Monday morning’s collection of the best deals on Apple gear is here, and it’s a good one. We have up to $150 off the elevated configuration of the new 15-inch MacBook Air joined by a solid price drop on Apple’s latest 10-core 512GB M3 24-inch iMac in various colorways. From there, we move over to the audio side of things and the latest iteration of AirPods Pro 2 with the USB-C MagSafe charging case down at $180 and a gigantic $170 price drop on the Beats Studio Pro Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones. All of that and more awaits down below in today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

We put AMD's Ryzen 7 5700X3D through a battery of gaming and productivity benchmarks to see how it fares against competing Intel processors. 
Robert Heath Dennard, a pioneer in electrical and computer engineering who invented DRAM, passed away on April 23, 2024. He will also be remembered for Dennard Scaling theory, based on Moore’s law. 
AMD graphics card partner XFX has launched a new flagship. We first saw the XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana graphics card at the end of April, but now it has been listed on China’s JD.com retail portal at roughly $1,100.

▲ Lenovo 推出最新 ThinkPad L 系列與 X13 系列筆電，兼顧創新科技與環境永續。
▲ Lenovo 提升 ThinkPad 筆電的可修復性並採用環保材料，降低碳排放量，協助客戶落實永續經營目標。
▲ 全新 ThinkPad 系列筆電搭載 Intel Core Ultra 處理器及 NPU，能將專業任務下放至專用硬體上，使 AI 實力再升級。
▲ 雙系列筆電涵蓋 13 吋到 16 吋多種尺寸，皆搭載 16：10 比例螢幕，能輕鬆滿足注重便攜性與大螢幕需求的專業人士。
▲ Lenovo 致力於推行多元設計，遵循無障礙標準，提供更具包容性的使用體驗，為整個產業設立全新標準。
▲ 檢索增強生成（Retrieval Augmented Generation，RAG）能夠讓現有LLM「讀取」新資料庫的資訊，達到快速追加新資料的效果。
▲ Intel攜手眾多合作夥伴建立適合企業AI的開放平台。
▲ Vision 24大會演說進行的RAG實際展示，展示平台為執行於Gaudi 2加速器上的Llama 2 70B模型。（可參考
▲ 當被詢問到Vision 24大會中RAG段落的資訊時，左方的純Llama 2 70B模型回應不知道資訊，然後列出RAG的解釋。右方的Llama 2 70B模型搭配RAG則能在資料庫中找到演說資料，並列出資料來源的參考檔案。
▲ 將畫面放大看，搭配RAG的情況下能夠回答演說的日期、時間、地點等資訊。
▲ 接下來詢問RAG搭配Gaudi 2加速器與Xeon處理器能帶來的TCO效益，純Llama 2 70B模型回應相當冗長，但資訊並不是十分實用。Pat Gelsinger開玩笑說跟他的一位叔叔一樣，講了半天但是沒有重點。
▲ 搭配RAG則是清楚回應能夠提供1.5倍相對於NVIDIA H100平台的TCO優勢。
▲ 接下才測試輸入提示詞對回答造成的影響，先輸入你有AI軟體市場成長的預估資料嗎（Do you have forecast data for AI software market revenue growth?）。
▲ 接下來將問題原文的資料（data）改為資訊（inforamtion），純Llama 2 70B模型的2次回答南轅北轍，而搭配RAG則回答相同，能夠降低不同提示詞所造成的回答偏差。
▲ Minisforum NAB6 Lite是款搭載Intel Core i5-12600H處理器的迷你電腦。
▲ 機身後方具kensington鎖孔，能搭配鎖扣鎖在桌腳防竊。
▲ 散熱進氣口位於機身底部，2側與後方具有排氣口，比較特別的是採用散熱鰭片直接外露的設計。
▲ 散熱風道採用下進、側出的方式，處理器透過熱導管傳導至側面開口的鰭片進行散熱。
