this is great news. i’m on an m4 myself, patiently waiting for the full support. great project deserves tons of credit

Same, I’m sure it’ll arrive before the time macOS abandons the machine for updates so probably perfect timing

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Same. I just got a good deal on one pre-price increase (so an even better deal) in April.

Once I can get my hands on a Graphene capable phone I’m out on corporate OSes and hopefully this hardware will last through the AI bubble.

same here buddy. i’m not upgrading anything for at least 7 more years minimum

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

My last Mac mini lasted that long.

it’s actually still going as my Jellyfin server, running Mint. Big upgrade from the 20 year old laptop I was using before :D

That’s what’s up. In my brief testing when it was just available M1 on a spare MBA, it was pretty sweet!

I’ve been waiting for this moment! :-D

Just asking why not call it APU as support is for CPU and GPU

[–] NGram@piefed.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

Primarily because APU is an AMD marketing term. The announcement is correct in calling it a SoC, I just used CPU because the focus was on CPU and peripheral support. GPU is usable, just not fully working, and the NPU support is rough at best. I'm not sure if there's any other notable accelerators on the chip.

I'll be honest; my cooked brains first thought was how does beer and a CPU end in the same sentence.
