The m1 had the "luxury" of being able to be made from the ground up relatively speaking using modern knowledge. If you consider the case of Intel/and and x86 imagine a building with one story and every year they had to add a story to it. That iterative improvement added some cruft and they also didn't have the option to rebuild from scratch. Apple has great minds working on the m1 and alot of resources and I'm sure they've made unique accomplishments but the biggest thing is that I think.
