The SSDs are faster, but only by ~20%: https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/BlackMagic...

From the TechCrunch review, which is pretty breathless but also contains a lot of good data: https://techcrunch.com/2020/11/17/yeah-apples-m1-macbook-pro...

Sequential performance is only one facet of overall SSD performance. Some older Apple SSDs weren't the greatest at random reads and writes - it's possible these new ones are quite a bit faster in that department, FWIW.
