Intel launches the Wildcat Lake Core 300 chip, aimed at budget laptops to rival Apple's $599 MacBook Neo.
Tweaktown reports early PassMark benchmarks showing the chip's multi-threaded score of 15222, a 21% lead over the A18 Pro in the MacBook Neo. Its single-threaded score of 4047 matches the A18 Pro's 4066, with boosts to 4.6 GHz on P-cores.
Apple's MacBook Neo surprised with its price/performance balance, battery life, hardware quality and build, lacking a Windows equivalent until now.
Macworld's Roman Loyola notes that competing with the Neo requires more than chip performance, including battery life matching and build quality at that price point under Windows.
