It’s a lot more than “consumer electronics”. When I upgraded my i7 last year for a base model M1 chip, I found that all of my c++ code ran vastly more quickly on a machine that cost about half as much as what it replaced. What is strange is that if you look at the raw specs, it should not have been near half in execution time —- there’s definitely some fascinating things going on in that chip. The unified memory architecture of Apple Silicon is particularly convenient for anyone building stuff using both a CPU and GPU.
