.
Key Takeaways: AI-First Focus: Samsung positions the Galaxy S25 series as “true AI companions,” signaling a clear shift towards software and AI as the primary differentiator in a mature smartphone market. Google Gemini Powerhouse: Deep integration of Google’s Gemini Advanced, including Gemini Live a
