As you might have noticed, Microsoft and Qualcomm are pushing hard for Windows machines running on the latter’s new Snapdragon chips. Pretty much every major laptop manufacturer just announced new Arm-based models coming this summer. And Intel, the reigning champ of PC chips, isn’t taking this news lying down. PCWorld’s Gordon Mah Ung breaks it down in our latest YouTube video.
In a back-and-forth that resembles a certain pair of pop vocalists with beef, Intel scheduled an announcement that its new Lunar Lake series of chips will beat Snapdragon X in several metrics, including the new NPU hotness, at exactly the same time as the new Arm-based laptops were announced. Gordon goes into deep detail on the differences, the similarities, and what all these new chips actually mean for you, the consumer.
