Comparing the M1 Pro and Max to Intel’s Alder Lake is a bit like comparing apples to burnt oranges.
Yes, Alder Lake is now out and according to benchmarks it is faster than Apple’s latest laptop chips, almost 1.5 times as fast in multi-core performance.
There is a bit of a drawback, however. You wouldn’t happen to have a fusion reactor at home, would you? No? They haven’t been invented yet? Darn. Because at 256W versus less than half that for the M1, Intel might as well be burning coal to make speed gains.
