Don’t really understand this argument - Apple has had 13 years to optimise Mac OS for Intel and only a couple of years for M1 / can’t see how a video encoding accelerator affects responsiveness.

Apple has been optimizing both sides (hard and soft)ware for iOS for a lot longer. They’ve learned.

That’s a fair point - I think that it works both ways too - they know a lot about optimising CPU design for iOS / MacOS especially in low power environments.
