AMD is already serving that segment, and quite successfully, too. I would assume Panther Lake is an improvement for Intel, most notably in the I/O department, but is it really "on par" even with the recent Ryzen variants, let alone Apple Silicon?
You don't get 22 hours of battery life out of a Ryzen laptop.
You don't get 22 hours of battery life out of any laptop. Maybe when it sits idle, but we usually turn our laptops on to do something.
People are getting 15 hours of life doing real work on Linux on Lunar Lake laptops, and Panther Lake is supposed to be better.
Obviously if you're gaming you get less, but the 22 hours that Intel claims and the 22 hours that Apple claims should be roughly comparable.
