I guess Intel is busy making and selling sizzle, while Apple sells the steak and makes a bundle.

Intel's Anti-Mac Ad Campaign Highlights M1 Shortcomings

Pointing a big red arrow at your niche competitor looks like you're scared. But I guess they probably are.
I hope Intel's new CEO isn't going to try to use marketing to fix their problems. They really need to up their science/engineering/production game. A new CEO who suddenly goes on a marketing blitz in a product/technology company is a bad sign IMO.
It is also the best evidence yet how good the M1 is...

That's pure ignorance. Intel has been reporting record revenues and profits quarter after quarter. I guess Intel and Apple are both dying then.
The Apple Silicon architecture is a Best Fit for the MacBook Air.
Apple can go up a-little (various MacBook Pro models) & down-alittle (a lower-end MacBook Air model) from there, but NOT much in either direction.
Anything more than that is just Tim Cook's Smoke & Mirrors / Dog & Pony Show marketing.

The last desperate attempt to stay relevant. Poor Intel, the old dinosaur is going into extinction.
More an attempt to confuse the situation and get purchase intenders to delay purchase decisions until Intel has something competitive.
it will fail when Apple releases its M1X pro chips.
Because Apple never delivers on their product promises, right? You seem rather jealous of understated success.
M1 is a cooler chip that doesn't require a jet engine fan to keep is cold.
Yes to all this, to superleccy, I come across as an Apple fanboy often so me too often ask myself, but these statements aren’t...
Also, we could add to that battery statement “edit, render, etc on full performance” because most laptop PCs can have whatever RTX big-cool-numbering in it but as soon as they are unplugged performance goes to half of it on all fronts: single core scores below 1000, multi core and gpu scores go half.
Besides, the ads examples are both misleading and incredibly hand picked, Apple could say “if you are swifting through a magnetic timeline while editing on Final Cut, you are on a Mac”, then rinse and repeat with hundreds of Mac only apps... that’s borderline lazy, plus there are ways to run PC games on Mac with great performance on the lowest ARM Mac chip to date, tons of YouTube videos with them.
It's funny, I do have a PC for playing Rocket League. However, it has an AMD Ryzen CPU like so many other PCs these days.
Intel is just bitter that Apple beat them at their own game. Raise your standards, not your voice.
What are you talking about? M1 is best fit for the products they’re in, and if you think that this isn’t scalable you’re going to be eating your words in a few months time.
m1 not perfect point price compare intel. but cheaper value then older generation(worth value).
Doesn't an iPad provide tablet mode, touch screen and stylus capabilities in a single device?
Wonder what Intel's profit is of selling individual laptops vs their business in data center and enterprise boxes? Keep in mind, if Intel makes great chips, they'll still profit from cloud computing on the back end of Apple selling a lot of devices. This is them flexing for marketing reasons to reassure their OEMs and investors, not because they're really at war, here. They know they have to do war, internally, first.
Funny enough, if I want to consider buying a PC laptop, for which there are plenty of good reasons, (including x86 development, gaming, a fetish for touch screens, etc), the AMD Ryzen 5000 would be what I would be looking at. You can also flip them over and fry eggs on the bottom of the chassis.

I would honestly *hate* a touch-screen MacBook. I flip out even seeing a single accidental fingerprint on the screen and will wipe the screen down with a microfiber pretty often. I can't imagine my MacBook screen looking like the mess that is my iPhone screen. 🤢
You'd have a point if iPad was a Mac. It is not thus Intel claim stands.
My Ryzen CPU is by far the best CPU I have ever had in a gaming desktop. Not even close. AMD and Apple are just killing it and I love it!
I do not. My son does though, and the screen is like some sort of petri-dish of foulness and filth 🤣.
I absolutely do like iPads though. I just prefer the clean look when it comes to laptops, and haven't ever felt like I was missing something not being able to touch the screen.
Presenter was crap. Typical annoyingly high pitched, sing song voice. Ridiculous content too.
Is this the best intel can come up with?
