Expected to see industry standard Photoshop benchmark results for comparison but nothing. How about a more recent CPU comparison?

Update: From extrapolation, if Photoshop performance on M1 is ~50% faster than 2019 Macbook Pro with high end i7-8557U CPU option which is equivalent to i7-8565U on this chart then it's on par with latest Intel Tiger Lake i7-1165G7.

Yes the neural network and machine learning stuff is faster than on x86 even in the first beta.
 
If I recall it’s 50% faster than a similarly specked Intel and missing a few features as well. Doesn’t really sound ready for prime time.

The missing features are not used by most folks.

You say ”not ready for prime time.” These folks say “game changer”:

Intel doesn't care. As they correctly point out, if you want a collectable "intel inside" sticker you have to buy a PC with their processor in it. Everyone loves stickers.
Oh my God, this is how Intel will keep their business alive.

You know, kind of like how some comic book issues come out with 4 different collectible covers, because they know people will buy all 4 covers.

Intel will now have different collectible stickers on PCs. Gotta get 'em all!
