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.
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.
