In that sense, neither Windows nor the land of Intel Macs needs saving they both still have huge audiences who have every right to stand by their chosen platforms. Intel-based PCs and, indeed, Intel Macs, can be incredibly performant. Windows users aren’t going to abandon their machines because of these new Macs. However, I’ve never been interested in – or understood – the platform wars. That’d require some form of collaboration with another chip manufacturer – and while that’s probably on the cards, they’re still ten years behind Apple on this.

Microsoft? Perhaps they could dive in and save the day for Windows? Not really. It’ll require years of development they’re yet to expend. I was recently listening to MacBreak Weekly, on which people who are far smarter than I am with this stuff were discussing just how far behind Intel is.Īs Alex Lindsay pointed out, it’s hard to conceive how on Earth the world’s most recognised chip manufacturer could develop something as capable as the M1 and push it out to the mass market.

People dug deeply into the numbers and compared them against the Intel equivalents.īut that’s the issue – there is no equivalent chip at the moment. I don’t have any interest in benchmarks, personally – but that’s not the reason for the heading above.Īs soon as Apple launched its M1 chip, it was, unsurprisingly, thrown into a world of benchmarking. The performance doesn’t need benchmarking
