If we're comparing the M1 to x86, though, then all the prefetching and other memory shenanigans are on the CPU die. The A1 had an advantage over the SoCs used in Android phones here, but the M1 doesn't have an advantage over Intel and AMD CPUs.

In the case of the memory prefetcher story, this was about other ARM CPUs, which the M1 and A-series have left completely in the dust some years ago.
