Intel's "better chip" had better be faster and more power efficient. That's more or less the whole point of the M1--fast enough for normal use, and low power use so batteries last longer. Intel isn't exactly well known for power efficiency.
I assume this is CEO-speak to Intel shareholders to keep them from getting skittish.
What Intel should be worried about is whether Apple is hiring some top tier server systems designers. If Apple is able to leverage their M1 work into server systems that are fast and power efficient, they can hollow out Intel's profitable server business.
