Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market::“They’ve been relegated to pretty insignificant roles in the PC business.”

      M2 Max chips are close to the high end i9, but the M series cpus are mobile chips. They’re designed for laptops. If competition is a bit harder then no doubt desktop-focused ARM CPUs will match their performance soon.

        AFAIK they’re large chips though, and larger generally is more performance but also much more expensive to manufacture.

        Which apple chips are faster than AMD or Intel’s best. M2? Because it’s not faster. More efficient sure. Not faster.

          It’s often faster. Usecases vary and for a lot of workflows, there’s nothing as fast as Apple Silicon at the consumer level.

            Basically few to non-existent cases where M2 is faster than either Intel or AMD’s best. On power consumption however it’s a total win for Apple. But performance… No. Not in any way.

              1. Article is about laptop cpus.

              2. M2 is the budget entry chip. M2 Pro/Max is a big jump up.

              3. there’s basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro.

              4. the only benefit Intel/AMD have right now is access to external and better graphics chips made by companies that aren’t Intel.

              5. desktops / servers are a different matter, but again, the article is talking about laptops.

                there’s basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro

                The Intel Core i9-13980HX laptop CPU is between 20% and 100% faster than the M2 Max on nearly every benchmark.
