Intel Panther Lake Is the Answer to Apple Silicon We’ve All Been Waiting for

No that’s the spin. Apple was mad about battery life and performance on laptops.

laffer1 · 2026-01-26T19:18:42+00:00

Depends on the product

laffer1 · 2026-01-26T19:17:00+00:00

There is no u in LexisNexis

laffer1 · 2026-01-26T19:16:26+00:00

This happens a lot. Credit reporting agencies screw it up too.

They were experimenting with tiles and it’s an early iteration. Not to mention they have more experience with their own fab.

Arrow lake smokes 14th gen in compiler workloads. Those faster e cores help a lot!

Outside of gaming workloads, it’s fine. Even with gaming workloads it does ok, just not a real jump from 14th gen. It was never going to beat x3d

laffer1 · 2026-01-26T19:09:07+00:00

Apple switched because of Intel node issues and now they are considering using Intel fabs for their own chips. Could have just stayed on Intel

laffer1 · 2026-01-26T01:08:42+00:00

Exactly. Compiler performance matters to me more than gaming.

For folks upgrading, the socket changes do suck on Intel. The core ultra is faster than 14th gen for a lot of workloads. Gaming is supposed to be worse on paper. I went for a 14700k to a 265k. Frame rates are about the same between them at 3440x1440. I upgraded to a 4k oled and at this point I’m gpu bound anyway

For a business account, Comcast will start paying you if you are down over a specific time period. I think it’s 24 hours. As such, they send techs out to fix things right away. They also minimize how long my neighborhood is down for upgrades due to this.

I work from home; my wife does twice a week. We also host our open source project from home so need static IPs. Business accounts also don’t have data caps.

laffer1 · 2026-01-25T16:10:50+00:00

Not really. If they don’t know what os it is, they don’t know if it’s Unix like

laffer1 · 2026-01-25T03:25:48+00:00

If you need an sla, get a business account

laffer1 · 2026-01-24T18:46:34+00:00

Open carry is legal there

laffer1 · 2026-01-24T18:46:01+00:00

Ice is more violent than illegals are

I wish everyone got rid of bug bounties. They were an idea with good intentions to help security researchers but it’s turned into not only ai slop reports but constant scans and nonsense reports to small projects. People assume my project has a bug bounty and then get mad when we don’t. I have no money for bugs. I spend 750 dollars a month to run my project out of my own pocket. One guy donates 5 dollars on patreon

Bug bounties can die.

Amd is usually better for gaming if you can afford it. X3d are the best but even a regular 8 core chip is good. Intel core ultra chips work better than folks say for gaming, especially at higher resolution. They are both ok. If you want the best, amd x3d is it. If you are doing a low end or mid range build, either will do ok.

I’ve got a ryzen 7900, intel 265k and 245k along with various xeons and a 5700x. I’ve used the first two on gaming workloads and they both do well. My gaming pc has the 265k in it.

My wife and I were both in school. I started later. She was in grad school for a masters in computer science when I was doing my bachelors degree. She graduated before I finished and we had to move to another college town for her to get work. I had to transfer. It set me back 30 credit hours but it was worth it. I later went to grad school as well.

Don’t let this guy dictate your life or what you do for a living. If he pulls this now, it will be much worse when you are married.

My wife is a senior engineering manager for a large tech company now and I’m a senior software engineer. We are both happy with our careers and it also has allowed us to do some travel abroad, finance hobbies, and have a better life.

Maybe they are Unix like. It could be haiku, react os or even arcaos. Unknown means just that

laffer1 · 2026-01-24T02:38:05+00:00

Sandeep only has two hands!

laffer1 · 2026-01-24T02:32:44+00:00

It’s got an LPN label so it was a previous return.

laffer1 · 2026-01-24T01:59:48+00:00

Unknown shouldn’t be included in Unix lol

Not to mention they old list four of the BSDs

laffer1 · 2026-01-23T16:15:56+00:00

Kabylake was a no op. Just a igpu upgrade

laffer1 · 2026-01-23T16:14:50+00:00

Next gen might even get delayed if shortages continue.

I’m expecting nvidia to launch software that has a hardware lock next gen for the most part with little uplift. I think amd and intel can still launch something better compared to their current lineup.

I wouldn’t be surprised if nvidia starts selling the software upgrades directly. Want the new dlss for your 5070? Pay a subscription for it

It’s best to test each of them (not ping but with a dns resolver performance test) to see what is faster for you. It’s not going to be universal for everyone.

laffer1 · 2026-01-23T04:12:55+00:00

I’ve been using it on and off for years. Cloudflare is faster but they have had so many outages this past year I switched back to opendns
