Sooner or later China will be the world chips leader

by

At the moment nothing indicates that Donald Trump’s arrival at the White House will relax the tension held by the US and China. The strategy of the new US government on many fronts is very different from the one defended by the administration of Joe Biden (The Ukraine War is one of them), but in what It refers to China a priori nothing changes. And does not do so because the nation led by Xi Jinping is the only one that has the ability to play world supremacy to the USA. In fact, the government led by Joe Biden openly recognized the document that collects its National Security Strategy October 2022 that China has the necessary capacity and resources to dispute the US Its world leadership position. A good part of the sanctions deployed by the US government and its allies seeks to slow down the development of the Chinese semiconductor industry due to the deep impact that it has on its scientific, economic and military capacity. But China bids increasingly. China leads chips research with overwhelming roundness Currently the biggest challenge facing the China semiconductor industry is the set -up equipment of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) similar to those produced by the Dutch company ASML. The US and Netherlands sanctions prevent this company from selling them to their Chinese customers, and these equipment are necessary to produce on a large scale and with a competitive cost integrated avant -garde circuits. In 2023 the Chinese government approved a 41,000 million dollar game for lithography equipment manufacturers In this situation, the only way China can follow is to dedicate a lot of resources to research with the purpose of matching, or even exceeding the level of development they have achieved in the field of Taiwan semiconductors, USA, South Korea or Japan. And is doing it. At the beginning of September 2023 the Chinese government approved a departure of no less than 41,000 million dollars Destined precisely to the companies that produce the equipment involved in the manufacture of integrated circuits. The achievements are already arriving, and are notable. SMIC and HUAWEI have opted, at least for now, for refining their lithographic processes and optimizing UVP lithography machines (deep ultraviolet) manufactured by ASML that they already have in their possession. Other companies, however, have chosen to develop their integration technologies relying on the new teams that Naura Technology, Amec (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. China) or Piotech Inc. have taken to point. This is the path that You are following Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC), the largest memory chips manufacturer in China. However, China’s authentic strength is its ability to develop avant -garde research. He Emerging Technological Observatory (ETO), which is an international organization specialized in the analysis of the adoption of emerging technologies globally, points out that Between 2018 and 2023 475,000 articles were published dedicated to the design and manufacture of chips throughout the planet. 34% was produced by Chinese institutions, while Europe is formed with 18% of those articles and the US with an even more modest 15%. In addition, again according to Eto, Chinese articles are among the most mentioned, which supports their quality. This trend draws a future on the horizon in which China’s weight in the semiconductor industry will be increasing.

We have found a strange anomaly in the middle of the Pacific. It has caused a radioactive isotope that should not be there

by

A group of researchers has found a strange radioactive anomaly at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. And he has done it twice. The protagonist of the strange finding is a radioactive isotope of Beryllium, beryllium-10 (10be). Something weird happens on the ocean floor. The anomaly corresponds to a high concentration of this isotope in the strata of the seabed, which It has been detected In two points away from the Pacific Ocean, so it could be the indication of a generalized phenomenon. Experts do not know what this anomalous concentration of the isotope has caused, but they have several hypotheses that include astrophysical events or changes in ocean currents. Whatever the causative event, the team responsible for the finding has estimated that this happened about 10 million years ago. Product of a shock. The beryllium-10 is a rare isotope that is formed on our planet when cosmic rays cross our atmosphere and interacts with oxygen and hydrogen in it. The beryllium formed falls on the sea and ends up joining marine sediments. The semi -experience of these nuclei is approximately 1.4 million years old. After this time, half of the nuclei will have declined in Boro. Like others Radionucleids (Unstable forms of an element that decompose releasing radiation by becoming a more stable isotope), this beryllium is very useful in geological dating. Geological calendar. One of the best known radioisotpos is carbon-14 present in organic samples. In addition to the fact that carbon-14 is present only in organic samples, the time fork it gives us is relatively scarce: it can only serve us to date objects of up to 50,000 years old. The 10be, instead it allows us to ride ourselves 10 million years ago. A few surprising samples. The unexpected beryllium was found when studying a geological sample extracted from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean at a depth of several kilometers. The team examined the samples through a mass spectrometry with accelerator to evaluate its beryllium content and date its different strata. What they found was an anomaly in the sediments of about 10 million years ago. They came across that in this area the amount of 10be was double the one who would expect. The team examined several samples to contrast that it was not a contaminated sample. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nature Communications. Different hypotheses. The big question is now what caused this unexpected accumulation of 10be. The team responsible for the finding raises two possible hypotheses to explain this one, one related to marine currents and the second with astronomical events.

