For one, because we had evidence of this for a few years now - that Apple's Arm chips can beat Intel's chips. It was mostly ignored because "but that's just peak performance - not sustainable in a phone/tablet envelope."
Yeah, until they put the same chip, or better in a laptop envelope. Then what for Intel?
This was from 2016. People being surprised by this haven't been paying attention to where this was going:
Also, I said it many times before, Intel trying to be as misleading as possible with the performance of its chips, such as renaming Intel Atom chips to "Intel Celeron/Pentium" and renaming the much weaker Core-M/Y-Series (the same chips used in Macbook Air for the past few years) as "Core i5" is going to bite them hard in the ass, when Apple's chips are going to show that they can beat "Intel Core i5". But Intel kept making this worse with each generation.
