Apple was recently trashed courtesy of Intel, with their new website that campaigns the "Get Real Go PC" which took jabs against the Mac M1 processor, saying that it is "not for the real-world." Intel's retaliation and revenge on Apple is a little late, especially as it remained silent during the early days of the M1's release where Intel Macs were badmouthed as well.
Intel was recently campaigning about the release of its 11th Gen Rocket Lake PCs for Laptops and portable technology, which was the direct comparison of the popular MacBook Air and MacBook Pro fitted with M1. Moreover, the Apple PCs are both using the unified, ARM-Based Silicon that it designed, essentially replacing the Intel CPUs that require separate GPUs and RAM.
The M1 Macs have replaced the Intel Macs after being with the company for a long time now, bringing new and promising benchmark scores, and increased performance, and a faster overall native-running system. While Intel powered Macs for a long time, the M1's replacement significantly changed the MacBook, with a lot of comparisons raining down on Intel Macs.
Intel 11th Gen PCs vs. Apple M1 Macs
Since Intel is not a direct manufacturer of computers and only internal hardware for these PCs, the company is campaigning different brands of laptops against the MacBook M1 from Apple. In Intel's "PC vs. Mac" analysis, a lot of features that were brought up by Mac critics have surfaced, and it does not center only on the Apple Silicon chip.
The main focus, however, is the comparison of the Intel 11th-Gen Rocket Lake CPUs against the M1 Mac, with the former saying that Apple's silicon chip was not made and cannot "translate to the real world." Moreover, MacBook's M1 features "don't stack up," saying that it is wrong to the "feel" and questionable to the users compared to Intel.
Intel's components are mostly used with Microsoft's Windows OS, and for some instances, Ubuntu's Linux. The MacBook is then compared to various laptop brands that feature touch-screen capabilities, multi-device support, flexibility, and the like. The laptop brands that were compared include Acer, MicrosoftSurface, Lenovo, ASUS, Dell, and others.
Intel hits Apple M1 Mac Where it Hurts
Despite Apple's previous comparisons were only limited to previous Intel Macs with the M1, the Santa Clara computer components giant has targeted a lot of factors against Apple, with many brands it has partnered with. According to Mac Rumors, Intel went as far as hiring actor Justin Long who was known for being an "I'm a Mac" guy before.
Intel's retaliation may have arrived more than four months later than the original release of the Mac M1 since its November event release. Moreover, it hits Apple and the Mac right where it hurts, especially as it mentions its flaws and shortcomings like the touch-screen and limited features on its release. Apple has not released any statement or retaliation against Intel.
