In a leaked roadmap of Intel’s plan to 15th generation CPUs, the company is said to be working on something big in order to beat Apple’s M1 performance.
The 15th generation of Intel CPUs is named “Arrow Lake”, and results from the combined work of TSMC’s 3nm node technology and Intel’s design. These are said to be power efficient, so aimed at mobile devices like laptops mostly.
Intel 15th Gen CPUs vs Apple M1
Ever since Apple dumped Intel for its own in-house made chips, Intel is working really hard to keep up with Apple’s competition and look better. But that didn’t happen in recent years. Based on ARM architecture, Apple-designed its CPUs to be both power efficient and high performing at the same time.
Though Intel with its latest Core i9 processor claimed to have faster performance than the Apple M1 Max, but using nearly twice as much power as the M1, Max, while on full performance. Thus, it’s not feasible for laptops, since energy efficiency is so crucial to them.
It wasn’t a rumour, it was their plan. I talked with Intel engineers working on the project and I was also handed this slide a bit before then. If they are no longer doing TSMC 3nm its a decision made since the video. pic.twitter.com/zr0FojtCv6 — Jim (@AdoredTV) February 22, 2022
