Feasibility Concerns: The skepticism regarding Gelsinger’s claims arises from the timeline. Intel has been trailing Apple for years, only introducing advanced packaging in 2023, after Apple had already utilized it. The concept of performance and efficiency cores is also a recent focus for Intel, while Apple has successfully employed this approach for some time.
Competing with Apple: While Intel possesses the capability to incorporate advanced technologies like AI into its processors for improved performance and efficiency, achieving such a significant leap in a short timeframe is unlikely. Intel’s Meteor Lake, while advanced, still lags behind Apple’s best chips, and Apple is likely preparing its M3 series, which is expected to be a formidable competitor.
