It’s often faster. Usecases vary and for a lot of workflows, there’s nothing as fast as Apple Silicon at the consumer level.
Comment on Intel doesn’t think that Arm CPUs will make a dent in the laptop market
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 1 year agoWhich apple chips are faster than AMD or Intel’s best. M2? Because it’s not faster. More efficient sure. Not faster.

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.

Article is about laptop cpus.
-
M2 is the budget entry chip. M2 Pro/Max is a big jump up.
-
there’s basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro.
-
the only benefit Intel/AMD have right now is access to external and better graphics chips made by companies that aren’t Intel.
-
desktops / servers are a different matter, but again, the article is talking about laptops.

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

One sec, gonna stick an 1650 Watt UPS in my backpack.
LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Please. You can get 12 and 13 series chips running at 400w.
monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But at those power consumptions series 12/13 aren’t significantly better than an M2…
