![]() ![]() Rumors have popped up stating that Apple could continue to offer Intel processors in a Mac Pro to accommodate those power users who rely on Intel-native software, so there’s some relevance there. In the end, though, comparing Alder Lake and the M1 ends up being a simple academic exercise that doesn’t amount to much. Apple’s 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro costs half as much and performs nearly as well. For another, the laptop tested costs $3,999 and represents the absolute top-of-the-line Intel has to offer in a laptop. For one, there are power consumption concerns and battery life. PC fans will surely take these first round of results and use them to gloat and that’s fine. $1,599.00 at Amazon A win for Intel with an asterisk Granted, the MSI GE76 Raider won’t venture too far from a power outlet and has completely different demands than the MacBook Pro, but Apple has managed to deliver speeds that are nearly as impressive as Intel’s best without sacrificing efficiency. That’s a huge difference, especially on a laptop. In PCWorld’s testing, the MSI GE76 Raider got 6 hours of offline video playback, a far cry from the MacBook Pro’s 17 hours. We haven’t tested the power draw of the M1 Pro/Max ourselves, but AnandTech used Cinebench R23 and found that the M1 Max’s power draw was 39.7 watts versus over 100 for the 11th-gen MSI GE76 Raider. During the Cinebench R23 multi-core test, the Alder Lake laptop was consistently in the 100-watt range, with spikes between 130 and 140 watts. PCWorld ran a couple of tests to gauge the power draw of the Alder Lake-equipped laptop. ![]() $1,999.00 at Amazon | $2099.00 at Adorama | Not Available at Best Buy What about power efficiency? ![]()
