Comment on Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market

simple@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Of course intel would be the last company to admit x86 is dying. It just doesn’t make sense to keep doubling down on it anymore, Apple has proven ARM is more power efficient and in many cases more powerful than x86. I wanted to buy a new laptop this year but it makes no sense to do so considering Windows ARM machines are right around the corner and will triple battery life and increase performance.

Intel is a licensed ARM manufacturer. They’re just doing PR but are capable of playing both sides.

CPU aside, it’s best to wait for thunderbolt 5 to mature. Might finally be able to go to using one device for travel and an eGPU for gaming.

  Did you have issues with tb and an egpu? Beside some minor issues, my laptop with tb3 and an egpu works actually good.

  I mean that’s fine. I’m just saying that x86 chips are still faster. If you want a beefy laptop, especially a work device that only needs to be slightly portable eg drag it to conference rooms and back to your desk, there is little current reason to go with ARM. I’m not saying they won’t catch up but folks in here seem to be thinking that ARM is currently faster.

What arm chips are faster than ryzen or Intel chips?

  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.
