> This entire article seems to work on the premise that Arm chips and Apple silicon are the same thing. This is demonstrably not the case though. Apple silicon seemingly trounces other phone silicon. It's not like Arm chips are going to come to PC and perform like the M1, they're going to come to the PC and perform like Samsung's smart phones.

Yup, and it assumes that all x86-64 chips will behave like Intels obsolete architecture right after AMD has shown pretty impressive IPC improvements with Zen3 as well.

It's clickbait by someone who doesn't really understand the difference between an architecture and actual designs being built.

Well, it seems like he failed to follow the landscape since 2000s successfully.

Interesting, makes you wonder why he sounds like someone who doesn't really understand the difference between an architecture and actual designs being built.
