  • Feels like it’s the first article written by a person who actually read and comprehended the specs and not only ate up frore’s marketing materials and reported still high on emotions. Finally this cooling’s high power consumption aspect is raised in the media.

    Still, the battery draw of the active cooling chips is a concern. The Verge’s Hollister said that he saw three AirJet Minis “consume over 5 W from the MacBook’s USB-C port, and the AirJet-equipped MacBook Air (obviously) drained far faster than the power-throttled fanless one.” The AirJet Minis would only kick on when needed and can draw as little as 0.1-0.2 W when idle, Frore claims. But ultralight laptops don’t have a lot of wiggle room with battery life.

    Yes, it definitely does. There’s a big difference in cache between those and there are some other core enhancements. So 14700K being has essentially faster cores and 8+8 vs 8+12 don’t tell you the whole story.

    People would choose 13600K over 12900K even if the i9 is cheaper than the i5 due do that.
