What's impressive is Apple's first "high-end" custom silicon is about equal performance to an AMD Ryzen 7 5600X. That's not bad! However the M1 is only about 20-25% of the power consumption of the Ryzen 7 5600X. That's crazy! It'll be very interesting to see what the M3 or M4 look like (especially in X or other higher end variants) several years from now. We already have tastes of it from Marvell, Altera, Amazon and others, though it looks as if we will see ARM make huge headway in the data center (it already is) and even on desktops before 2025.
