The article didn’t even make it a day before Apple announced the M3 CPUs which will probably dunk on this in both performance and efficiency.
The M2 CPU was kind of a disappointment since it was mostly just an overclocked M1 with a few more GPU cores, but the same bad architecture. The M3 should actually be a newer architecture and fix the M2s PPW regression.
Apple says the M3 is 50% more efficient than the M1, and since it's on a 3nm process it's likely at least competitive, and probably more efficient than the Snapdragon at 4nm.
