Daily Tech News 7 June 2022

Top Story

No new Mac Mini but Apple did indeed announce its M2 processor yesterday. (AnandTech)

The updated chip provides 18% faster CPU performance, around 30% faster GPU, and bumps the memory bandwidth and capacity by 50%. Not by increasing the number of chips, but by moving from 16Gb LPDDR4 RAM to 24Gb LPDDR5 RAM.

Probably really two 12Gb chips stacked; I don't think 24GB dies are in production just yet.
The M2 is going into a new 14" MacBook Air and an updated 13" MacBook Pro. (Thurrott)

Both with that damn display notch.

Tech News

Apple also announced MacOS 13 Ventura and consigned my 2015 iMac to the dustbin. (Ars Technica)

Anything made before 2017 is no longer supported.
Python 3.11 is somewhere between 0% and 80% faster than 3.10. (Phoronix)

Again, not as fast as PyPy, but a useful increase in speed nonetheless.
LG's 2022 range of Gram notebooks is shipping now. (Liliputing)

I don't think any of them has the Four Essential Keys, but what you do get is a 17" laptop that weighs three pounds rather than three kilograms, while maintaining a respectable battery life.

The new models have Intel 12th generation CPUs, mostly the i7-1260P with four performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It's not a lot faster than last year's models - an AMD 6000-series would do much better - but it is faster.

Dual SSD slots in all models, but soldered RAM in all models.
