The Alder Lake 12th Gen 16 core Chip still kicks Apple Silicon in the Butt

And the upcoming Raptor Lake 13th Gen 24 core chip released this October is gonna WASTE Apple Silicon even worse

So its best to build a Ventura Hackintosh based on these chips over Apple Silicon.

The Graphics cards will outperform Apples GPU cores on a chip too
what Macbook will that chip be in? What pc notebook will that chip be in that gets 18 hours of battery life AND full performance when on battery? That’s right, none.
 
I compared the Mac Mini M1 8/256 with MacBook Pro M2 8/256 and I see the MacBook is slightly faster than the MM M1 in every sector. But the differences are not chaotic and nobody thinks that they would be. I am very happy with my new machine and I hope Apple will support it many years..
 
That's certainly a stupid assumption to make.

Now some Apple customers will learn this the hard way. I'm extremely happy about that.
Didn’t Apple, at least in part, build its’ reputation on being simple and straightforward to use and understand? Your statement seems to demand of Apple customers exactly that which Apple is widely known not to demand. Why does such a situation engender “extreme happiness”? Is it Apple knowingly undermining one of its’ chief principles? Or maybe you just enjoy specialized knowledge, like a surgeon who can reassemble the functions of your deadened cardiovascular system using skills of which you are ignorant, but buys an M2 Macbook Pro because she is far too busy keeping people like you alive to delve into the minutia of the technology she trusts?

(I’m resisting a deeper exploration of the psychological implications of what you describe brings you extreme happiness, except to say there’s little discernible difference between what you say you feel and those who, in various scenarios unnecessary to elaborate, too often proclaim that this or that person “got what they deserved.”)
