"high-end" arm windows machines never made much sense to me. It seems that the main appeal is longer battery life, but looking at the recent CPU from AMD, and the rumors of the next CPU from intel.It's seem clear to me that x86 is making more progress in reducing power consumption than arm is making in performance. And i wouldn't be surprise that in a couple of year we get very efficient x86 cpu's from both AMD and intel.
- tracker1 3y agoAMD is getting here, certainly... the latest 7430HS mini PCs still use 6-8W at idle though, which is quite a bit more than ARM still. I've been using an m1 air as a personall laptop and when traveling rarely even think about having to plug it in... for my limited use with the screen around 60% brightness, I can use it all day and then some. Mostly text/email or remote editing (wireguard, ssh, vs code).
- soulbadguy 3y agoI agree, Mx laptop are still miles ahead in term of performance per what. But i would venture to suggest that a lot of it is more about the platform (OS, BIOS,chipset etc... etc...) then the CPU per-say.
- CameronNemo 3y agoIsn't 7430HS a Zen3 chip? Presumably Zen4 will be better. Remains to he seen, though.
- tracker1 3y agoWas supposed to be 7840hs,sorry.
