This is refreshing to see competition actually deliver better products instead of just cutting costs.
The technical innovation has only marginal value for me and I would love the same soc on a rpi like device, for home servers. Time will tell.
Now, as a Linux guy, I’ll just wait until innovation turns commodity, having no interest in macOS whatsoever.

Apple has been killing Qualcomm and the other ARM licensees in performance for years. Apple shipped the first 64-bit ARM processor at least a year before Qualcomm could do it. It took 10-years of designing their own ARM SoCs to get to the point of being able to produce the M1. Apple showed Debian running in a VM on a prototype 6 months ago, so we know that's coming. There's a decent chance Linux running in a VM (or native Docker when that comes) will be much faster than Linux running on similarly priced Intel/AMD hardware.
