#2Whilst consuming over 100 watts versus ~40 watts for the M1 max.

#33.5%-5% increase in performance at more than double the wattage, for a chip that is not in consumers hands against a chip that basically hasn't changed and was released 14 months ago~
This is not the victory that the title implies.
It's also a _little_ bit funny that the i9 laptop was double the price, given people usually rant loudly about how expensive Apple computers are.

#4> During the Cinebench R23 multi-core test, the Alder Lake laptop was consistently in the 100-watt range, [...] M1 Max’s power draw was 39.7 watts
Ouch.
> MSI GE76 Raider got 6 hours of offline video playback, a far cry from the MacBook Pro’s 17 hours.
Double ouch. That's a huge gap, and 6 is low even in absolute terms.
It's still a nice beefy chip, but still a far cry from the engineering marvel that Apple pulled off with the M1

About twice the price too.

#6Yea the old narrative of "arm is power efficient, but doesn't actually run real desktop level stuff at that power level" is pretty dead at this point.. it now runs desktop level stuff at 3x lower power than intel's latest chips.. and the potential for apple's chips to keep improving at that same power envelope is definitely there.. so...

#7Dumb question, but whats the engineering principle behind higher performance when increasing power usage?
Is it because pipelines are clocked faster?

100 watts, so basically I have no reason to use this over a desktop. The battery life on the m1 macbooks is a game changer. I don't need more power out of my laptop I need it to be cool to the touch and last at least 9 hours with normal usage.

With RTX 3080 Ti though. So yeah - I don't think it can match Apple M1 efficiency but reviews of P-series and U-series Alder Lake mobile CPUs are going to be interesting and what I am looking forward to.

#10They should change the title to "slightly faster at massively larger TDP"
