People were actually expecting redesigns for these debuts?
That wasn't likely, just too many plates in the air at the same time. It's a significant architectural change and Apple don't ever give us everything in one go. They'll be able to sell us the redesigned Macbook with M1 next year as well.
 
You'd think, but on my 5,1 with Catalina there are at least three system processes that compete to get to 100%.
Your 5,1 is a decade old. They max out at 12 cores/24 threads, or less than a Ryzen 3900x (a 500 CPU).
 
M1 has seemed cool even before today but I’m gonna wait till we get real benchmarks to get truly excited over it.
