The x86 macs are noticeably inferior in a lot of ways to the new Apple Silicon macs. I have both. That is as much how macOS runs on x86 versus the M1 as it is the underlying silicon. There has long been an impedance mismatch between what Intel is optimizing for and what Apple wants their silicon to be optimized for, and I think the M1 is an expression of that gap. There are things that Intel is still better at, but Apple largely doesn't care about those things.
