Traditionally Apple's marketing compared against the previous generation, not multiple generations old hardware.
It seems tacky to me because the M2's competition isn't really 2019 Intel MBPs- it's laptops using modern Intel/AMD CPUs (the M2 may still be better than those, but if that's the case those are the benchmarks they should be giving us)
- guax 4y agoThey did. 20% improvement in cpu and 30% ish in GPU.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoVs Raptor Lake or Ryzen?
- guax 4y agoVersus the previous generation (m1) as mentioned by the comment this respond to.
- tcmart14 4y agoI think the reason for the big push is to get people to switch over. At this point, they are still supporting some Intel macs and needing to try to keep some parity with previous macs is probably just a cost sink now with how their future trajectory is going. Get all the people off the intel macs ASAP so they can drown intel support in the bathtub. Granted, I don't think they will 100% kill intel. My guess is, it just won't be public. They will keep a few internal machines that MacOS is minimally functional on so if they ever want to switch back, they already have a base. Would be my guess.
