Retina Display Resolution Independence
- Retina displays draw things with individual pixels, resulting in smoother curves and sharper images.
- macOS uses integer scaling factors (2x, 3x) to avoid pixel cracks, sometimes scaling down a higher-resolution image to fit the display.
Round Silicon Wafers
- Silicon wafers are round due to the cylindrical growth of silicon crystals.
- Circular polishing and spinning processes during chip production also favor round wafers.
M1 Ultra Design
- The M1 Ultra likely uses EMIB/LSI technology, similar to a mini circuit board, to connect two M1 Max dies.
- This method is more efficient and scalable than fabricating adjacent dies.
