I agree that claims of 5x and 10x are probably exaggerated a bit. An awful lot of people were trading in a dual core i5 (Air), or a quad core i3 (mini) or i5 (MBP or Mini) for an M1. You could pay more for a six core i5 or i7 in the mini, and those models performed much better than the lower price points...
Coming from the lower end of the product line, the M1 was an incredible upgrade, and the price point really didn't change (I paid 997 for the Intel, $949 for the M1). I swapped an Intel Air for a M1 Air, and could build Go and Node apps in 25% of the time it took the Intel Air... and could do so all day on battery.
