Intel's Alder Lake chips are very powerful, and that's good for the entire industry
It’s always easy to have the best chip on paper benchmarks when it hasn’t shipped yet.
considering the amount of digital contorsions required to support the antiquated x86 mode, I doubt very much they can make a processor that gets anywhere near M1Max performance. I guess we’ll see when they ship, but I doubt very much I’ll be using an Intel processor again in the foreseeable future. -

Netgear has a new $1,500 Wi-Fi 6e mesh router
I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with three different models of Linksys routers, including the expensive tri band Velop and the latest 6e Nighthawk (shaped like a Star Wars imperial shuttle). They work great… Until for some reason they don’t. And Linksys plays games with support. Netgear? Same thing. Not to mention their horrible flaky software. TPLink: haven’t use the mesh but their wifi6 Archer router is awful (lousy software, painful configuration)
in another house I ended up getting the Amazon Eero Pro. It’s been working absolutely flawlessly for the past year, a breeze to configure, and it’s ridiculously smart (I’m testing speeds of minimum 150mbps throughout my house, but in most areas more than 450mbps).
Of all the brands I’ve used before, the Eero is ahead by a mile in terms of performance, ease of configuration, capabilities and reliability.
To be fair I never tried the Ubiqiti router which does have great reviews, so I can’t compare. But you can definitely count me in as a very happy eero 6 pro customer and until I see better it’s the one I recommend.
