Who gives a shit about the desktop 1050 Ti here? The M1 comes close but can't match a 1650 Mobile, and the 1650 mobile is both faster than a 1050 Ti and uses less power. Almost like the 1050 Ti was never the pinnacle of anything but being cheap? Then again, the 1050 Ti doesn't use 75w, either ( https://www.techpowerup.com/review/palit-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-kalmx/28.html https://www.techpowerup.com/review/palit-geforce-gtx-1050-ti... ), just like the M1's isn't "less than 5W" ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste... - more like ~10-15w for just the GPU)
The M1's good enough it doesn't need nonsensical comparisons with fake numbers to exaggerate things further. Let it be what it is, which is a good integrated GPU not that dissimilar to other recent integrated GPUs
