M1 performance won't be more than you need for long. When the dev community finishes transitioning to M1/2, that will be the performance baseline for lazy websites and electron apps. Intel laptops will have their CPUs pegged to 100% constantly when running more than one tab in Chrome. We're already seeing this at my company. Intel performance regressions are discovered the last minute before release, because everyone is using M1. And the solution is usually just to turn off the offending feature for Intel Macs. It's legacy.
