Sure it does

“It isn't just about performance, either. AMD says that the chip will offer “leadership efficiency for exceptional battery life,” “

AMD could have left out “Leadership efficiency” to make the media release seem more impressive. Instead they went with a used car TV ad slogan. The industry accepts, because they pretty much have to, that X86 chips can ramp up power consumption to provide multi core performance above Apple Silicon M series — knowing what they can’t do is compete on efficiency. That’s accepted reality of the two different chip technologies. But obviously what they can do is say Hyper Optimum Efficiency! The Cutting Edge Of Green Performance! (in other words, empty slogans)

As far as single and multicore scores? It’s a big claim, let’s see it actually done.

Rumor is apple is introducing a 3nm soc this year, everyone else sometime in 2025.

Rumor is apple is introducing a 3nm soc this year, everyone else sometime in 2025.

And Apple is just getting ramped up too. The M SOC is now built highly specific to suit the OS.
Apple is less quick radical change and more of a multi year plan to segue from A to B. Apple Silicon M series is only two+ years old. There’s A LOT of OS customization still to come.

Indeed. Having 3nm exclusively for two years doesn’t hurt either, except for the competition or lack there of.
