Intel mistakenly promotes a MacBook Pro in its latest ad blunder

Intel'south on a hot streak when it comes to seemingly hypocritical or inconsistent ads, simply it may have one-upped itself with its latest advertisement. A promoted Tweet highlighting Intel's 11th Gen chips accidentally uses an paradigm of a MacBook Pro. There are several layers to this advertizing, none of which expect good for Intel.

Intel is in an advertising state of war with Apple at the moment. The company has a serial of ads placing Intel-powered Windows 10 PCs confronting Apple's M1-powered MacBooks. Intel fifty-fifty hired Justin Long from the "I'1000 a Mac, and I'm a PC" ads to say he likes Intel-powered PCs.

Some might defend Intel by pointing out that the MacBook in the prototype is powered past an Intel processor. That would go against Intel's previous ad efforts to move abroad from MacBooks powered past Intel chips but could make sense in a way. Except for the fact that no MacBooks use Intel'south 11th Gen chips. Apple shifted to its ain silicon, and no MacBook will ever apply an 11th Gen Intel fleck as far as we know.

Look closer at the laptop he's using…. moving-picture show.twitter.com/DeI8VSh4tD

The image in the ad appears to come from Getty Images. A series of photos includes the image in the ad likewise as several like images from different angles. These help verify that the device is indeed a MacBook Pro. One prototype also shows an Apple Magic Mouse being used next to the MacBook Pro.

There's a good take a chance that this is just an innocent mistake, only it's unfortunate for Intel given its latest campaigns against MacBooks.
