    Manufacturers reject 12V0 PSU standard

    Posted: 28 Jul 2021 04:14 AM PDT

    ... it was also said again that the major motherboard manufacturers, along with the major OEM power supply manufacturers, have prevailed and have given a united front of rejection to Intel's ATX12V0 project. This keeps 24-pin and EPS (currently) and also keeps the cost of the motherboards in check. In our own discussions with board layouters, there were also several expressions of displeasure against the relocation of the extraction of the individual voltages on the motherboard, based on technical imponderables and an unwanted fragmentation. Maybe we can find out more about it here soon.

    Hypothetical: "Apple Deck"

    Posted: 28 Jul 2021 11:05 PM PDT

    Hardware wise, Apple should be able to make a far more capable handheld console than the Steam Deck.

    There has been a lot of rumors about Apple making a gaming console. There was even a rumor that Apple would make a "Switch-like console" before the Steam Deck was announced. It seems like it's not an if but when Apple will release one.

    Apple is already the most profitable gaming company in the world. With Apple Arcade and the recently leaked emails from the Epic lawsuit, it's quite clear that Apple intends to be a bigger player in gaming, including AAA gaming. In addition, every Apple Silicon Mac going forward will be capable of playing AAA games at 1080p or higher through its powerful IGPU.

    Suppose Apple puts its M1 SoC into its "Apple Deck", it would have:

    • ~2x ST and MT performance over the Steam Deck
    • 45% higher GPU performance (assuming RDNA2 Tflops and M1 Tflops are comparable)
    • Significantly better battery life
    • Neural Engine to perform DLSS-like upscaling
    • Tens of thousands of battery-optimized games on day one.

    But Apple would likely produce something like an "M1G" where the GPU is bumped up for a console. If Apple releases it in one to two years, the SoC should be based on the M2 or M3. Apple's recent SDK updates heavily hints at hardware ray-tracing support in upcoming SoCs.

    One benefit for developers is that an "Apple Deck" game will automatically be playable across all Apple devices including iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This also means the number of devices capable of playing your game would be in the billions, significantly more than Xbox, Playstation, and Nintendo combined.