The uranium is listed up after the nuclear resurgence. And a company wants to start extracting it in Greenland

by

While Trump Keep with your speech to buy Greenlandiamining remains prohibited in the country. However, this decision may change by imposition of a judge. Short. The Energy Transition Minerals (ETM) company, formerly known as Greenland Minerals, has filed a millionaire demand against Greenland for the care of his project at the Kvanefjeld site. The company has demanded that the mine be allowed to exploit or receive compensation of 11.5 billion dollars. The dispute has reached an international arbitration under the dispute resolution system between investors and states (ISDS). The competent court to resolve the case will be the one established under international arbitration agreements between investors and governments. In depth. The company acquired the rights to exploit the Kvanefjeld site. This reserve is one of the largest in the world not exploited that contains uranium and rare earths. However, in 2021, the Greenlandic government prohibited uranium mining. Currently, the lawsuit accuses the country of illegal expropriation and for the moment the case is in international arbitration, initiated in 2022, but has progress slowly due to prolonged disagreements about the procedure. This summer, the referees will decide if they must accept the case. If they do, it is likely to be resolved at the end of this year. Meanwhile, the decision is dividing the population with nearby elections that could change this resolution. The complaint system. This arbitration system, designed originally to protect foreign companies of abuse by governments, it has been increasingly used to demand the states that adopt environmental laws. In several cases, companies They have sought millionaire compensation for the closure of mining projects that considered profitable. In this way, international arbitration It has become In a lucrative area of ​​international law, with multimillionaire payments to companies that require compensation for the losses attributed to regulatory or environmental changes. The history of uranium. Mining has meant a problem For Greenland for pollution. As of 1970, the first deposits of lead and zinc began to exploit, which has caused irreversible damage in the flora and fauna of the area. For this reason, when ETM acquired the rights to exploit the Kvanefjeld area in 2007, the local population was alarmed by the environmental impact it could cause in drinking water and in the farm farms. If the mine reopens. In case they return to work on the project, the exploitation would be done in the open, which implies removing large amounts of rock to extract terbio and neodymium, key metals to manufacture magnets in wind turbines and electric cars. However, in doing so, uranium would also be unearthed, which would generate radioactive waste. From the company itself, has explained to The Guardian that “will use the best environmental practices” whenever it is “technical, practice and financially.” The international game. While Greenland face again To the United States after the statements of the US president to “take the country in any form, now he will have to stay aware of how the trial on the exploitation of the Kvanefjeld site will be resolved. However, this sentence must be seen with magnifying glass, because the company Energy Transition Minerals (ETM) is partially owned by Shenghe Resources, a company backed by the Chinese government. So, Greenland is trapped between the interests of China and the United States. For its part, the government opposing uranium mining, demonstrating Your concern for the environment and the future of the sovereignty of the country.

