You’d have to exclude “we the Mac buyers” because they don’t get anything
It’s a win in a book that’s not in their library! LOL

Intel Says New Core i9 Processor for Laptops is Faster Than Apple's M1 Max Chip

It’s a win in a book that’s not in their library! LOLyes and only available on laptops in the $3500-and-up class? I'm a PC guy but my M1 MBA kills anything PC that's out there in the MBA price range, I mean not even close. Little Dell 9310's with Core i5's are in the $2k range...can only imagine what an i9 would come in at, let alone thermal accomodation.
Shouldn't Intel's real competition be AMD? I mean, I have an AMD laptop and it's amazingly fast. Can't say the same for my work laptop, which has an Intel processor on it. Sometimes the laptop is in idle state and fans are running at full speed.
I mean Mac users are Mac users, because they most likely do not want to run Windows. I don't know. It just doesn't make sense to me as in why Intel is constantly attacking Apple. Apple is not going back as it'd look extremely bad.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the most readily available high performance GPU in the future was shipping in macOS systems? LOL
No, Macs would still exist, it’s just that none of them would be used by folks to play Mac games… which, I mean, is reality right? As a result, any people you may meet from time to time that SAY they are Mac gamers are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
I'm not sure why them being metal is preferred. It makes my wrists ache/cold. I'd rather have a plastic housing. It's why I spend a lot more time on a plastic-keyboard-equipped iPad Pro than a laptop. Well, part of the reason anyway.
Some of us don't care about the supposedly more upscale/expensive appearance. And, all things equal, I'd suspect a laptop with a plastic shell can be lighter. If the laptop doesn't *need* the metal because of using it as a heatsink, plastic for me please.
Maybe because you haven't looked around enough. Lenovo Legions, for example, are metal and I'm sure there are others. Aluminum isn't as exotic vs titanium/magnesium that you hype it up to be and is actually relatively cheap that's why soda/beer cans are made from it. Plus, even plastic Thinkpads are mil-spec which Macbooks are not.
Liquid coolers, at least the ones I use, have no fans. You literally just plug the pump's power into one of the fan connectors and that's it. So no sound unless you think you can hear that tiny pump (you can't). It circulates water from the CPU to the passive radiator.
Most of it’s not even hate, really. “Hot takes” are the currency of the internet
ARTISTS! I want a webcomic with these “faces” stat! I promise to view multiple times a week even if you only update monthlyActually be somewhat funny if you had use plugs that people can relate to.
I get a feeling you haven't even read the post you originally responded to. The latter is almost literally what I wrote.
That is like taunting the miners, there is a bountiful amount of Apple hardware just waiting for a software rewrite to get all of the hash rate…
They used the Apple's Xcode compiler for the M1 and Intel's ICC compiler for the Alder Lake. How is that "shenanigans"? And just in case you didn't now, LLVM is not a compiler but a compiler framework (and, BTW, ICC also uses LLVM now). Apple has every opportunity to optimize the Xcode compiler (and particularly their back end for the M1), so it's only fair that Intel is given the same opportunity.
Apple lost their Apple Silicon lead to Intel. Wonder how much of impact that will have for either company. Nice career move from Principle Engineer to Director then CTO.

The mainstream Alder Lake desktop parts are the most power efficient retail CPUs you can currently buy when you measure the performance per Watt. See e.g.:

People make the mistake of only looking at the peak consumption of the aggressively turbo-boosted enthusiast versions. But the more reasonably clocked Alder Lakes are actually very efficient and also perform very well. There is good reason to assume the same will hold for the mobile parts.
Its heading that way! Adobe is crashing HARD on my Windows system with my AMD 5700XT (others with the same GPU report the same problems) so I was looking for ANY NVIDIA card a few months ago. Even the GTX 1060 was selling for a few hundred. And I certainly don't want to just buy a pre-built system just for the GPU. So I just ended up decommissioning my Windows PC and Adobe work and just am using my M1 Max Macbook Pro even though After Effects with Plug-ins are rosetta.
I’m hoping that, at some point in the future, a new GPU is sufficiently powerful enough for mining companies to potentially offload some of their older cards. Then, those using PC’s will be able to obtain 3-5 year old GPU’s at, well, probably still an inflated price, BUT they’d be “available” at least
You CAN still buy them as a part of integrated systems, right? They’re just not selling them to people that already have computers?
That is ridiculous! I am looking for a 3080 or 3090. I am not sure when I will be able to get an NVIDIA card again.
