Most people buying a new MacBook don’t have the previous version, they’re going much further back. That’s why you see both intel and m1 comparisons.

No it isn't. It's because 1.8x faster sounds better than 12% faster.

Back when Moores las was still working they didn't release three subsequent versions of the same product in 22 months.
