    It doesn’t need to beat. Especially not on desktop. Desktop is like Lamborghini vs Ferrari vs Porsche. They are all winners.

    The real fight is in Mobile Laptop. And that is where MeteorLake has two edges over AMD.

    Ai accelerator chip and Big.LITTLE. And one could argue that they have volume as well. The laptop manufacturers want volume and consistency.

    AMD has to compete for nodes from TSMC vs. Apple, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Intel and even AMD’s own Sony and XBOX platforms. Intel arguably has an edge on this front.

    Apple does have to use its volume from TSMC for iPad, iPhone, watches and then MacBooks.

    Intel has the luxury of supply and maybe even oversupply if they have Foundry customers lining up.

      I agree with you apart from your points about apple. The air is the only one without a fan, and in the Software Engineering jobs I’ve worked, Macbook Pros are abundant due to being more reliable than Windows/ Linux-based machines. So apple do ship their laptops at volume, more than AMD does anyway. It just depends on which career segments you are taking into account.
