I guess I’m confused about who this article is for. Graviton AFAIK is available for cloud compute on AWS. M1 MacBook Pro is a developer’s machine. There are different aspects of performance that’s important depending on who is inquiring. 1) AWS cares about performance/watt (operating expenses) and performance/$ (capital expense) 2) As a user, if I provision an EC2 instance, I have no interest in hardware costs or power consumption. I just care about performance/$ (EC2 instance pricing). So raw performance is basically moot point here. There are some non-linear concerns about scaling (Amdahl’s law), but generally, compute boils down to even more abstracted picture something like: requests/$, etc. that’s specific to your workload and company.
