Re:Apple, Intel have reached preliminary chip-making deal on Saturday May 09, 2026 @12:03PM (#48076018)
ARL is the relevant comparison point. LNL was specifically designed and targeted for low power. It's not just the node but the design that is relevant. Even for single core perf, the design dictates which other parts of the chip can be turned off. LNL was optimized there at the expense of total performance. PTL has 1.7x-2x multi core performance vs LNL. These are apples and oranges.
