Yes, it's a given that Apple's M-chip year-over-year performance will be spectacular, for the first half-decade at least.
And I'm sure the M1X will be exciting to watch. Looking forward to the bigger iMac, whenever it arrives.
But what I really want - when the M1X is out - is a real simulation from Ars or Anandtech of what it would take for Apple to equal the performance of the Xbox Series S and PS5 in an Apple TV. It simply has to be possible, in a much smaller, cheaper package than those two others.
I imagine that Apple can equal the Nintendo Switch with current A-chip tech right now.
Given the rate of annual improvement and the possibility of adding cores as they please, it can't be that far off.
