And id expect double that on the 16” MBP when they do update it next year. With the extra PCI-E lanes to support 64gb of ram and more i/o. By then the platform will be much more mature too.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Silicon M1 Chip in MacBook Air Outperforms High-End 16-Inch MacBook Pro
- Thread starter MacRumors

Apple’s chip has been faster than the mid/high end 15-inch MBP’s Intel CPU for a year or two, and miles ahead of any CPU for Android phones.
Excellent work Apple, let's see how daily usage turns.
Imagine how powerful the M chips will be three years from now.
Looking at my MBP 213 15”.....please die please die.....
Interesting, fastest Mac in single thread (1250); Intel Mac Pro has a 8000 score in multi thread(!)

they're typing something about power adapters or web cameras.
I thought I read somewhere earlier today on MR that the L2 was 8 MB.
OR maybe that was what was speculated by Anandtech (i.e., the article here on their analysis), I don't remember exactly.
Cleary the clock rate & the Enclosure make a BIG impact !

I had mixed thoughts after yesterday's Apple event but this is incredible. Can't wait for future iterations of Apple Silicon that match or surpass what the current/older Macs with Intel CPUs can do (the M1 is limited to 16GB of RAM, all of the new Apple Silicon Macs only have two USB-C ports, et cetera) so that they eventually surpass them in each and every way.
So this essentially confirms that the M1 is the SAME chip across all 3 devices including clock speeds. The difference between the Pro/mini and Air will then just be sustained workload speeds due to active cooling. NICE!
Same. And I don't normally do this sort of thing.
Wait a minute. The Mac Mini has a fan and yet its reported frequency is LOWER than the MacBook Air, which doesn't have a fan?!??!?
This doesn't make any sense! Can someone clarify?

Enough data now for me to make decision, time to pull my wallet out for that mbp 13 M1... 
This is quite incredible.. I was thinking to myself I would hold off on purchasing the first 16" MBP with Apple Silicon but if the M1 is already beating it imagine what the M1Y or M2 or whatever they call the chip that ends up in the refreshed 16" can deliver..
Apple showed what the L1/L2/L3 caches were in the keynote

After reading some popular PC forums I'd say the latter.
Two questions left:
Windows for Mac wherefore art thou?
Just how hard will Apple go after multi-core performance in software (OS 11)?

Agree... Many in the PC world just do not understand the power of the A14 design. They think the M1 is still a "mobile" CPU and thereby couldn't possibly be anywhere close to their 125watt TDP desktop chips.
