![]() ![]() ![]() 2019 will be an exciting year for tech with these latest nodes, and it’s good to see Moore’s law isn’t quite dead yet. We’ve already seen the A12X chip from Apple crushing some older Intel chips in benchmarks, despite being only passively cooled and packed inside a smartphone, and that’s just the first 7nm chip to hit the market.Ī node shrink is always good news, such as the move to 5nm chips, as faster and more power-efficient chips affect nearly every aspect of the tech world. Apple has made its professional-grade software for video editing and music making Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X free with a 90-day trial. This means longer battery life with the same performance and much more powerful chips for smaller devices since you can effectively fit twice as much performance into the limited power target. With 7nm (compared to 14nm), you could get 25% more performance under the same power, or you could get the same performance for half the power. Mobile Chips Will See the Biggest Improvements Poravute Siriphiroon/Ī node shrink isn’t just about performance though it also has huge implications for low-power mobile and laptop chips. And with AMD’s next CPUs on TSMC’s 7nm process, this marks a chance for them to jump past Intel in performance, and bring some healthy competition to Intel’s monopoly on the market-at least until Intel’s 10nm “Sunny Cove” chips start hitting shelves. With Intel lagging, even mobile devices have had a chance to catch up, with Apple’s A12X chip being manufactured on TSMC’s 7nm process, and Samsung having their own 10nm process. These new processes are the first major shrinks in a long time, especially from Intel, and represent a brief rekindling of Moore’s law. But further shrinking has gotten more complicated, and we haven’t seen a transistor shrink from Intel since 2014. Final Cut Pro revolutionizes post-production with 360 video editing and motion graphics, 4K HDR support, and advanced tools. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, transistors shrunk in size by half every two years, leading to massive improvements on a regular schedule. I’ve been testing the app for about a week with sample projects from Apple and some drone footage I shot with one of my kids during the winter holidays. Moore’s Law, an old observation that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every year while the costs are halved, held for a long time but has been slowing down lately. 10:02 PDT First Impressions: Final Cut Pro for iPad By John Voorhees Today, Apple released Final Cut Pro for iPad alongside Logic Pro. So Why Are These New Processes So Important? ![]()
