This is your actual headline:

  "Intel just matched Apple Silicon. Seriously."
You're basing the headline on a single FP64 test for a $600 laptop. Come on man.

If your headline was being honest, it'd say "Apple A18 Pro is still 3-4x more efficient and significantly faster than Intel's low end chip in common tasks".

If this isn't an undisclosed sponsored review, then it's just misleading clickbait for Youtube views. It's clearly working for you.

You can do better.

I had three YouTube titles, this one got about 2x the watch time as the other two, so I let YT pick it.

For technical readers, I write my blog posts. I don't have to (I lose money hosting that thing and all it's mostly just free training data for Anthropic, OpenAI, et all), but I enjoy writing, so I do it anyway. If you don't like the YT game, please subscribe to the blog's RSS feed. I much prefer text over video.
