Apple is, in fact, close.
I'll be conservative on the math, and just call it 10-core M1M = 12739, so 40-core M1U = 40,000, which is almost twice as much as 25,195. It may not scale 1/1, which is why I left out the 2,739. That should even things out. But, if it does scale 1/1, then that would be 50,956 which is more than twice as fast.

So, yes, Apple is "close".

I just want to know why AMD and Intel get the performance benefit of the doubt regarding their pipelines, but Apple does not? Because what the rumored performance pipeline hints at is that AMD and Intel aren't even close.
