The comparisons are actually exciting me more than the M3 itself. Yay, more choice! However I guess you can crank any core up to any performance if you're will

The comparisons are actually exciting me more than the M3 itself. Yay, more choice! However I guess you can crank any core up to any performance if you're willing to throw power at it - performance/watt seems to be the by far most interesting metric. I suppose it's certain that the i9 can't keep up at that - but maybe the Qualcomm chip can? If it's 30% or so worse it would actually still be quite good ...
