Even a single node difference can easily come close to a 25% increase in performance: "N5 technology provides about 20% faster speed than N7 technology or about 40% power reduction." [1] Real world performance pretty much always lines up with these estimates. It's the main reason why we have exponential growth in computing power in the first place. It would be a more fair comparison to compare the M1 to AMD's ZEN 4, which should be coming out next quarter.
