> ...you will still get M1 having almost 3 to 4 times advantage at performance per square mm.

400%? Do you have any sources to back up this somewhat extraordinary claim?

And 119 mm² total die area claim

0.5mm² per core on M1 vs 2.2mm² on Zen 3 sans caches

If you add caches, it gets much worse

17.5mm² vs 65mm²

And I may have had inadvertently included non-core parts into M1 calculation because of no official die floor map
