>I think one problem for CPUs specifically is that people plainly just don't care as much about speed anymore. Modern processors are extremely fast.
This is just not true. I do NOT have an M1 yet. I have a group of co-workers that do. This group is normally what I would call the critics that are never happy with anything. With out fail each one of them has raved about how fast and responsive their M1s are. They say it nothing like anything else and is a game changer. They also rave about the fact that they can go a day without needing to find a wall socket. This is a group of devs and hardcore networking people.
From my view, no matter how powerful of an Intel system I have running Windows, macOS or Linux, the desktop UI are not up to the speed of an iPad. Getting that in a laptop...that would be great and I plan to try it out in the form of an M1 Air.
