Intel and AMD are waving the white flag. They're bowing to Apple and admitting that they can't compete in the laptop arena.
- noobermin 4y agoHow is this "waving the white flag." That usually signals defeat, this is an attempt to build hype.
- r00fus 4y agoCan you run this chip on a laptop? How will they hope to compete with Apple's M2Pro/Max? Answer: they won't. It'll be like phone chips where Apple is 2+ years ahead of the game for perf/watt.
- nottorp 4y agoIt sounds like Samsung's marketing on the phone side. Wasn't there a time when they competed on having more cpu cores? And they were caught overclocking them when benchmarks were run, leading to power consumption and heat that was unsustainable in normal usage? At least Intel is doing this with a desktop CPU. If you can afford the electricity bill generated by said GPU and the A/C to cool the room.
- neogodless 4y agoThis comment is a bit like saying Telsa is admitting they cannot compete in entry level electric cars because they announced the Cybertruck's maximum performance figures. Meanwhile, 9 out of 10 laptops sold... contain Intel or AMD chips (or presumably Qualcomm), rather than Apple Silicon. https://macdailynews.com/2022/01/31/apple-takes-10-share-of-worldwide-notebook-personal-computer-market-in-q421/ https://macdailynews.com/2022/01/31/apple-takes-10-share-of-... Now if the question was... is Apple Silicon much more efficient... than an enthusiast level desktop CPU?
