>a 12th Gen i3 is not massively far from an M1

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/4746vs4754vs4765vs4104/...

1215U (accounting for the overwhelming majority of "12th gen i3" laptops) is about 75% of the performance of the lowest-tier M1, so I suppose that's in the ballpark.

Performance-per-watt is still night and day, though, with both i3 laptop chips ranging from 15W base to 55W turbo, and M1 ranging from 7W to <30W.

75% of an M1 is pretty damn good as when the M1 first came out it was the fastest laptop single core performance in the world.
