  • Disclaimer: not an expert, this is just how I understand it after some googling:

    There isn’t a single standard for 3nm, despite the seemingly obvious size-related connotations. It’s more of a marketing term used by chip manufacturers to refer to their version of the next generation of chip-making processes they each have to create something smaller than the previous revision.

    Any time you shrink a processor you’re using less materials, which means it’s cheaper and allows more room for other things.

    Less materials also means less resistance, so a smaller chip is inherently either more power efficient, faster, or a little of both (depending on the chip and the design the manufacturer decides to go with).


  • If you haven’t tried them out recently I’d definitely recommend another go.

    No switch port will ever run as well as it would on other current-gen gaming hardware, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much it has improved.

    Fractured but whole used to have the WORST loading times at the start of a battle, or when fast traveling. Now they load within a couple seconds. Animations seem a bit smoother as well.

    It took them long enough, but I’m glad it’s finally had some TLC. :)

    And the only reason FW was even used was because at the time it was the better connection method for transferring large amounts of data compared to USB.

    When USB 2 was released and common, Apple switched to 30-pin and USB2, while still allowing those with FW adapters to continue using that medium.

    You can connect a 1st gen FW-only iPod TODAY with the appropriate adapters and still sync and use it with new Macs.
