Serious Question: What about the Apple M[x] series things?

    The M2 integrates an Apple designed ten-core (or eight-core) graphics processing unit (GPU). Each GPU core is split into 32 execution units, which each contain eight arithmetic logic units (ALUs). In total, the M2 GPU contains up to 320 execution units or 2,560 ALUs, which have a maximum floating point (FP32) performance of 3.6 TFLOPs.



Nothing from Apple is powerful enough to get banned.



They banned a 156 TFLOP chip, Apple's relatively pathetic 3.6 TFLOP GPU is safe.

I didn't mean this to snarky, sorry!


Begs the question:

At what power-compute capability is worthy of banning? Especially when we saw billions of cores deployed in mining ops...

Maybe there is a GLOBAL-HEAP (or whatever the original CRAY 'heap' sense was called) capability for billions of M1s...

SERIOUS QUESTION:

How much malware is mandated as being installed on any chinese product (irrespective that it may be ostensibly an 'Apple' product?)

How do we know that every iphone doesnt have super secret ccp shit?

I mean we fn arrested the HUWAI CFO for same...??

I dont trust shit.


That would lower a stock that’s the backbone of every pension and retirement plan in the US.

Not going to happen.
