Neither of those have comparable perf

replyThey do, please look up reviews of Panther Lake 338H/358H. Example: Lenovo Thinkpad X9 15p Aura Edition
replyI did. I am seeing single core geekbench scores of 2700 compared to my MacBook Air at 3500. This, for a laptop that is thicker and heavier than my air.
replywhy tack on the goalpost moving? And geekbench single core isn't the only measure of performance.
replyin my original post, i said "perf", i am not sure what you imagined, but i am not moving anything, geekbench single core score is a perfectly reasonable thing to measure under the name "perf"
replyIn usual developer type tasks, among my friend group what I hear is that panther lake laptops are competitive with M4 laptops. But, M4s do that with a 55Wh battery, whereas most panther lake laptops come with a 70Wh battery. So if you're discussing chip performance per watt then it's probably an edge to apple silicon.
reply72.4 Wh is the size of the M4 MacBook Pro battery, about the same size as the Framework 13 Pro.
replyIntel and now Qualcomm are really not far off on performance per watt. Mostly Apple maintains an advantage on single core performance.
The Panther Lake integrated GPU in the X7/X9 SKI is actually faster than the one you get in the base M5.
You're right. I think I remember those numbers from an Air vs 3xxH comparison.
replyCompetition is a beautiful thing.