There are good reasons to think that Spain is one of the favorites

Europe has become Byd’s great goal. The company of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles plug -in arrival from China is intended to open a new factory in Europe, according to its president Stella Li to various journalists in an event in Frankfurt at the end of last week. The information is signed in Bloombergwho emphasize that the final decision can be extended, still, at least a year and a half. Therefore, it is imagined that the project is in an early stage and that the future of the company in the coming months or the measures taken from Europe can define the future of the same. A third factory to continue gaining ground According to data from Jato DynamicsByd sold 50,216 units in Europe in 2024. It is a figure that left him out of the 30 best -selling car manufacturers in the continent. But, despite everything, the figures are better than those of historical brands such as Alfa Romeo. However, the growth prospects They are huge for analysts like those of S&P global. According to their accounts, they believe that Byd can add almost 200,000 enrollments in this 2025 (include industrial vehicles) and bet on sales of 400,000 units in 2029. To be fulfilled, we would talk about a company that would be struggling to get into the top 10 of best -selling cars in Europe. Part of those forecasts seem to be consolidating. Jato Dynamics He emphasizes that last year China beat the United Kingdom, Türkiye, Japan and South Korea in sales in Europe. Much of the success is due to its electrified vehicles, increasingly demanded in the market and offered at a very competitive price. The company, of course, hopes to gain ground within the continent. At the end of 2023 ByD confirmed that it will manufacture some of Your most affordable cars in Hungary And, last year, he did the same when certifying that will manufacture in Türkiye. Now, they already talk clearly that they are looking for a third factory on European soil. Byd faces a context in which it is difficult to make projections. Europe seems to be willing to Close the tap to Morocco and Türkiyea bridge that began to explore Chinese companies to skip some tariffs that, in the case of byd, They are 17%. In spite of everything, the company also has a wide range of plug -in hybrids that it can bring to Europe and for which it would not pay an extra cost. In your information, Bloomberg He also points out that Byd is interested in nourishing his third factory in Europe with a battery production plant. This is essential to maintain the prices of its electric cars below its rivals since much of its success is based on an enviable vertical integration. In addition, Europe is interested in increasing the production of batteries on its own soil. Aspire to give more alliances such as Catl and Stellantis. To this we must add that byd needs to continue increasing its sales in Europe since the margin of benefits achieved is greater than in China where they continue to live Very expensive price war. In all this context, Spain aspires to be chosen for this third byd factory. Before confirming that they would manufacture in Hungary, our country was one of the best positioned but ended by falling from the race. The cheapest labor and a position closer to Germany (where more electric are sold) could determine the decision. However, in recent months our country has positioned itself as a attractive place for vehicle companies. The costs, both of energy and labor, are cheaper than countries in our environment such as France and Germany. In addition to the ease of receiving and distributing pieces and vehicles through the ports, Chinese companies have been taking positions in one way or another in our country in recent months.

I have tried the new cheap folding of Zte. It is a substantial improvement to take it to all audiences

by

Folding phones arrived mainly in two forms, while the industry advances more and more folds, see the Huawei mate xt either Samsung’s own that Silhouette appeared during the last Unpacked. However, now that this segment begins to take run, there are few firms that take the opportunity to mid -range: One of these is zte. Last year we met the ZTE NUBLIA FLIP 5Ga good attempt for less than 600 euros to rival the other firm involved in these mid -range “, Motorola and its Motorola Razr 40. Sinned in certain sections such as the quality of its hinge and a very little useful external screen. His successor is the zte Nubia Flip 2 5G, a phone that I have tried in the MWC and that Confirm a general improvement: It is a great affordable alternative capable of exempting us from emptying our account. TECHNICAL SHEET OF THE ZTE NUBIA FLIP 2 5G ZTE NUBIA FLIP 2 5G Internal screen 3 -inch OLED screen 900 nits External screen 6.9 -inch AMOLED screen Resolution of 2,790 x 1,188 pixels 120 Hz soda rate PWM: 2,160 Hz 1200 nits 443 ppi Dimensions and weight 7.2 mm thick (folding) 193 grams PROCESSOR MEDATEK DIMENSITY 7300X RAM To be determined STORAGE To be determined Front camera 32 MP Rear camera Main: 50 MP Depth: 2 MP BATTERY 4,325 mAh Fast charge of 33 w Operating system Android 14 Connectivity 5g WIFI Bluetooth 5.4 OTHERS Dactillas footprint recognition Facial recognition PRICE From 699 euros Giving more use to your external screen is the key As happened with Samsung, Zte has learned from his mistakesand in this new Nubia Flip 2 we already have an external screen that is useful to review notifications, take photos without opening it and of course, to have a sympathetic virtual pet. This outer panel is not round, it has become rectangular, more in the line of current folding. In fact, Allows you to see a YouTube video as well as open other recurring applications, such as Facebook. Win in versatility with a subtle change that others gave in the past: increase the diagonal in addition to the form. They are 3 inches with AMOLED technology that acts as a complement. The sensations in hand remain equally good. Built on an aluminum alloy frame and a back of glass, the cloud flip 2 5g It feels premium. Nor could we expect less, because despite being cheaper than usual, it is not a cheap mobile. Inside, a Chip manufactured by MediaTak is hidden, saying goodbye to Qualcomm that put one of its Snapdragon in the predecessor. It is a Dimensity 7300x Manufactured in the 4NM process of the TAIWANASA TSMC: the change of chip or feel good, or bad, since in performance it is along with the Snadpragon 7 Gen 1 of the first cloudy Flip. The unit I have tried to mount 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB Internal storage, nothing out of the ordinary, and sufficient for fissure yield: there are no lags in the firm’s interface, which by the way, is accompanied by small touch -ups to make the most of the form factor of this folding. And luckily, in the time I have been using it I have not appreciated excessive warming, one of the most alarming points of the first model. Necessary cuts to maintain a competitive price Where most benefit cuts are noticeable in that simple cameras module, because there are no artifice or many sensors here: the Nubia Flip 2 5G Equipa a single usable camera. It is a 50 megapixel sensor that aligns next to a depth sensor (2 MP) and a ring that makes flash. On its internal screen, the 32 megapixel front chamber is hidden, in a circular cut as has predominates for years on Android. In the absence of evidence, I hope that ZTE has remedied one of his biggest problems, especially in the portrait mode that left a poor bokeh effect due to a bad cut. On the other hand, it has IPX4 and IPX2 certification, which gives resistance to dust entry. Your software is born outdated: Android 14 Made by mine, the manufacturer’s customization layer. That, yes, this time it is seasoned with some artificial intelligence capabilities such as call transcripts and a personalized voice assistant, as well as Google Gemini. Assemble a fingerprint reader, which as in the rest of folding, is not under the screen. It is located on the unlock button, something that does not dislike. The biggest claim of this Nubia Flip 2 5g is not its processor, or its cameras: affects the fateful point of these devicesthe price. And with everything, he goes up to his predecessor: 699 euros in Europe. Obviously we are not facing a bargain, but it is great news in a market that advances little by little and that is mainly directed to the premium segment. Say that folding comes to democratize are major words For a device that is not cheap. However, it throws a halo of hope, and demonstrates that with certain resignations, it is possible to have a price for mortals. I see increasingly the folding mid -range, who knows if the third generation of these flip gets the final price, I will not lose sight of it.

