Pretty sure a intel igpu in haswell is better than apple anything cpu. because you don't have to forced into a trash upgrade path and software set. :/ rant
intel is easily the superior option here but not for what you think. It has av1 encoding, and is lower power. we are going to get some meteor lake soldered on board options for mini pc's and mini nas systems. 5W idle 20~25w boxes that can route 10g/run the nas/run pfsense/encode av1 all in one box.
which just shows the scheduler is wrong. which people who cared to put the effort in already did manually with lasso. the only missing piece is random main kernel threads jumping on to p cores. AMD scheduler isn't perfect either. And both companies are going big/little. so plenty of room to keep improving.
Well see how it rolls later. Mac chips look strong, but they still can't do 90% of the things I need from a chip. so It could be 9000000000000000000000000000000 score and still be useless.
sounds like a good plan, EU forcing apple to use usb c, lets all move to a single cable. sucks having 20 cables at your desk to see what to plug in.
not that i care if its thunderbolt or not :/
