Keep in mind only four of those cores on the M1 mac are performance cores. A M1 Mac with 8 performance cores would blow that thing out of the water based on how close they already are.

It would consume more power too.

It's remarkable that AMD can even compete despite not having access to 5nm like the M1 does.

I'm very excited for the near future of 5nm AMD laptops. Even more for 3nm.

It seems incredibly likely that such a product would be reserved for the highest end models for example the MacBook Pro and Mac Pro starting at 2400 and 6k respectively and would be properly compared to high end laptops that like the example don't exist yet.

It's nice to see the CPU space heating up in recent years.
