Just lurking here and not intending to get all “Battlefronty” but I think what some of the folks here are pointing out wrt: M series outclassing Intel is the fact that folks are even having this conversation comparing Apple silicon to any of the incumbents.
To be clear, Intel and the others have been iterating for decades. Apple is the relative newcomer here, and with each iteration Apple is closing the gap quickly. Apple already wins big on efficiency and to my mind, that’s the real story here —delivering comparable real-world speed at much lower power. That’s the message.
The M series is punching well above its weight class. Apple’s efficiency edge (fewer cores matching Intel’s total output). It’s like Intel is hauling it flat out down the Mulsanne Straight redlining it, sucking down the fuel and Apple is half-throttle sipping slowly and basically “right there”. If this is 24 hours at Le Mans, Apple takes the checkered here. (I know, I know… car analogies.)
