Even though Apple just released the new MacBook Air M3, Microsoft is apparently convinced its new family of Arm laptops will be even better performance.
“Microsoft is confident that a number of new ARM-based Windows laptops will outperform Apple's M3-based MacBook Air in both processor performance and AI-enabled tasks. 8221; according to a new report from The Verge.
The report explains that future Microsoft laptops will be powered by Qualcomm processors. Snapdragon X Elite processors. Even after “years of unfulfilled promises from Qualcomm,” Microsoft believes this will be the year Qualcomm surpasses Apple Silicon.
The new computers will be unveiled during an event on May 20, and The Verge reports that Microsoft's launch will include includes a number of demos showing performance compared to the MacBook Air M3.
Microsoft is so confident in these new Qualcomm chips that it plans to hold a number of demos that will show how much faster these processors will be than the MacBook Air M3 at solving CPU tasks, accelerating artificial intelligence, and even emulating applications. Microsoft claims in internal documents seen by The Verge that these new Windows AI PCs will have “faster app emulation than Rosetta 2,” the app compatibility layer that Apple uses on its Apple Silicon Macs to broadcast apps compiled for 64-bit Intel processors. for Apple's own processors.
9to5Mac’s Take
I& #8217;I'll believe it when I see it. I also wonder what compromises, if any, Microsoft and Qualcomm will have to make to achieve their goal of beating Apple Silicon. Will battery life and efficiency suffer? What about GPU performance? Lots of questions to answer.
Would you consider upgrading to a Windows PC if it offered performance equal to Apple Silicon?
