honestly X86-64 architecture that both Intel and AMD run on is outdated garbage. Apple has the best silicon right now.
Running Linux on a new Macbook would be cool, but i am not into Linux and Apple OS runs neither CAD software i use nor Games i play.
but in terms of computing power per watt Apple silicon ( and Qualcomm Snapdragon X ) beat the shit out of X86-64 regardless of model of Intel or AMD cpu.
Snapdragon X ( even in Elite spec ) is still somewhat of an entry-level CPU while Apple chips range from entry level to high-end - certainly high end by notebook standards.
I would give Snapdragon X a few more years to scale up to higher performance levels but Apple silicon is ready, at least for notebooks.
