There is no Macbook with AMD processor, I think that's why it is compared to Intel, that plus Intel being the historic leader

There is no Macbook with AMD processor because Apple didn't want to make it.

Intel is not the leader for 5+ years now.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. In the notebook space they've been the industry leader for less than 12 months.

This is not the case. The very first Zen laptop parts were far ahead of Intel.

There's plenty of non-Macbooks with AMD processors which are competitive to it.

Comparing to Intel is like comparing to PPC MacBooks - meaningless.

At this point, isn't comparing it to any non-Mac meaningless?

The only way to get an M1 is to buy a Mac anyways.

Unless/until you see a mass exodus of people from x86 based OSes the comparisons don't matter.

Sure, new Macs will be super fast, and that in itself will result in some conversions, but there are plenty of other factors that would keep people from switching to Mac.

At the moment you can buy intel and apple macbooks. They run the same system etc so that's how you can compare the two machines.
