Despite the power of Apple's latest M1 series processor, it was only a matter of time before competitors could make processors like it and match it in performance and power, and now Intel is promoting its latest high-end laptop chip as outperforming the Apple M1 Max chip, in the latest Assortment of 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros.
Intel unveiled its new 2022th-generation chip at CES XNUMX, claiming not only that it beats Apple's best silicon chip, but that it's "the fastest mobile processor ever."
The Intel Core i9-12900HK chip is the company's flagship chip, so it's no surprise that it's giving its best shot at the show. The chip is designed with 7nm technology, and claims to be the equivalent of TSMC's 5nm technology used in Apple's latest chips. The Core i9 processor also comes with a 14-core CPU with six performance cores and eight efficiency cores. This gives the Turbo Boost frequency 5.0GHz.
In comparison, the most powerful 1-core M10 Max chip uses eight performance cores and only two efficiency cores. And while Apple doesn't like to talk about CPU speeds, the M1 cores also run at just 3 Hz, so despite Intel's chipset packing in fewer performance cores, Turbo Boost speeds allow it to accelerate far beyond The M1 Max can do.
While Intel seems to be boasting some impressive performance numbers for the new chip, it also comes at a very high cost.
We already know that Intel chipsets are a huge drain on power, and the new i9 chip is no exception. In fact, it seems that Intel chose to sacrifice power for maximum performance.
This is in stark contrast to Apple's M-Series chipset strategy, which revolves around saving power, managing it well, and delivering optimum performance at the same time. And when Apple announced the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors last fall, they talked a lot about the lack of power used against the strong performance these chips provide.
In fact, Apple never said the M1 Max was faster than all of Intel's processors, it just promised to deliver at least the same performance at significantly lower power levels.
Here it's more about energy efficiency than raw performance, as Srouji admitted that even the M1 Max doesn't offer any significant performance gains compared to discrete GPUs for laptops, but the point is that it performs well with 70% less power, and therefore less heat. And less noise caused by the fan.
Intel avoids this aspect of the discussion entirely. You won't find words like "energy" or "consumption" in any of its press releases, and the only mention of wattage is in minimalist P-Series and U-Series chips, designed for laptops. The thinnest and lightest, which is by no means comparable to the M1 Max processors.
A look at the specs shows that the Core i9-12900HK consumes up to 115 watts when operating at the highest power levels, which is higher than the M1 Max, which peaks at around 35 watts.
It is believed that this new Intel Core i9-19200HK processor will not be integrated into any of the laptops soon, but is almost certainly aimed at desktop computers, which peak around 200 watts, it needs a large fan for cooling.
There's also the issue of battery life and whether Intel laptops will need to control the speed when not powered by external power, as Apple explained when introducing the M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, many of Intel's laptops actually slow down when running on battery, and one The biggest benefit of Apple Silicon devices is that they operate at lower power levels while providing maximum performance whether plugged in or not and operating for several hours on the battery.
There is also the issue of graphics performance. Intel chips have never included a powerful GPU, as they prefer to leave that to other companies like Nvidia and AMD. And the latest XNUMXth-generation CPUs are no exception either, as they include basic integrated graphics that are good for everyday use, but won't provide the power needed for professional work, or even tough gaming.
While on the other hand, we find that Apple provided a powerful graphics processing unit of its own, which all reports have proven to have succeeded in challenging and resisting the most powerful gaming computers.

The Intel processor may be more powerful than Apple in terms of performance, but at the expense of power consumption
In my view, if Intel wants to compete with Apple or other processors, it must abandon the x86 architecture and switch to ARM architecture. The company may not be ready, whether design or software readiness for this architecture, but it is the solution to compete with Apple processors in terms of performance and energy consumption alike.
I think that the issue is just media information, yes I care about speed and performance, Intel, but the most important thing is power consumption and the possibility of integrating the processor into laptops, and I am excited to try the new Apple processors, thank you and may God bless you. Shall we see an article about the winners of the CES 2022 passport??

May God give you wellness
News on the sidelines of the most important paragraphs for me.
By the way, it was the first iPhone I used
iPhone XNUMX
This competition is a major reason to get the best in the future. Without competition, there would be no progress
I bought a MacBook Pro 2019 version and an i9 processor, and the purchase was an upgrade in order to help me work better, but I was surprised by the short life and the fan running for the slightest reason, and the system works throttling due to the high temperature of the processor, then when I traded in with the new device from Apple Macbook Pro M1 Pro You can't imagine the huge difference between the two processors, first the battery is more than double that of the 2019 version with the Intel i9 processor, the fan I have never heard the sound and the system is smooth and there is no kind of slowdown. The best laptop I have ever bought
I mean, would you advise anyone who has a Mac before 2019, to upgrade?
Yes, but if you have the financial ability and if you need to work, the device is excellent by the way, not just what I mentioned above, the screen is mini LED technology and the screen is close to 4K, the sound is better than the 2019 version, and the return of the MagSafe is the best thing Apple has done
Yes, I think that the new Intel processor is more powerful than the Apple processors, but it is not suitable at all for laptops, but rather for gaming computers.
Apple defined the success metric for processors with low power consumption in hertz per watt, Anaandtech test indicates that the Pro Max processor consumes 9 watts, while the iXNUMX processor that Intel boasts reaches XNUMX watts!
This includes fans, battery size, and others, which means that this processor is useful for gaming, as they do not use a laptop for the most part.
Currency mining is an invisible target for Intel, in my opinion, as it wants to market its processors with its power, but even this industry suffers from electricity consumption, so things are still impractical for Intel. Processors to assist this market of users of processors to operate their devices for purposes other than using their devices.
Apple only for you uncle
Intel will succeed as Apple has succeeded, but Apple's huge investments, effectiveness and independence of its research team to develop from companies supplying parts in its devices is what made it in the forefront to reveal its wonderful processor
and her effective invention
Power without control does not count as success or superiority, but rather it is an illusion of racing and winning fake prizes. What is the benefit of the processor with all its power if it does not provide a balanced performance in graphics and power consumption, and even reduce the noise of the fans, I think that Intel is only seeking a media profit, and the final is performance tests.

The truth is not that the Apple processor is invincible
Rather, competitors focus on one thing to compete in this processor
Apple did not mention that it has the best processor ever, so why did Intel care about releasing a super-performing processor even though everyone knows its ability
