Well, just two months in, and this claim didn't age well at all.
- jack_riminton 6y agoThe whole piece just reads like a butt-hurt PC guy who can't face reality
- rusk 6y agoMaybe he’s hoping to get free stuff from Intel?
- zirkonit 6y agoTo provide a bit more nuance to my snark - out of 8-core Intel Core i9's currently sold in laptops, in multi-core Geekbench 5, M1 loses to 9900K by 18%, beats 9980HK by 13% and 9880H by whopping 20%. In single-core, it is single fastest currently available processor, destroying the aforementioned i9's by 30% to 50%.
- zirkonit 6y agoTo add even more insult to the injury, the only laptop with 9900K you can currently buy in my market is a gaming monstrosity 3.5x more expensive AND 3.5x heavier than M1 MacBook Air.
- lmilcin 6y agoThat is what happens when you invoke physics without understanding it. No, there is no law that would prevent new SoC to outperform 8-core Intel Core i9. Personally, when I see stupid argument like that I immediately stop reading. I know it is waste of time.
