Intel: Outputting Horse Hooey (Translation for Thumbtypers: Nonsense)
February 16, 2021
I read “Intel Mocks Apple’s M1 MacBooks in Grudge-Bearing Ad Campaign.” Let’s assume that the information in the Tech Radar article is spot on. I learned:
Intel is back to mocking Apple, having posted a series of tweets highlighting the shortcomings of Apple’s M1 processors.
Yep, Intel and the tweeter thing.
The article points out that Apple divorced Intel from its M1 computers. But there are visitation writes for some Apple computers I think.
The write up points out:
Intel’s tweets link to a video from YouTuber Jon Rettinger, that compare laptops equipped with Intel chips to Apple’s ?M1? Macs. “If you’re looking for a good laptop in 2021, there are many things to consider, but processor choice might be more important than you think,” a description on Rettinger’s video reads. “You might be considering Apple’s new M1-based laptops, but before you hit the buy button, let me show you what Intel’s new Evo laptops can offer you!” Intel’s aggressive tweets come just days after the company posted a series of cherry-picked benchmarks designed to provide that its 11th-generation processors are better than Apple’s ARM-based M1 chips.
I have pointed out that Intel’s Horse Ridge announcement struck me as horse feathers. If Intel is using the tweeter to output negative vibes and fiddling benchmarks, is it possible that Intel has moved from horse ridge to horse feathers?
I prefer innovation, demonstrations of technical competence
