cpu

I have a problem with my macbook probably connected to the CPU. When I play the game Valorant there is a very low CPU speed (below 1GHz) which lowers my FPS so I can't play the game smoothly. This thing didn't occur a few days ago and my game was running smoothly. The temperatures are still the...

I'm a computer engineering student and Apple Silicon is the very thing that inspired me to change my major from computer science to engineering. I heard about how Johny Srouji is in charge of the development of Apple Silicon and how he got really good grades all throughout primary, secondary...

Hi everyone ! I will have in the next few weeks the old Imac late-2009 with a core 2 duo 3.06GHz and a Geforce 9400M from my dad, and I plan to upgrade it. I already have upgraded the ram to 16Gb and I will change the HDD for a SSD. I already have an unused old Q8400 and I would like to know if...

Clarification: 17" 2006 MacBook Pro Intel Core2Duo 2.33gHz (I think) Tldr; my 2006 Core2Duo MBP is useless because MacOS patchers only work with 2007 and later macs. Could I replace the cpu with a newer one to 'convert' it into a 2008 MBP? Alternatively, are there any web browsers that allow me...

Not sure what’s going on but as of mid January 2022, the YT app is getting heavy cpu usage and a very hot iPhone. Making all aware in case it’s happening to anyone else. It’s of course causing fast battery drain too.

Are ALL M1 Pro chips binned versions of the Pro Max (including the 10 core CPU and 16 core GPU M1 Pro)? Or is the Pro Max a different processor so not all M1 Pros are binned? In that case the: 24 core GPU Pro Max is a binned 32 core GPU Pro Max 8 Core CPU 14 Core GPU is a binned version of the...

Hi everyone. I have a MBP Retina 13" Early 2015, which is in the service at the apple, they are replacing the top case incl. a new battery. After this process is done, I am planning to proceed with more improvements on my computer: SSD and thermal paste. There are lots of people on youtube...

Hey Guys, I am starting a tech youtube channel and I'm planning to get the 14 inch MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip for video editing. I am currently using the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) and it lacks at editing videos, the videos I usually deal with are ether 1080HD or...

Hi, all! This summer I finally bought the last upgradable (and also the cheapest) 4K iMac, which I had on my list for almost two years. Purchase trigger: The price on Amazon dropped from € 1200 to € 940 for the 6core i5, 8GB, 256GB and Radeon 560X model. It can still run Mojave and 32bit...

Hello! Currently, I have not seen someone confirm a Gigabit Ethernet CPU working in a Digital Audio. I have seen Gigabit Ethernet G4 CPU's around on eBay and some are even dual CPUs. This one I'm looking at here being at dual 800Mhz. eBay Link This reportedly being compatible with the...

I'm thinking of just the BASIC 16" MBP, 16 core GPU, 16GB RAM and 512 GB or 1TB SSD but am also considering soon buying X-Plane 11/12. I don't intend to run anything else that is 'heavy' (at the same time) but, other than gaming, need some RAM to work with spreadsheets. I kind of understand...

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) Dual CPU Tray and booted it up after being in storage for the last 3 months to find that Slots 3 and 4 of tray are not working; RAM installed in these slots are not detected by macOS. It is my understanding that slots 3 and 4 are connected, and if one is...

Hi all, this is my first post. I own a 21.5" mid-2010 iMac mounting a 3,06 GHz Intel Core i3-540 CPU and a very bad ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB. Since it is still running well, and I would like to upgrate its CPU to an i5-680 and its GPU to Nvidia Quadro K2000M (MXM-A), but I have some concerns...

I'm looking to migrate to a new suite of productivity apps for my small business, and the Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) is one consideration. I've used MS Office for many many years, but it's starting to become a little bloated and expensive for my needs. I want to move away from 365...

I've used Chrome, Safari and Edge. Apple told me Safari is best but I'm not seeing that since my 2020 MBP with 16gb of RAM turns it's jet engine fan on much of the time. What have you found to be the most energy efficient browser for your Mac?

My 2015 MacBook Pro 15" finds it hard to drive an external 4k display, and the fans go crazy when watching YouTube full screen, even 720p. This is over DisplayPort, and also happened with a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" nTB. I use it in clamshell mode, so it doesn't even have to drive 2 displays...

My friend just sent me this website: https://m1racles.com/ (not sure if I can post this link here just like that) with quite a lot of information about a bug in M1 chip and I'm quite amazed that I didn't saw this topic here on macrumors, is this something that just came out? what do you think?

Hey all, so a while back I had a friend give me an A2159 (2019 MacBook Pro) chassis with everything in it except for the motherboard to toy around with. I decided a little while back that it was time to buy a board off of eBay to see if I can get it working. So, I buy an untested board for 200$...

I bought a second-hand Mac Mini (5,2) for Plex. CPU Proximity temperature often raises above 70°-80° (when copying files). Should I be worried / consider returning the Mac Mini? Or is it in the normal threshold (meaning I can probably use it for a couple of years to come).

Hey all - I have a mid 2012 Mac Pro and I love it. I love that I can add my own cards to it and stuff but it's stuck in the past and I don't know what core changes I need to do to make it relevant. I can't move past Sierra, my USB-C card I installed doesn't work because there are no thunderbolt...
