i7-6700k is 6 years old. The current equivalent i7 (i7-11700k) is almost 2x as fast when using all cores.

If the latest gen, top cpu is “almost 2x as fast” it will still lose to the parent’s “literally 2 times faster” M1. While using 4x more power.

Right but GP's main points were:
- noticeable faster in just everything
- literally 2 times faster [compiling code]
Neither of these statements is true when comparing against the latest generation, which is the relevant comparison.
The power thing is true, but irrelevant to GP's point and my objection to it.
I was comparing 2 computers I have (read the comment I replied to). But if you are saying that passively cooled Apple notebook should be compared to last-gen Intel desktop CPU with powerful cooler - Apple enginers would be honored to read it ;)
