At least Apple really delivered with the Ax and Mx chips. Let's see if that pans out here as well.

It's google, so probably not. Their claims should always be taken with a grain of salt. They went with their own stuff route for the SOC on their Google Pixel phone lines and those SOC are always much worse than the competition and are the main reason why those phones have such terrible battery life compared to Qualcomm powered phones.

At least with Apple's Bezos charts usually there's fineprint that'll tell you which 3 year old pc laptop they're comparing it to.

I remember when Apple marketed swift as being xx times faster!

In fine print, compared to python, lul.

This didn't happen

As a Python developer, I am happy that Apple mentions Python and acknowledge its existence.

Claim: "In fine print, compared to python,"

Reality: In bold call out:

Up to 2.6X faster than Objective-C

Not sure what your point is but Apple also claims up to 8.4x faster than Python:

My point is we shifted from "compared it to Python in fine print" to "compared it to Objective-C and Python in bold focused callout". People are jaded, we can argue that's actually the same thing, that's fine, but it is a very different situation.
