As impressive the M1 is, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I have a similar issue with Qualcomms chips, and I guess Tensor will have the same problem:
I can't actually use them.
The M1 innovation is locked to Apple. If I have a great idea for a new device that would be enabled by the M1 perf/power/spec, I'd have no chance of building it.
I hope Google continues what they did with Coral with the Tensor chip. A Raspberry Pi style device, or a compute module of this chip would be a fever dream.
The best thing we have right now is the NXP iMX8 when it comes to performance, and still the RPi when it comes to ease of use.
Maybe if have to dig into Qualcomm and check how to get hands on their 8xx chips. The fact that there are not really SBCs with them however tells me that it's not easy to get them/use them.