A study has revealed how much technology pays in Spain

by

Compare it what companies of companies charge It is one of the most effective tools to know what range the remuneration of a certain sector For a certain vacancy or the time of request a salary. However, companies on a very rare occasion make that information public. The Manfred Technological Employment Platform have developed the study ‘Salary comparative of the Tech sector in Spain 2025‘In which, crossing the salary data of five companies operating in Spain, they have been able to establish salary bands for different corporate steps. The importance of salary transparency. In Spain it is not very common for companies to announce the salary bands for each profile and their career plans, although this helps all employees to understand how they can grow within the company and how much they can win. For that reason, in 2023 a New European regulations that will force companies to be more transparent with salaries. That information is relevant when request a salary or know if the salary of a certain job offer adapts to the average values ​​of the sector. Salaries in five technology. To carry out its study, Manfred has analyzed the public salary ranges and scales of Cabify, Alan and Factorial. On the other hand, external sources such as Glassdoor or Levels.fyi To know the data of Glovo and N26. Mandred has analyzed Salary progression For the different software engineering roles, depending on the experience and responsibility of the position, from the most junior profiles to the standing or principal standing positions. In addition, having 2022 datawe can see the salary evolution that these positions have had. Roles and salary profiles of the five companies Source: Manfred.com Where does it charge more and where does it rise faster? According to the study, Alan and Glovo are the companies that offer highest wages For positions of greater responsibility. Specifically, a main engineer can win up to 170,000 euros a year in Alan, and a salary of 150,000 euros annually plus 22,000 euros of variable bonus in Glovo. As for Junior profiles, it is Alan again who best pays its new employees, with salaries ranging between 45,000 euros and 48,000 euros per year. As for the speed with which It can be promoted and increase salary, the situation is somewhat more complex. Companies such as Factorial or Alan have many intermediate salary scales, which could be derived in periods of promotion between 12 and 18 months to the lowest profiles. The authors of the study consider that Glovo is the company where an elevated salary (more than 80,000 euros) can be achieved in less time. However, this process may require a career with more than 10 years of experience. Salary evolution since 2022. In general terms, salaries in the Spanish technology sector have improved considerably since 2022, especially in the most experienced positions. For example, in factorial, the highest salary ranges have improved between 15,000 euros and 30,000 euros a year thanks to the incorporation of a variable bonus. In Cabify, Senior and Staff roles have grown between 13,000 and 30,000 euros a year, while in Glovo, L4 and L5 ranges have increased between 20,000 and 30,000 euros a year in the last three years.

