The disconnect here is exactly what I'm referring to in my post. I'm at a loss for words, especially considering I've already addressed your main point. Also, what do you mean by "not just faster"? What are "equivalent parts"?

When they make the desktop pro version its going to slap. This is a 15 watt part! You may not care about efficiency so then wait and see what the desktop part looks like.

It's generally not that simple - you can't scale a 15w part to 150w and get 10x the performance, there's other factors at play.

With the m1 chip you pretty much can, the heat is low enough that you can just add more transistors to the die and give it more juice and it will fly.
It seems the days of intel are numbered, not even i9 processors can compete against it now.
The implications are huge. Think about the competitive advantage a data center that operated with no cooling requirements and much lower power requirements would be if it got the same (or better!) performance than an equivalent intel based one.
It's not just faster, its faster than equivalent parts AND way more efficient.
