It’s true, Apple isn’t close, comparing Apples future products to 2-3 year old stuff from competing products, rather than their competitions future products is kind of silly, yes? Of course it will be better than old stuff! Even scaled up to a 40 core chip, it would not compete with the incoming highest end multi-socket systems from competitors. Why? The compition isn’t sitting still, Alder Lake is an example of that. CPU alone a system does not make. Those multi-socket systems also allow for more RAM, GPU power and other expansion Apple simply never offers.

Which is why I said, if you need Max OS it will be more than good enough. Not everyone needs Max OS though, so saying it’s just better than everything else isn’t a good argument.
