    But it is damn nice... Doesn't everyone need 1.5 TB of memory? The new MacBook Pro 16" with 64GB of RAM, 8TB SSD, 8GB on the GPU, and 8 cores on the main is very nice as well. You know that you want it.

      Well, I would want a BMW more, but I'm not going to waste my money on either.

      I guess my employer is more likely to shell out for the MacBook than the BMW, so there is that.

          I still can't believe they did this. Despicable.

                    Intel did lose its process lead and it will like take them 5 years to get it back, if they do. They got too fat and lost focus across too many lines of business.

                    That being said, it's probably more accurate to say the Mac is powered by TSMC silicon.

                    I've been to several of the TSMC fabs in Hsinchu. Ethnic-Chinese white collar workers with Bangladeshi labor. It used to be Filipino labor but it's cheaper to import Bangladeshis even though the Philippines is much closer geographically. They rack and stack the Bangladeshis into dorms and bus them in for their shifts. Just stand outside the service entrance of the fab at shift change time and watch the buses packed with labor roll in and out.

                          The one on the MacBook Pro 16" is great.

                              This isn't the best news. It will further screw up the ability of creative software/hardware companies to offer dual-platform solutions. Right now in the creative world, the PC has gained back a lot of market share.
