14c/20t cpu beats 8c/16t previous gen parts.
In other news water is wet lol.
I don't agree with you here. Intel on last few gens was so power hungry, that no amount of cores would manage to beat AMD (in set power budget/"""""""TDP""""")
news is that you CAN look on intel laptops as an upgrade if you have anything from 2015 or younger now.
Previously, since 6'th gen to 11'th, intel laptops gained like 10%, if you don't count short bursts, before CPU was on fire. All literal upgrades were nvidia GPU's and ssd's.
That efficient cores do wonders for power usage on low loads, this is one of best features of this release. (also 2.5G network in mainstream laptops finally)
Alder lake is the first in a while from team blue that will make sense on mobile.
I still think vcache from AMD will crush alder lake in all benchmarks. (80 days of intel being worthwhile pick left)
See you guys on 2022 CES.
