Intel compares M1 Macs to its chips, but not very honestly

In June 2020, during the WWDC conference, Apple announced that it was stopping its collaboration with Intel. And for good reason: with the new programsilicon, the company chose to develop its own processors. These, which are always manufactured by a subcontractor (TSMC),would be even more efficient if we are to believe the most recent benchmarks. But the competition doesn't see it that way...

Indeed, having lost a significant segment of its customer base, the former supplier of Mac chips is now taking the opportunity to tackle the M1.A dedicated websitewas even published to do this, where the advertisers hired nothing less than…Justin Long. If this name is not unknown to you, that's normal: it is the actor representing Apple computers in historical advertisements comparing them to those running Windows, theGet a Mac.

A better battery?

Intel notably ensures that Apple enhances the capabilities of its models, for example by ensuring that they can stay on for eighteen hours in a row. Obviously, this is far from being close to reality. In fact, these measurements are recorded with aminimum brightness, which is denounced here. Except that on closer inspection… Computer manufacturers equipped with the Microsoft operating system do the same thing!

But this is not the only thing that one could find fault with this promotional support. Because on the screen side, we also notice that it is mentioned that the Mac is incapable of taking advantage of more than one external monitor. Which is obviouslyfaux, given that Sidecar natively offers this functionality alongside the USB-C / Thunderbolt and HDMI ports found behind the Mac mini 2021.

The real difference is the OS

We can say it when we have tested the different platforms for many months: it is rather the software which really allows us to compare Apple to its competitors. So,like smartphones with the Android vs iOS duel, we noticereal changes between macOS and Windows. Particularly in terms of compatibility and synchronization with other devices.

As for the components integrated into the machines, on the other hand, everything suggests that both Redmond and Cupertino now know how to offer the most powerful that can be found.
