A 40-Core Apple Silicon Powered Mac Pro Could Be In The Works

When Apple announced their plan to transition away from Intel to their own Apple Silicon chipsets, many have wondered what this could mean for Apple’s Pro computers like the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro, both of which are typically used by various professionals who need the horsepower that the computers can put out.

While the M1 chipset has demonstrated it is more than capable, is it truly Pro worthy? Maybe not, which is why a report from Bloomberg has revealed that Apple is apparently developing on an Apple Silicon that would feature as many as 40-cores that would then be used for computers like the Mac Pro.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the devices have been codenamed Jade 2C-Die and Jade 4C-Die and are said to come in either 20-core or 40-core variants. This would consist of 16 and 32 high-performance cores respectively, and 4 or 8 high-efficiency cores respectively. The chips are also said to feature as many as 128 cores for graphics, which sounds rather insane on paper.

Unfortunately, professionals who might be excited at the possibility will have to wait because Apple is reportedly only planning on launching the new Mac Pro in 2022. Like we said, the number of cores is crazy and since not much is known now, we’ll just have to wait for an official announcement by Apple on how they plan on justifying their new hardware.

Apple TV’s Display Calibration Might Actually Make Your Display Worse

One of the features of Apple’s tvOS 14.5 is that it comes with a new display calibration tool. This is meant to help improve the colors of your display. Unfortunately, it seems that it might actually have the opposite effect, at least that’s according to Vincent Teoh who shared his findings on his HDTVTest YouTube channel.

For those who might not be familiar, a display might look fine out of the box, but sometimes it might not necessarily display the best color accuracy. This might be important if you’re editing photos or videos and you need to know that the color you’re seeing is accurate. This is why certain monitors that seemingly lack features are so expensive because they’ve been color calibrated for professionals.

That being said, it seems that the tvOS 14.5 calibration tool might need more work. This is because according to Teoh’s findings, the calibration process actually makes the picture worse. There was an instance where it even tried to calibrate a $42,000 Sony reference monitor which was already considered to be “perfect”.

Teoh ran the test on several other TVs and the results were less than favorable. For the most part, it actually made the picture worse, save for an LG OLED TV that did improve color accuracy, but was nowhere close to a properly conducted calibration using specialized tools. So if you’re in need for a color accurate display, the tvOS 14.5 feature might not be the best choice.

Steelseries Nimbus+ Will Give Customers Four Months Of Apple Arcade

If you’re looking for a gaming controller for your mobile device, there are so many options to choose from it can feel overwhelming. However, if you’re looking for one and also want a good deal, then you might be interested to learn that Apple and Steelseries have announced a promotion for the Nimbus+.

This promotion will throw in a free four months subscription to Apple Arcade if you were to buy the Nimbus+. For those unfamiliar, the Nimbus+ is a wireless gaming controller designed for smartphones, but it has the added advantage of having a grip that holds your phone so that you can play while sitting or standing and don’t need to look for a surface to rest your phone on.

As it stands, Apple Arcade is priced at $4.99 a month, so the free four months is essentially almost $20 in value. After that, you’ll need to keep paying if you want to continue accessing the games on it. Whether or not this is a good deal really depends on your needs as a mobile game, but if you were already shopping for a controller, the free four months subscription is a pretty nice bonus, unless you’re on Android in which case we guess this probably isn’t that great of a deal.
