Thu, 19 Apr 2018 22:41:28 +00009to5MacHands-on: DaVinci Resolve’s eGPU-accelerated timeline performance and exports totally crush integrated GPU results [Video]
https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/19/macos-egpu-performance-test-davinci-resolve-video/
Thu, 19 Apr 2018 20:59:53 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/04/davinci-resolve-studio-egpu-macos-test.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600" /></div><p>Even though Final Cut Pro X curiously doesn’t support external GPUs yet, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/davinci-resolve/id571213070?mt=12&uo=4&at=11l9Le">DaVinci Resolve</a> is another popular <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-linear_editing_system">NLE</a> that already works with eGPUs on macOS. In fact, <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/davinci-resolve-studio/id900392332?mt=12&uo=4&at=11l9Le">the $299 Studio edition</a> supports multiple GPUs, which can have a noticeable effect on both timeline and render/export performance.</p>
<p>I’ve been super impressed with the relentlessness that Blackmagic Design, the creators behind DaVinci Resolve, has displayed while iterating on its hardware and software products. For example, DaVinci Resolve has progressed from what was primarily viewed as a colorist’s tool that you’d use and round trip back to your primary NLE, to a competent standalone NLE. The upcoming version 15, <a href="https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/">now in beta</a>, even sports a motion graphics platform called Fusion that’s baked right in.</p>
<p>As I recently traversed the show floor in Las Vegas at NAB 2018, there was a noticeable buzz about DaVinci Resolve — several popular vendors specifically named-dropped Resolve in reference to its eGPU support, and noted the impressive performance gains made possible by this feature.</p>
<p>In this hands-on video walkthrough, I showcase using DaVinci Resolve with multiple eGPUs. As you’ll see, an eGPU can turn a MacBook Pro — a machine that may struggle editing in DaVinci Resolve on its own — into a capable editing machine. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/19/macos-egpu-performance-test-davinci-resolve-video/#more-529776" class="more-link">more…</a></p>

Apple’s GiveBack program lets customers return old devices to Apple Stores or Apple.com for recycling, and newer devices can even be traded in for Apple Store credit.</p>

<p>I did manage to resist the temptation to jump ahead to the juicy bits, and my patience was rewarded: a lot of what he says about his interactions with President Trump and his administration are a lot more meaningful when placed into the context of what comes before. Especially the contrast with his relationship – or lack of it – with the Obama administration.</p>
<p>But it was the brief section dealing with the FBI’s infamous battle with Apple which stood out for me …</p>

Wed, 18 Apr 2018 22:07:54 +00009to5MacReport: Qualcomm cutting jobs as it looks to reduce costs by $1B amid Apple legal case
https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/18/qualcomm-cutting-jobs-costs-1-billion/
Wed, 18 Apr 2018 21:43:29 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/fd-qualcomm-logo.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1000" /></div><p><strong>Update</strong>: In a statement to 9to5Mac, a Qualcomm spokesperson said the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>As part of the cost reduction plan announced in January, Qualcomm is conducting a reduction of our full-time and temporary workforce.</p>
<p>A workforce reduction, such as this one, affects not only those employees who are part of the reduction, but their families, co-workers and the community. We recognize this and have offered affected employees supportive severance packages to reduce the impact of this transition on them.</p>
<p>We first evaluated non-headcount expense reductions, but we concluded that a workforce reduction is needed to support long-term growth and success, which will ultimately benefit all our stakeholders.</p></blockquote>
<p>Amid its ongoing legal battle with Apple, Qualcomm is said to be cutting jobs in an effort to reduce costs. A new report from <em><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-18/qualcomm-cutting-jobs-to-live-up-to-promise-of-slashing-costs">Bloomberg</a></em> this afternoon says that Qualcomm is cutting its workforce as part of “cost reductions.”</p>
