          Apple walks Ars through the iPad Pro’s A12X system on a chip

          Apple's Anand Shimpi, Phil Schiller talk silicon—"This is really an Xbox One S class GPU."

          Apple made some big claims about the A12X during its presentation announcing the product: that it has twice the graphics performance of the A10X; that it has 90 percent faster multi-core performance than its predecessor; that it matches the GPU power of the Xbox One S game console with no fan and at a fraction of the size; that it has 1,000 times faster graphics performance than the original iPad released eight years ago; that it's faster than 92 percent of all portable PCs.

                Samsung’s foldable phone is real, and it launches next year

                It was veiled in darkness, but Samsung showed off its first folding phone

                ...After a lot of talk about Bixby and Samsung's Android Pie update, the company cut the lights and showed off a folding smartphone veiled in darkness and hidden in a case. It wasn't a full device announcement, but we're still able to glean some information from Samsung's tease.

                Samsung is calling this hardware the "Infinity Flex Display," and it will come as part of the company's first foldable smartphone. As you would expect from Samsung, the display is still OLED. The cover is no longer glass, of course, because glass isn't flexible. Samsung says it developed "an advanced composite polymer"—plastic—to cover the display instead....

                        Good to hear about Btrfs. Hopefully this will convinced Red Hat to support it again.

                          RH doesn't support it because they are trying to create a competitor. Not because they didn't think that it was good.

                                            A simplified storage stack would be nice. I wish I was optimistic about anyone actually accomplishing said goal. Still, even if they just have automatic provisioning of different cache tiers, that'd be worth moving to.
