The catch is that it's a mobile processor with very limited cooling so it's only good for bursty loads. Which happens to be a good fit for the kind of stuff people do on phones.

If you're in Lightroom all day, or compiling code all day, the Intel chip is probably faster.



"Which happens to be a good fit for the kind of stuff people do on phones."

reminds that my pixel pro cpu shutsdown if I have a whatsapp video call longer than 20min in 40C.


The desktop version of this processor will be announced in a month or so.

It will have proper cooling and a higher TDP.

Will be interesting to compare it for sure!


Is that a real catch, though? The intel chip requires good cooling too to perform well, doesn't it?

Maybe is the Apple's chip more limited in multithread tasks vs Intel's one


> Apple's chip more limited in multithread tasks

It would several times slower, yes
