The M1 launches apps faster (because the SSD is faster), it sorts them faster (because the processor is faster), and it tucks them away and recovers them faster (because the RAM is not only faster, but far more efficient). The entire SOC is ridiculously quick.
It's processing, but it's an artificial test. It's impressive, but it's not actually something people do.
