For years now, Intel's only way to get more performance out of their functional process nodes has been to push power and heat higher.
Now, the Tiger Lake performance per watt story just isn't that impressive compared to the competition.
>Here we present the 15W vs 28W configuration figures for the single-threaded workloads, which do see a jump in performance by going to the higher TDP configuration, meaning [Tiger Lake] is thermally constrained at 15W even in [single threaded] workloads.
Comparing it against Apple’s A13, things aren’t looking so rosy as the Intel CPU barely outmatches it even though it uses several times more power, which doesn’t bode well for Intel once Apple releases its “Apple Silicon” Macbooks.
