Intel with decades of experience is barely "winning" against Apple's first desktop chip.
Yeah, slight disparity there!
And that's completely discounting the whole power thing. If Apple were ever to develop a desktop chip that chucked efficiency out the window and focused on raw performance by throwing as much power and cooling as possible at the chip? Things would probably get spicy indeed. If only Apple had a desktop chassis optimized for maximizing power and cooling. Oh wait, they do with the Mac Pro - and it's the only Mac not yet migrated to Apple Silicon.
I'm sure Intel is sleeping well with their "lead" :)

That's because Apple's benchmarks are against seven year old Intel chips.
Wait'll you look at a benchmark made by a skeptic.

Sure thing. Call us when they do.

Well, no. They have real competitors, like AMD and TSMC and so on.
