I know it's not fair but that wasn't my point. My goal was to show how much or how little a real world workload improved over the years. My assessment is that I'm not going out to buy a M1 laptop now even if there were ones not from Apple or a new Intel/AMD. I'll still wait until my current one starts dying or I have to do something it can't do. I replaced the previous one from 2006 when I started to work with VMs and containers and I needed more than 4 GB RAM. The new laptop (my current one) was 3 times faster on the same workloads and it had a HDD at the time.

I interpreted what you said as evidence for how fast the M1 is. > My goal was to show how much or how little a real world workload improved over the years. Agreed. I am only now looking a desktop replacement for my 2011 first-gen i7, and the only reason is because I recently started doing Java and C# development on my personal machines, and the IDEs + compilation times are terrible. Also, trying to run VS under Linux on this machine is a total waste of time. If it weren't for the Java and C# requirement I wouldn't even bother.
