Let's base our opinions on facts. Taking the 13" Pro example the annualized growth in single thread performance from the 2008 model to the last Intel model is about 13.2%. The increase from the last Intel to the M1 model was about 41% (multi-threaded around 67% faster). Way outside the typical progress from before the M1. Now the Macs live on the trajectory of Apple's in-house silicon which will probably slow to 10-20% improvement per year but which has for the last decade sat way above the Intel trajectory for laptop performance.
