Outdated. They stopped labeling the axes or for GPUs they label it some bullshit like “relative performance” so they can claim 16x performance with upscaling and slop-generated frames.
The devil’s advocate version is that nobody on Apple Silicon needs to upgrade yet so they compare to CPUs people might actually be considering upgrading from.
I still hate how deceptive it is… And it’s completely unnecessary because they’ve been achieving stellar gains almost every generation.
And those chips were badly throttled. There were videos showing you could get 20% more performance from the Intel MacBook by putting it in a puddle for better cooling.

That is such a pet peeve of mine. Charts without labeled axes might as well just be art projects.
never trust a chart you haven’t manipulated yourself
Don’t trust the ones you’ve manipulated yourself either: that’s just your own bias…
A couple of years ago I saw a thing about how Apple had announced the M3 or M4 chips were something like “16x faster!”
And yeah. They were.
Than the last-gen Intel chips they used. Three or four years before.
It’s bullshit all the way down.
