A Geekbench 6.3 benchmark of Apple's M6 Mac mini shows single-core and multi-core performance gains of roughly 10% and 20% respectively over the M5, aligning with Apple's claims. Surprisingly, the M6 trails Apple's A20 Pro smartphone chip in single-core performance and clock speed despite better thermal conditions, possibly due to different core design choices between the M-series and A-series.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 is an impressive foldable smartphone with a wider format, slim design, and strong performance, but it falls short of perfection due to a missing telephoto lens, thermal throttling issues, lack of S Pen support, and a steep $1,899 starting price that limits its appeal beyond dedicated foldable enthusiasts.
