Apple's M-series, in particular their humongous reorder buffer, is really cool, but IBM's Telum processor with its revolutionary distributed virtual cache architecture and on-chip inference accelerator (with a latency so low it allows AI-fraud detection during transactions) and 5+ GHz base clock, is on a different league, along with all the other little nice things, such as the multiple smaller computers that allow the CPUs to run user code and as little as possible of everything else.

They are, of course, built for different uses.
