> Quick note: AMD's 5nm offerings will not be using a big.LITTLE configuration, so direct comparison with the M1 would probably not be very accurate for the purposes of comparing power consumption. Ok, but the second we start saying Intel or AMD needs to make architectural changes to match M1 performance/power consumption, that in and of itself is a refutation of the GP's argument that the only reason M1 looks good is the manufacturing node. We're admitting that there's an architectural component to its results.
