In late 2023, with 14th gen, is it now oranges and Apples? But if all you have to grok is Geekbench, you might not notice. So how does new Intel or AMD kit figure into Apple's bag of tricks for total package? We should assume Apple is no longer optimizing for the accelerator features on IA. It's obvious why it's no longer supported: it's too inefficient when doing ordinary things an iPhone does on battery all day. It works and is usable, but video playback is no longer accelerated, and background tasks like media analysis (photo scanning) cause high CPU usage, fans revving, battery drains rapidly. I recently updated a 2012 Macbook Pro to Ventura. Like why did the move the NVMe controller away from the flash? What's that neural engine really doing, etc. I suggest wondering a bit more about all the support units employed by Apple, for which there are no handy benchmarks. I hope the 14th gen doesn't get yet another new socket. Are they just bumping major version numbers at this point. Now they're on a yearly generational release as AppleSi mobile can outpacing them. I had suspected that with 12th gen Intel had accelerated some gaming desktop performance juju they might have held back to counter the buzz on AppleSi. If benchmark performance is your measure, these numbers should have me scratching my head as to why the PC is no longer evolving. Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide
