> the fact that these devices now run close to current gen discrete GPUs is a big jump. The 1050 Ti (4 years old) has about the same performance as a GTX 680. A card from 2012. This comparison makes absolutely no sense. You'd want to compare the M1 against either the current generation integrated, such as the Vega 8 or 11 in the Ryzen 4xxx mobile CPUs or the Intel Xe-LP in the current tiger lake CPUs, or you'd want to compare it against last gen integrated. Comparing it against a discreet card from 4 years ago with the performance of a card from 8 years ago is just... weird?
