And most people aren't doing anything remotely close to requiring the "latest and greatest" processor. All of these benchmarks are great for us nerds, but it's hype. A lot of Apple customers want to know they are buying "the best", even if they have no practical need; the company has always been half lifestyle brand.

While most people don't need the speed, the battery life impact is broadly very important.

There's also a cost angle; Intel laptop chips are quite expensive.