Extremadura has decided to explore an energy “treasure” under his feet: rare earth deposits

by

In recent days, we have heard a lot about “rare earths.” This last obsession of the US president, Donald Trump, has infected everyone and We have followed closely your insatiable search by different parts of the world as Greenland either Ukraine. However, this desire for the dominance of this element is due, among things, that China is the giant that It dominates it. However, to the surprise of many, Extremadura handles the hypothesis that houses a potential of four deposits of rare earths. Short. The Board of Extremadura granted a license In August 2024 to explore an area of ​​49,500 hectares, which will cover 20 municipalities of the Cáceres de los Ibores and scratch field. For its part, indications of the presence of rare earths have also been confirmed in the Badajoz area. An opening for Europe. This new finding marks a new path to Europe, since it needs its own reservations to reduce its dependence on third countries. Francisco Fernández, delegate of the College of Geologists of Extremadura (ICOG), He explained: “The geological characteristics of Extremadura are favorable to house rare earth deposits”, although it is still in a preliminary phase. However, it has not ruled out the possibility that in deposits already exploited from metals I can host these elements. In addition, more than five years ago there were previous work where there had been search for mining resources in the area. The work, entitled “Mining Resources of Extremadura, Rocks and Industrial Minerals”was commissioned by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, and placed the deposits in the Pacenses localities of Bartrota and Burguillos del Cerro, and in a cacereña, Alía. Spain has potential. The deposits are not reduced only to Extremadura. Spain has a wide variety of elements to extract and different areas for it. In particular, rare earths can find them in Galicia, Gran Canaria, Almería, Ciudad Realamong other places. The fan that has been opened is very wide, but these deposits have in common not only the element, but their extraction seems to be complex. However, another thing that does not remain and we can affirm that we have is ingenuity. In Spain, the formula has been found to stop depending on other countries to obtain rare earths, and It is by recycling. From a recycling plant, valuable elements are recovered through a process of merger at high temperatures. Other critical minerals. Ester Boixereu, an expert in Mineral and Vocal Resources of ICOG, in an interview for Radio 5, has detailed That rare earths are a critical mineral, but that the list of critical minerals in turn is a “very long list of elements.” In addition, he added that rare earth minerals have a peculiarity, and are not difficult names, but do not form their own minerals. In other words, it is difficult to find a high concentration of these elements, since they are all together in a series of minerals. On the other hand, Extremadura has a lot to offer, as it has great potential for minerals and is also in plans to carry out a Great Lithium Mine. However, making a more general photograph, Spain He is highlighting In the EU as a power in other productions such as copper, wolframium, graphite, vanadium and cobalt, among others. A long road. Despite the potential, rare earth mining is not immediate or simple. Despite the advance in extraction technologies to significantly reduce the environmental impact, there are still concerns about past cases such as that of Aznalcóllar. For this reason, Spanish legislation requires rigorous environmental controls before authorizing any mining exploitation to ensure care of the environment.

Europe already has its master lines to consolidate the electric car. And along the way it will copy China’s tactics

