Apple sell those cpu because they are "buying" users for their locked ecosystem witch will pay "lifetime" subscription in their services , probably in Future enriched with apple search and apple ads.. 1984 .. but it started with a good CPU.. Amazon is settling.. look how good is our cpu and how cheap.. while they are probably have 0 margin on those and 50% on competition .. look the argument for alternatives in CPU space is not bad.. it's been just the examples that you have chosen that are imo Pricewise and performancewise a CPU can look better if the seller have secondary interest to sell those to you that are not monetary.. (take that 3nm tr7990wx at 300$.. in a locked system that we sell you for 1500$, we will take lifetime 30% cut from what you buy with it anyway ;) if you want 2tb ssd it's another 2k.. but hey the CPU is just 300$ ... ) I will judge m1 only if it will be compatible with Linux and sold separately from the apple (eco)system Talking about architecture arm did a good job.. but under Nvidia.. I'm not so faithful for the future..
