I'm factoring in performance. The 1065G7 has a similar power profile to the M1 but it's much slower - both perceptually and in benchmarks. I like Passmark as a quick and dirty comparison tool, and it has the M1 at 1.7x the 1065G7, putting it in the realm of (but faster than!) the i9 Macbook Pros. 4x runtime was off the top of my head and it looks like that was an overestimate, but it's still over 2x. Also I've used those things and there's no way they get 11 hours. You're right about the process node. AMD's new laptop chips are on 7nm and they compare more favorably than Intel's. x86 isn't dead yet, but the trend is still not in its favor: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16226/perf-trajectory.png https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16226/perf-trajectory.png 1065G7: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1065G7+%40+1.30GHz&id=3466 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1065G...
