Right - show me an ambiently-cooled Intel laptop with the same performance as a MacBook Air M1, available for purchase in the market, metric-for-metric. It doesn’t exist.
- MBCook 5y agoBased on Intel’s graph it looks like they be able to beat the M1 Max in performance at 35 watts. And that would be great. But laptops shouldn’t need to draw 35 watts minimum. If it can’t scale down when idle I think I’d pass.
- howdydoo 5y agoI have an i9-12900K (same gen desktop chip) that is self-reporting ~15W idle. I would be pretty surprised if their mobile chip didn't scale lower than that.
- MBCook 5y agoI was going off the slide shown on this tweet: https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1478514671980269574 https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/1478514671980269574 It doesn’t show the new Intel processors going below about 30 watts. Then again I kind of doubt the M1 Max chips can’t get below 20 W.
