Will PS/XBX follow Nintendo's footsteps?

At bolded: I was purely talking about CPU performance, since that is what the initial question was about. I know the GPU is much stronger than the one in the 4800U. But for the CPU, if we really compare core vs core and not core vs thread, then the M1 loses the CPU benchmarks despite being more modern.

At italic: Like I said, the new AMcBook Air has an even stronger PSU than the old one, so much smaller power level doesn't exactly sounds true. More likely is that due to the size of the SoC, it's much easier to cool. The old MacBook Air had a 45W rated cable, the new one is rated 61W, so the whole SoC definitely can pull more power if needed.

And if you compare thread to thread, who wins?

How much bending did that blogger have to do to get the M1 to lose to Intel? Your comparison methods are laughably faulty, and that's fine since you're not running a tech blog... that blogger, however... just lol. 

Also, are we really dismissing the M1 performance lead because Apple did what Intel couldn't succeed in doing for years? Apple is not gonna sit idly waiting for Intel gets it act together, if Intel's broken promises are anything to go by, I expect the performance to widen, not shrink.  

For those who remain "unimpressed", tough crowd, aren't you?

I can't wait to see what the properly refreshed Macbooks have to offer, personally. I think I am soon going to own a Macbook, 2020 is indeed an odd year. Too bad I don't have an iPhone anymore, makes my S10+ purchase an even bigger disappointment. 

Reminds me when ryzen first started to compete and reviewers where comparing same core count chips. Yea, intel still beat them slightly but they forgot to mention the same core count cost twice as much from intel. We are seeing the same shit right now. Sure intel is hot garbage now so beating them is no accomplishment. When compared to AMD we re seeing an over a grand machine competing with mid range. A mid range that day viewed a year ago and is a whole node behind. So no, apples M1 is still not impressing me.
