Intel just matched Apple Silicon. Seriously.

Intel’s upped their efficiency game in a big way. The XPS 13 surprised me.

Mentioned in this video:

– Dell XPS 13: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-13-laptop/spd/xps13dx13260laptop
– MacBook Neo: https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/
– My benchmark data for the XPS 13: https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/111
– My benchmark data for the MacBook Neo: https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/102

The XPS 13 shown in this video was provided on temporary loan from Dell. I am returning the laptop to Dell, and they had no control over the content of this video.
