The 14900 does not reflect Intel’s radically more efficient upcoming 18A and 14A nodes which is what much of the hype around the company’s revival is hoped on.

The 14900 does not reflect Intel’s radically more efficient upcoming 18A and 14A nodes which is what much of the hype around the company’s revival is hoped on. Time will tell when products based on 18A come out in a few months.
- intrasight 1y agoHere is the issue. Apple is two years ahead. They've been two years ahead for a while, and they will be two years ahead going forward a few years or forever.
- pixelpoet 1y agoIf we pretend Strix Halo doesn't exist, sure.
- tyleo 1y agoI get your point but Strix Halo isn’t Intel. Maybe another company can close the gap but it still doesn’t bode well for Intel.
- bigbadfeline 1y ago> I get your point but Strix Halo isn’t Intel. But of course, Apple isn't Apple, nor is AMD AMD - they're both Taiwan's TSMC.
- tyleo 1y agoIt isn’t clear that TSMC is all the special sauce here. The Apple chips are uniquely good in my experience so far. Maybe another chip has similar power/performance but: 1. I haven’t seen real-world examples showing that 2. It might not run the desktop workloads I care about Maybe some other TSMC-based device is out there that suits my needs but if it is, it at least has piss poor advertising.
- bigbadfeline 1y agoQualcomm and Apple are neck to neck, inching ahead of each other with each new design - both use TSMC for production.
- tyleo 1y agoInteresting, can you tell me more? Do you have any links to real world examples or tests?
- xrd 1y agoCan you elaborate on this? I'm curious to hear more details about this. For example, does a Asus ROG laptop match M chips from Apple? For example, I see Asus ROG g16 indicates a 13th gen Intel chip. Am I wrong to assume these are the same thing and don't suffer the same problems? Any links I should review?
- dontlaugh 1y agoThat matches performances, but sadly not efficiency.
- tyleo 1y agoI don’t know. I feel like we could also make claims about Apple hardware that isn’t out yet. “M4 does not represent Apple’s radically different M6 processor.” Intel may get faster but the competition should also be expected to get faster.
- tonyedgecombe 1y agoIntel have a track record of over promising and under delivering. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was what pushed Apple into creating the M series processors.
