Apple has always been selective as to how they compare their newest chips. You’ve always been able to get the equivalent performance for about half to a third of the price, or between 2 and 10 times the performance for the same price, depending on the type of computationally intensive task.
And by performance, I don’t mean single thread, as that hasn’t been a limiting factor for quite som time.
Don’t get me wrong. For traveling, and doing software development, it’s the only manufacturer that has managed to make laptops that need to be connected to an outlet within an hour or two. I don’t know any better, at least.
