I just had to jump on here to say how wrong the article is on numerous things. - Ryzen is an APU - No it's an SoC the northbridge and memory controllers are on the CPU. All Ryzen are SoC. - Ryzen also contains the memory controller on circuit. - CISC vs RISC - While CPUs are fundamentally this nature for x86(CISC) and ARM(RISC) they both carry similar on level instruction sets today a mix of complex and reduced. Why is Apple's chips better at the moment? Because they actually been throwing money into the RND of the processor. cough intel cough You actually see the same perf gains on AMD since it can now flex it's muscles. AMD laptops are getting 10+ hour battery life. If we give AMD a few more years the perf will probably escape the M1 since the chiplet design scales better.
