I’d like to say that I enjoyed first learning machine code on a VAX due to its orthogonal instructions and large fans, but it wouldn’t be true, because I learned on a MIPS machine.
Impressive, but pretty unsurprising given the A series. 100 points higher than the A14 is a less than 10% improvement.
From Apple’s somewhat uninformative slides, we should expect peak power draw around 15W? The A series draws half that for > 90% monocore performance, so scaling seems on target.
You’re overlooking that each office has a scope of authority. The relevant authority in this case is the Constitution, unless we are no longer a nation of law.
The judiciary’s fiscal dependence on the popularly elected bodies is by design and a necessary check on its power. More independent state organs habitually trend towards tyranny. In theory, a deeply unpopular, but principled stance may result in funding cuts, but will survive those; whereas an unprincipled power grab will run into a Congress ready to curtail it.
RISC is a philosophy, not so much a set of rules. If you let the creators of RISC define their approach, the division between RISC and CISC becomes more clear. Most summaries of RISC oversimplify it. Maybe that’s ironic, haha.
"When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world—"
— Donald Trump, 9 months after the Tiananmen Square protests
Edit: Saw this story on Daring Fireball, and found the original interview.
A generalization, but accurate enough. Disappointing to see it getting downvotes. Intel 10nm and TSMC 7nm have similar characteristics, as a brief Wikipedia search reveals.
Explicatory edit: The CCP, like every government in history, is motivated to conceal its human rights abuses. China also lacks a free press, an important window into its current events. Accordingly, there are obstacles in the way of justly assessing China’s response to this crisis.
