Meh, desktop Intel/AMD chips still beat M1, and are more versatile for gaming etc.

  When it comes to single core, M1 smokes EVERYTHING. And browser performance is gated by single core performance.

    Is there some data to confirm that? Both AMD and Intel just came out with their new 5Ghz+ CPUs. I doubt that even M2 is faster.

    Not generally true. On geekbench, both Intel and AMD have offerings that outscore both M1 and M2 on single core. https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

      Likely they meant "smoked on power per watt" which is useful on a laptop, not so much on a desktop or an always-plugged in laptop.

    It did when it came out. But it got already leapfrogged. Calculating fibonacci(45) with a recursive javascript function takes 13s on my m1pro and 7s on my ryzen 7600x. Profiling our angular app in chrome the initial render takes 200ms on m1pro and 130ms on my ryzen 7600x. Apple silicon is still the master of performance per watt. But raw performance: It really was just tsmc 5nm what gave apple the edge. Apple will shine again when they sit exclusivly on tsmc 3nm, but until then, not so much.
