Well Intel is also claiming lower energy usage at equivalent performance (see other posts in this thread). I take that with a grain of salt, but that's the claim. If true then you could power-limit it and use less energy to do the same work as the M1 (although it's not clear even from Intel's marketing that theirs scales down quite so well as M1 so as a general purpose low power / low heat / long battery life laptop that you don't run flat out all the time it's possible it would still be better overall even if Intel's claims hold up).
