Approfitta della super offerta prima che scada: solo 579€ invece di 729€!!!

Differenze principali tra Mac Mini M1 e M2:

CPU e GPU:

M1: CPU 8-core (4 performance e 4 efficiency) e GPU 7-core.
M2: CPU 8-core (4 performance e 4 efficiency) e GPU 10-core.

Prestazioni:

M2: Fino al 18% più veloce in CPU single-core e fino al 35% più veloce in GPU rispetto all'M1.

M2 Pro: Fino a 1,9 volte più veloce in CPU e fino a 2,4 volte più veloce in GPU rispetto all'M1.

Memoria:

M1: Supporta fino a 16GB di memoria unificata.
M2: Supporta fino a 24GB di memoria unificata.

Media Engine:

M2: Un media engine più potente per la gestione di video ProRes, H.264 e HEVC, con supporto a flussi multipli fino a 8K.

Connettività:

M1: Wi-Fi 6 e Bluetooth 5.0. M2: Wi-Fi 6E e Bluetooth 5.3.

Altre differenze:

M2: Supporta un display esterno aggiuntivo fino a 8K (M1 supporta fino a 6K). M2: Porta Gigabit Ethernet integrata da 10Gb (M1 ha una porta Gigabit Ethernet).

Benchmark:

Nei test, il Mac Mini M2 con chip base ha mostrato un miglioramento medio del 12% rispetto all'M1 nei test single-core e fino al 20% nei test multi-core.
Le prestazioni per attività specifiche come la transcodifica video ProRes in Final Cut Pro sono fino a 2,4 volte più veloci su M2 Pro rispetto all'M1.
Le prestazioni in Adobe Photoshop sono fino al 50% più veloci su M2 Pro rispetto all'M1.
In generale, il Mac Mini M2 offre prestazioni migliori in CPU, GPU e media engine rispetto all'M1. Ha anche una migliore connettività e supporta più memoria e display esterni. Il Mac Mini M2 Pro offre prestazioni ancora migliori, ma a un prezzo più alto.

Quale Mac Mini scegliere dipende dalle tue esigenze e dal tuo budget.

Se ti serve un computer desktop base per attività quotidiane come la navigazione web, l'email e l'elaborazione di testi, l'M1 è un'ottima scelta. Se hai bisogno di più potenza per attività come l'editing video o fotografico, il rendering 3D o il gaming, l'M2 o l'M2 Pro sono una scelta migliore.

ProteusSF FREE DEMO public release
ProteusSF-Piranha 15.1 (with GPLv3 source)
updated to last Stockfish 15.1 + Polybook support

I'm developing next-gen ProteusSF with Artificial Intelligence

On Playchess.com is very good: First 3366 ELO blitz, 2499 bullet, 2529 LT!
After 3 months of developing in C++ I'm starting my first tests of ProteusSFX-AI !!! First implementation: A supervisor asks to Bard and ChatGPT APIs the best strategy according to the opening when out of the book, then ProteusSF applies some pre-configuted patterns. Eg It doesn't try to win against C67 with White. No learning anymore, contestual analysis in real time that is much faster! Like some leading chess programs, such as AlphaZero and Leela Chess Zero, that already use LLM to improve their performance. LLM can be used to improve chess programs in a number of ways. First, LLM can be used to generate new game ideas. This can be done by using LLM to analyze a wide range of chess positions and identify possible moves that could lead to an advantage. Second, LLM can be used to evaluate the strength of a chess position. This can be done by using LLM to analyze the possible moves of both sides and determine which position is more advantageous. Third, LLM can be used to learn from chess games played by humans. This can be done by using LLM to analyze the games and identify the strategies and tactics that were used to win. Some of the specific ways in which LLM can be used to improve chess programs include: Move generator: LLM can be used to generate new game ideas that might not have been considered by a traditional chess engine. Position evaluation: LLM can be used to evaluate the strength of a chess position more accurately than a traditional chess engine can. Learning from chess games: LLM can be used to learn from chess games played by humans more efficiently than a traditional chess engine can. Chess programs that use LLM have been shown to be able to beat traditional chess programs. For example, AlphaZero beat Stockfish, which was considered the best chess engine in the world at the time, in a series of games. It is likely that LLM will continue to improve the performance of chess programs. As LLM technology continues to develop, chess programs that use LLM will become even stronger. Additional information: LLM stands for "large language model". It is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that is trained on a massive dataset of text and code. LLMs can be used for a variety of tasks, including generating text, translating languages, writing different kinds of creative content, and answering questions in an informative way.