by

The European Commission has submitted its proposal to boost the electric car in Europe. A proposal that arrives with various open fronts, that opens its hand with the manufacturers in the field of short -term broadcasts and that points to greater protectionism against China. These are the master lines of a plan that should gradually approve in various lines of action. What do we have? The proposal of the European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyen, to promote the use and electric car production in the medium term. The intention of Europe remains to electrify much of the fleet of vehicles that circulate on our roads for which it is expected to allocate 1.8 billion euros. The proposal will have to be approved in various packages by the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. It remains, therefore, to receive the approval of the countries to carry out measures that take into account from the regulations for the production of batteries. Emissions. It is undoubtedly the most controversial aspect. Advanced by the president herself From the European Commission last Monday, manufacturers will have up to 2027 to comply with the limits of emissions that should be applied this year under the threat of fines that could be one thousand millionaire. The idea was to sanction all manufacturers that They will exceed 93.6 gr/km of CO2 Maximum fleet sold with 95 euros per gram overcome and car sold. That put manufacturers such as the Volkswagen Group against fines that could approach 7,000 million euros. If approved (von der Leyen aspires to be a rapid procedure) manufacturers will have to comply with that limit of 93.6 gr/km of CO2 in 2027 but it will be an average emissions of the last three years. That is, they will be able to overcome this year and compensate in the coming years to enter within the maximum limits set. China. Before China’s competition, Europe seeks to arm. He wants to do it with a comprehensive strategy that facilitates the production of batteries for electric cars on European soil and putting obstacles, as we will see, to use bridge to countries with special commercial treaties with the European Union. What Europe wants to do is simply Copy the tactic that China has been applying more than 20 years. The European Commission speaks of “ensuring that investments from countries external to the European Union benefit local companies and help improve long -term competitiveness.” To achieve this, they hold in The countrythe European Commission is willing to support that foreign manufacturers ally with local companies and, in this way, facilitate the transfer of knowledge. When China positioned itself as a cheap and attractive soil for vehicle manufacturers, it used this tactic: who would like to manufacture in China would have all the facilities but should Alder yes or yes with a local manufacturer. The only one that has avoided it has been Tesla But it has arrived much later and in another context than its rivals. The Morocco Bridge. In recent months, Morocco and Türkiye They were positioning themselves as a very attractive market for Chinese companies. Their specific commercial treaties with the European Union allowed them to skip tariffs on electric cars while obtaining a cheap labor. The European Commission wants to end that and force companies to manufacture on continental soil. However, we will have to see what repercussions this has if it goes ahead. There are European companies, such as Stellantis either Renaultthat already contribute the advantages that Morocco offers them to manufacture their cheapest cars and lower profit margin. Europe’s notice in this regard is clear and, if necessary, they will use “the use of commercial defense instruments, such as anti -subvent measures, to protect European unfair competition companies”: Purchase aid. It was one of the great questions and we have barely obtained an answer. The possibility of standardizing the aid to the purchase and that Europe directly apply the discount on the purchase of the car and deliver the money corresponding to the dealerships is rumored for a long time. In Spain We continue without MOVES Plan But so far criticisms have always pointed to long waiting to collect the subsidy. The money delivered was European but currently has to go through the Spanish State that distributes it between the autonomous communities and they manage aid. This way of working can cause more aid to be approved than money available, extending the waiting time to collect. In other countries, Like Portugal or Germanythe discount was directly reflected at the time of purchase. That aid is then processed by the manufacturer who presents the documentation to the State and receives the corresponding money. The processes are expedited, there is greater transparency and greater security is created in the face of the client receiving the money as soon as possible. However, the European Commission has only assured that “it will actively work with member states to optimize these incentive systems for consumers”, without giving more details.

These teams have always presumed to have the most ambitious Hardware chips and configurations of Apple, and its third generation does not disappoint. In fact, we have a “base” model based on the Apple M4 Max, and a specially remarkable model based on the Ultra M3, a chip that goes even further in performance. According to Apple, the Mac Studio M4 Max It is up to three times and a half faster than the version with the M1 Max – a somewhat unfair comparison, that processor It is 2021-. As with the MacBook Pro M4 Max, this team starts from the 36 GB of unified memory, but can reach 128 GB, a specially respectable CIRA. The storage capacity ranges from the 512 GB of departure to 8 TB. Things go quite further with him Mac Studio M3 Ultra It also has a variant of 32 CPU nuclei and 80 GPU, in addition to a 32 -core Neural Engine. Memory configuration ranges from 96 to amazing 512 GB of unified memory, and the storage can go from 1 TB to 16 TB. These teams, especially with regard to these unified memory configurations, are especially interesting to experiment with artificial intelligence – especially, with Open Source models -, and of course Apple here raises an extra option for those who want to take advantage of these teams to the fullest. Of course, making the leap to extra configuration options can shoot the price extraordinarily. We have done a test by configuring the most powerful Mac Studio that could be configured and the result is probably a real performance monster, but also of the price: It costs 17,674 euros with all extras. There are additional improvements in these chips. According to Apple, the GPUS of these soc offer two interesting systems. The first, a dynamic cacheo system that allows you to store data that is frequently accessed in the cache to reduce latency. The second, a hardware accelerated mesh Shating system and will undoubtedly help in graphic tasks. These new models maintain the same design of their predecessors, but the USB-C ports Now they are Thunderbolt 5 (In the M4 Max the two strikers are USB 3 Gen 2), which allows you to enjoy all the advanced options of said standard. Mac Studio versions and prices (2025) The new Mac Studio (2025) can already be reserved on the Apple website, and will be available in stores from next March 12. Prices are as follows: Mac Studio (2025, M4 Max): From 2,529 euros Mac Studio (205, m3 ultra): From 5,049 euros More information | Apple
