that's x2 plus. look for benchmarks of the x2 elite extreme, which currently is selling with 48gb ram for $1370: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-zenbook-a16-16-3k-oled-...

i wish that wasn't literally the only X2 EE system we could buy! (as i said a while ago in this submission, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49823752)

nothing wrong with it! looks fine! just: there should be other products with the nice core. i could really use a 10-14" tablet. i mean, after all, ROG Flow 13 with a Strix Halo was not even that late after launch! dense is doable!

yup... still laughably behind by nearly 20%. And that is behind the M5, not even the current M6

    20% slower than the M5 is still a great result. I'm still using an M1 macbook pro, and it's more than fast enough for editing film, browsing the internet and writing code.

      Especially when it is significantly faster than literally every non-Apple competitor. Including Intel and AMD's best desktop chips.

    20% behind that's actually very impressive and if it will support Linux that's more impressive.

    I think we have a different definition of what laughably means. Especially since A16 is 25% ahead of M5 in multithreaded.

    You're still trying to deliver your original point after you were told you use the wrong reference and you're not doing a good job.
