Modern CPUs are more than quick enough for my purposes. If you're compiling huge amounts of C/C++/Rust, I see why a powerful CPU might be nice -- still, at my job we have a lot of CI pipelines that just run in the cloud, sidestepping the issue completely.
For normal text editing, shell use, web browsing, IDEs, etc. my i7 is barely even challenged. And any game that can run with my Quadro GPU won't use more cycles than my CPUs got in it.
I do agree the battery life of M1 is quite nice though. I basically keep my laptop plugged in all day so it's not really an issue for me.
