Undoubtedly a solid chip, specially for its performance per watt, but Intel's new i7-1280P performed better in comparison[1]. It'll be interesting in the coming months to see fresher benchmarks of M2 vs Intel 12th-gen vs AMD Ryzen.

That's an 6p/8e core machine vs. a 4p/4e core machine, not exactly a fair comparison. A better comparison would be against an M1 Pro or Max, with 8p/2e cores.

Some quick Googling shows that the M1 Pro/Max outperforms that Intel part by some margin.

All while my M1 Pro is in the laptop with which I have yet to experience a sound of fans running.

And I'm skeptical that the Intel can be 48% faster as this chart implies: https://i.imgur.com/uelXzJ7.png

XPS13 weight is 1.23kg that is almost identical to MacBook Air , and size is similar, so still valid comparison.

In a laptop that, according to the article, is louder, hotter, and with a much shorter battery life.
