Mobile space starting to scale CPU cores? With AMD limiting to 8 cores now up to 12 cores vs Intel's 14/16 core efforts in Alder lake (ALD P 6P+8e & 8P/8E in ALD HX). Looking forward to understanding the efficiency/performance results. Apple still appears to be clear winner efficiency/performance as well as core counts with the M1 ultra (which you can't get in a laptop yet). The Ultra boast 16P/4e cores while M1 max tops out at 10 cores 8P/2e, original M1/M2 are only 4P/4e. Different strategy than Intel's where there are more e-cores than P cores.
As cores scale to higher numbers, efficiency limits both throughput as well as mobile market penetration's. Looking forward to see how both AMD and Intel mobile CPUs fair against Apples efforts.
It's a bit of a moot point to compare it with Apples numbers other than as an academic excercise. For some people they may definitely care most about efficiency and battery life, but I'd be hard pressed to believe they're the majority of users. Not even taking into account the platform shift you would have to go through, pricing is still king, and I don't see these competing head to head on price in most settings. There's also use case, you're not likely to get a MacBook to game on, which is one place you'll see these chips heavily used as Apple currently has some issues on that front. Maybe on the mobile coding, content creation, or the engineering side there will be some overlap, but that brings in platform issues, honestly it turns into a use case issue all around. Now comparing AMD and Intel's latest chips, definitely, they're serving the same needs and market, they need to be compared.
