Isn’t the M1 a significant innovation?

Let's wait a couple of years before making that call. It could be, it could be a short-lived edge.

No edge in technology lasts forever, and once a new design is out it's much easier for others to copy. The fact is M1 was a nasty shock to their competition and was the biggest single advance in desktop/laptop CPU performance and power efficiency in a long time. If that doesn't count as innovative, I suspect there's some shifting around of goal posts happening.
