Apple's C1 modem breaks no records for speed, but is exceptionally power efficient

The first real-world tests of Apple's C1 modem in the iPhone 16e say that has comparable performance to previous 5G chips, but achieves that with significantly less battery power.

Have you heard the claim "Changing 30 lines of code in the #Linux #kernel could cut energy use at some data centers by up to 30 percent" that made the news two or three weeks ago?

Did you wonder if it is really that simple as it sounds in many stories? Then you want to read the following article from @LWN. It describes things in a more nuanced and technical way, as yes, it is not that simple:

Every time I see a story about #heatPumps I can't help but think of @TechConnectify excellent videos on the subject, but this was really interesting: https://www.wired.com/story/heat-pump-maximum-efficiency/

The Hunt for the Most Efficient Heat Pump in the World

A new generation of engineers has realized they can push heat pumps to the limit, but just how much heat you can extract depends on your setup.

With a #CloudServer in the middle, you’re dealing with obstacles like #latency and potential #Security scares. Running #AI processes on the device itself leads to far faster performance (up to 2.2x AI performance for video editing compared to 13th Gen Intel), and better #PowerEfficiency.

What the heck is an #AIPC? I spoke to #Intel, #AMD and #Qualcomm to find out
