Yeah, I caught myself. I caught myself. Don't worry. So anyways, Jonathan continues, the only thing that people should be concerned about storage-wise when buying a Mac is selecting the right SSD, right size, excuse me, SSD for their needs.

In most cases, selecting the next higher capacity drive will double the endurance and improve performance, but there's no underlying problem with the speed or endurance of any of the SSDs found in any of the M-series Macs at any capacity. However, if you fill the drive, performance can be severely impacted, so you really do want to avoid that.

For those planning on using their Mac for eight or more years, as I generally do, 256 gigs may become a pain point even for casual users. Fortunately, Apple will likely transition to 1TB NAND dies as soon as next year, and the 256 gig capacity will go the way of the Dodo, just like the 8 gig as the entry-level RAM level did as well.

So we got some repeated news, as it turns out, over the last 24-ish hours. M4 Extreme's chip, or the M4 Extreme chip, is unlikely after Apple quote-unquote cancels the high-performance chip. Reading from MacRumors, who is in turn quoting from the information, Apple is working on AI chip with Broadcom, is the title, the headline of the post on the information, and

Apple's silicon design team in Israel is leading development of the AI chip. That team was instrumental in designing the process, as Apple introduced in 2020, to replace Intel chips in Macs.

Apple this past summer canceled the development of a high-performance chip for Macs, consisting of four smaller chips stitched together to free up some of its engineers in Israel to work on the AI chip, one of the people said, highlighting the company's shifting priorities. To make the chip, Apple is planning to use one of TSMC's most advanced manufacturing processes known as N3P.

Apple plans to manufacture at least one of its iPhone chips next year using N3P. The other upcoming AI chips designed by OpenAI and NVIDIA are expected to use the process as well to improve performance. For its AI chip, Apple plans to utilize a chiplet design that AMD pioneered more than a decade ago.

Rather than build a single chip with sections for different functions, Apple will break up the chip and functions into smaller pieces or chiplets and then stitch them back together as one. The design reduces the chip's manufacturing complexity and potential for defects.

To jump in really quickly, that I believe the original source of that was actually Upgrade, if I'm not mistaken, because someone had anonymously written into Upgrade.

And because this was covered in Gruber's coverage of all this, he reminded me of, in his post, it reminded me of the feedback that Upgrade got, wherein someone allegedly with inside knowledge said, hey, this isn't going to happen until the M7 at the earliest.
