Microsoft released a 12-second video on the official Windows YouTube channel, saying, “We’re faster than a Mac. Here’s how much faster.” The host in the short YouTube clip says, “Top Copilot+ PCs are up to 58% faster than MacBook Air with M3.” They reiterate, “That’s right, faster than a Mac.”
Redmond has been pushing its Arm-based Copilot+ PCs hard, primarily because they
Microsoft and Apple go way back and share the same target audience, which makes them consistently compete against each other. Macs have taken over the laptop market by storm, especially after the company transitioned to its custom M-series of chips, and even though Microsoft is late to the party, it has gradually improved on various fronts as well. In a new ad , Microsoft claims that "we're faster than a Mac," a claim made against Apple's more than a year-old M3 MacBook
Since Apple launched its M-series processors and recently the C1 cellular modem , the company has been slowly but surely moving toward complete chip independence. Apple is even working on its own Bluetooth and Wi-Fi solution , which is reportedly coming with new Home products and the iPhone 17 lineup in the Fall.
One obvious benefit of developing chips in-house is energy efficiency. Apple toated this with the introduction of Apple Silicon what feels like a hundred years ago, and with its latest C1 modem, which
Microsoft has on its YouTube channel that touts the speed of its top Copilot + PCs. Curiously though, these “top PCs” are compared against Apple’s consumer-targeted MacBook Air…from over a year ago.
The ongoing rivalry between Microsoft and Apple has always been good for entertaining ads, like the “ I’m a Mac/I’m a PC ” campaign.
Microsoft’s for its Copilot + PCs is similarly providing a lot of laughs, though for different reasons.

Silicon Motion has introduced its new single-chip controller for external solid-state drives that is designed to enable relatively inexpensive SSDs with a 40 Gb/s USB4 interface. The SM2324 controller can be used to build compact, low-power drives with up to 32TB capacity that offer a read throughput up to 4,000 MB/s.

小米創辦人雷軍 15 日晚間在微博表示，小米自主研發設計手機 SoC 晶片「玄戒 O1」將於 5 月下旬正式發表。這也是小米時隔 8 年重返手機主晶片設計，成為繼 Apple、Samsung、華為和 Google 後，全球第 5 家擁有自主手機 SoC 設計能力的品牌。
The name of Xiaomi’s custom SoC ‘Xring’ was dropped a month earlier , and it did not take long for the company to proceed with the official announcement, with the new chipset called the XRING 01. CEO Lei Jun took to a micro-blogging social network to issue the unveiling, but as always, the important details, such as the specifications, were left out. Thankfully, we have covered that information in depth on previous occasions, and we will revisit it right now so that you are
By now, SSD platform companies have already introduced high-end solutions for drives with a PCIe 5.0 interface, so now it is time to bring this technology to mainstream solid-state drives.
At the upcoming Computex 2025 trade show in Taipei, Silicon Motion plans to demonstrate drives based on its SM2504XT controller with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface that promise to wed leading-edge performance with mainstream price points.
