Steve Jobs once stated, 'You can't get your hand around it. No one's going to buy that,' referring to smartphones larger than 4 inches. However, Tim Cook proved him wrong by expanding the iPhone's size significantly.

What we didn't really find in our testing was evidence that the extra 64MB of L3 cache meaningfully improved performance beyond what the regular 9950X3D can already do.

The K90 Max brings MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 9500 chipset, armed with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, boasting a 4,161,374 score on AnTuTu v11.

At least two of the company's upcoming machines could debut a little later than the company initially planned, referencing the refreshes to Apple's desktop and its laptop that's expected to get a touchscreen.

Buying a cheap laptop is easy. You just go to Best Buy or Newegg or Amazon or Walmart or somewhere, you pick the cheapest one (or the most expensive one that fits whatever your budget is), and you buy it. For as little as $200 or $300, you can bring home something new (as in, "new-in-box" not as in, "was released recently") that will power up and boot Windows or ChromeOS.

Apple claims that its 2026 models can deliver "up to 2x" the sustained read and write speeds of the M4 Pro and Max laptops. In our testing, the 4TB SSD in the 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro bore that out: our unit could sustain a 13.6GB/s read speed and an even higher 17.8GB/s write speed.

The M5 Pro and M5 Max are no longer monolithic chips with all the CPU and GPU cores and everything else packed into a single silicon die. Using an 'all-new Fusion Architecture' like the one used to combine two Max chips into a single Ultra chip, Apple now splits the CPU cores (and other things) into one piece of silicon, and the GPU cores (and other things) into another piece of silicon.
