>Even the E-cores draw more power than the M1/M2 cores. To be clear, this is also a product of the fabrication process and node size. Intel 12/13th gen are on Intel 7[1] - which is fairly old at this point, while M1s are fabricated on 5mm process[2]. Smaller lithography size isn't the whole story, but it certainly does make a difference

To be fair: Intel 10 years ago would always lean on its manufacturing advantage for why its chips were better than everyone else's.

Today, TSMC has taken the lead, and Apple pays the big bucks to be a prioritized customer above all others.
