It’s often faster. Usecases vary and for a lot of workflows, there’s nothing as fast as Apple Silicon at the consumer level.
Basically few to non-existent cases where M2 is faster than either Intel or AMD's best. On power consumption however it's a total win for Apple. But performance... No. Not in any way.
Article is about laptop cpus.
M2 is the budget entry chip. M2 Pro/Max is a big jump up.
there's basically nothing out there for laptops that comes close to the M2 Pro.
the only benefit Intel/AMD have right now is access to external and better graphics chips made by companies that aren't Intel.
desktops / servers are a different matter, but again, the article is talking about laptops.
The Intel Core i9-13980HX laptop CPU is between 20% and 100% faster than the M2 Max on nearly every benchmark.
