I dunno who told you the Wii U was 720p-only. Mine ran at 1080p all day, every day - albeit some games used upscaling to reduce the graphical workload.

I do this all the time. I see so many brainless, low-effort posts all over the internet that I don't want to add to the pollution with anything I'm not confident is either informative or funny.

But I also want Lemmy to grow and thrive, so here I've been making more of an effort to try to finish and post even comments I'm not so certain about. I figure that has to be better for the site than contributing nothing at all.

Nixon died in 1994, so there's that.

I'm not talking about the merits or otherwise of "unified memory", I'm pointing out that because Apple's RAM is physically integrated into the CPU, it can provide more memory bandwidth than regular DDR5 DIMMs.

The LPDDR4X RAM in the Raspberry Pi isn't QUITE the same as the on-die stuff in the M3 processor.

With Apple's chips the RAM is all on the CPU die so both CPU and GPU get the performance benefit. With Intel's, none of it is.

Apple's RAM isn't as cheap as you might think, because it's all built directly onto the CPU die. That's part of what makes its computers so fast.

It's a shame we can't downvote posts lower than zero.

Do you think Amazon gets its goods for free?

Then buy something physical – there are literally millions upon millions of products he can spend the credit on.

They gave him regular Amazon credit, so he can spend it on physical goods if he likes.

It's Amazon, dude. You may not like their business practices but it's a fair bet they're going to have something you want at a decent price.
