Their GPU AI INT8 TOPS are almost the same 122 vs 123. So in these INT8 calculations, the performance scales accordingly. But Intel gets significantly more total TOPS when you combine CPU + NPU + GPU - ~180 TOPS. Intel missed the chance to use this in marketing and troll AMD. In my opinion, it would have been more impressive than comparing it to a mobile 4050.

This is very important for gaming with limited performance. For example, the PSSR2(which creates magic) on the PS5 Pro runs on INT8, and this console’s chip has 300 INT8  TOPS, by comparison. Adjusted for the difference in GPU performance, this is close to the 122 TOPS by GPU Panther Lake. The PS5 Pro targets 4K, while this Intel has the ability to show corresponding results at 1080p–1440p

Where’s even a single real competitor to the MacBook Neo this year? Something like an honest showdown, like the Samsung S26 Ultra vs iPhone 17 Pro Max. Everyone compares it to Windows laptops from previous years, but even older MacBook Air models, from M1 to M4, would crush them all. Is there any chance of seeing it during this memory crisis? I’m not even talking about build quality, the OS differences, and stuff like that.

The 2026 competitors to the MacBook Pro have increased in price by £700, now £500 more expensive than it. The MacBook offers twice as much SSD memory and significantly better performance, while Windows laptops haven’t increased memory and show only minor improvements up to 10% in performance.

What will happen to budget 2026 Windows laptops? In the coming years, we might never see a real competitor to the MacBook Neo.
