Which apple chips are faster than AMD or Intel's best. M2? Because it's not faster. More efficient sure. Not faster.
One sec, gonna stick an 1650 Watt PSU in my backpack.
Please. You can get 12 and 13 series chips running at 400w.
But at those power consumptions series 12/13 aren’t significantly better than an M2…
Obviously this is an exaggeration but the point is the M1/M2 outperform i9s on battery power and honestly that’s the future of computing.

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.
