Is it, though? Its single-core score is roughly 2x that of the top CPU Apple put in the mid-2012 macbook pro. 2x after 10 years doesn't seem that great to me.

Maybe that's more of an indictment against intel

The single-core performance of Intel CPUs has only increased by about 10% per generation, so that checks out.

Single core performance has been stagnant for a decade from all manufacturers.

Kids these days don't know the days when 2x was within realms of intentional product segmentation and at most 18 months worth of progress.
