Understand where you're coming from but there also seems to be a weird section of the audience that, for whatever reason, doesn't like to compare apples to apples.

I wouldn't expect large numbers of benchmarks of intels new mobile chip against AMDs fastest desktop chip so I don't know why people find it unusual in this particular circumstance.

I’m usually already committed to macOS and want to know if the upgrade is “worth it”. But, for this, I’m more interested in perceived performance than real performance and, generally, the non-M1 post-2015 or so MacBooks feel slower than my older MacBooks ever did.
