alt Hacker NewsThe headline is odd to me given that the article spent so much time comparing it to M5 and still loses considerably to the M5 in single core (199 vs 130).
And it only wins in multi-core simply because it has 16-cores while the M5 base only has 10-cores.
When Apple launches the M5 Pro and/or Ultra this won't be the case.

The vast majority of the PC computing world still uses Windows, which doesn’t run on Macs, and Windows on ARM is still in its infancy. An Intel-based chip that’s on par with Apple Silicon is much desired by the marketplace.

How is Linux support on the M5? There is more to a CPU or system than a single benchmark number.

The reviewed laptop is 14" 32GB 1TB $1,299.
14-inch MacBook Pro M5 with 24GB $1,999.
Intel is -35% price, +60% cores, and most importantly given the 4x prices +33% RAM.
And you can run Windows games and Linux on it.
