At the core of the article is Apple’s choice to adopt the speedy PCIe SSD bus technology along with the NVM Express device interface.
By adopting the PCIe/NVMe standard, Apple has been able to deliver higher performance in terms of read/write speeds and latency when compared to traditional SATA-based PC designs.
And:
It’s not a surprise, Handy said, that Apple settled on PCIe, as the price for the controllers are already approaching those of SATA controllers.
“If they both cost the same, then why use SATA?” [industry analyst Jim] Handy said in an email reply to Computerworld.
Interesting.
But it doesn’t have VGA or SCSI, nor the kind of RAM that would drain the battery in 2 hours! Definitely not for pros! /s
Some sense being spoken, which is nice to hear, in the face of mountains of horseshit…
Really? I haven’t had to touch VGA or SCSI in many years. Of course, more RAM is always nice.
or maybe you were joking… 🙂
Yes.
Good one. 🙂
