And I guess those interested in the higher-end if they can are waiting to see what Apple will deliver.

Ya I'm definitely replacing my 2012 non-retina mbp this year. Hopefully with a 14" macbook pro if the price is right. If not, then I'll jump on the next air refresh.
Here we are Larry. The M1 is a tenth of the speed of the best AMD processor. Your needs may vary of course.

Are you seriously going to compare the M1 with its 8 cores and 20 something watt power consumption to a 64 core threadripper that costs $5k and draws over 10X the power?
The M1 is their lowest end chip, I would expect it would be outperformed by their highest end chip as well as their other chips that are consuming more power.Here we are Larry. The M1 is a tenth of the speed of the best AMD processor. Your needs may vary of course.

I use the M1 every single day for my work and personal stuff, it hasn't struggled with a single thing I have thrown at it. I fully expect the high end offerings to easily compete at this point. The lack of heat generation from this chip (I have the Air, so no fan) is just something that AMD isn't able to compete with at this time. I hope it drives them all to make better products, that's what competition is for.
Edit: You really need to check the single core performance on the M1, it's besting the thread ripper you posted by a decent margin.
I fully expect these chips to be hard to handle (for AMD and Intel) when scaled.
Couldn't care less either way. My criticism was of your actions, not your claim. You made a claim, didn't source it, and suggested someone else to do it for you. Typically, the person making the claim provides the proof of their assertions.
All the single core tests, the m1 beats the threadripper. In any case it is nonsensical to compare a chip that can consume more than 300w all by itself and costs 5.5k just for the cpu.
Super surprising that Apple is selling more M1 Macs than Intel Macs...
One of the things that I wish Apple would spend more time talking about with their M1 Macs, both mobile and desktop, is energy use compared to the competition. I have a feeling that a lot of people think, or rather don’t bother thinking about, the energy needed to power their devices. Even those on this forum touting how AMD has more powerful chips than the M1, but says nothing about the power per watt used - because all these chips from AMD and Intel that are faster than Apple’s current chips take so much energy to run that they can’t perform without being plugged in.
Until the planet is deriving the majority of its electrical / power needs from solar, wind and hydro, it is absolutely critical that we start reducing our energy use, including with basic things like computers.

8 times as many cores and yet 10 times faster… well done America I say. Impressive either way.
Nope. Apple market share growing faster than ever year over year. So it's due to M1 chips or higher demand of home users for CoVid restrictions.
Agreed. But I was hoping for at least an M1X chip in the new iMac. Nonetheless, the M1 is just fine for consumer-level products. It'll really sing in the new iPad Pros (especially with the extra ram) and I don't hear anyone complaining about its performance in the MacBook Air and smaller MacBook Pro. In fact, I'm tempted to pick up an M1 MacBook Air myself. I just wish we could get more ram in the iMacs and the MacBook Pro. 32gb at least and maybe 64. Even if its not truly necessary for performance reasons, it would take a lot of strain off others parts of the machine - like the SSD.
Nobody is, if you're looking at single core performance .. they have outperformed many of the CPUs you listed.
Apple has a pipeline and will release higher end products on their schedule.
Edit: Attached a screenshot from your first link posted. These are the only CPUs in that list with faster single core performance, I would say Apple is doing very well with their low end and the high end should easily impress.

I think its due to the user target of entry level computers: my wife and sons are more than happy with 8GB or RAM in former Apple and Windows laptops. More than enough for office work and internet surfing and all that kind of stuff. If you're a pro and want a Mac, please buy a Pro Mac, because pro users DO NEED more than 8/16GB or RAM.
Ok, five months and ten days since announcement of the M1, not six months, not much of a difference.
Tim Cook announced the transition to Apple silicon would take two years on WWDC, on the other hand, but maybe he meant two years since the release of the first apple silicon, not since wwdc.
That's like saying the Boeing 777 is faster than a Ferrari. You asked about speed so....

Seriously, show me how you can put that processor in a laptop and get a real 8 hours of usage out of the battery. Then you can talk again...
Why so prickly? The M1 laptop is a decent little computer for light internet use and general office work.
Yep, your will always come up with a reason not to buy an Apple product. Do you even own any?
