Agreed - ARM put x86 on the clock, and Apple Silicon - the best implementation of ARM yet - is the death knell of x86. Every opinion to the contrary feels like cope, because it's coming, and fast.

A CPU is not a computer. Apple does not sell its CPUs to other manufacturers. A single vendor cannot supply solutions satisfying every person and every business requiring computers, no matter how good their tech is. Fast ARM merely keeps Apple relevant. It is not such an unfair advantage that everything else dies.
Latest Intel chips are faster than Apple Silicon in single and multi-thread benchmarks... (they use more power, but they are faster...)
These days I’ve started to care a lot more about power per watt than raw numbers. Watts = heat = fans = noise.

You realize we're commenting on a post about a fanless laptop running Intel CPU?
