This is just as confusing as trying to figure out what graphics card to get for a computer. With all the brands using different naming and number conventions, it's hard to understand.
Cool so we have even more SKUs and consumers are gonna get more confused. They don’t even know the difference between generational models they just think “oh that i7 that’s the fastest one” and don’t know that it’s not the newest model.
Have not used an intel CPU since 4th gen. That was the last gaming PC I built and then my work got me started using macs. I don’t know if I could go back from the efficiency of the apple M line chips in a laptop form factor. I think it’ll be interesting to see if the rebrand does anything meaningful in the fight between their Core series and AMDs ryzen🤷🏻♂️
I have 2 systems and both are AMD machines with impressive performance per watt (obviously not as good as Apple's M series). Intel has a long way to go before they can be a genuine alternative.
I'm not an apple fan at all, but switched to a pro book for the M2s. The difference in power consumption and battery life is just on a whole other level from everything else out there.
