## What Jamie wrote

Impressive performance information on the Apple M1, **not from Apple**, but from an emulator writer in gaming. 

> The efficiency is almost literally off the chart. Compared to an absolute monstrosity of a Desktop PC, it uses less than 1/10th of the energy while providing ~65% of the performance. And the poor Intel MacBook Pro just can't compare.

The efficiency of the M1 continues to amaze me. I’m now using a MacBook Pro M1 as my everyday machine and it is cool, the battery goes on and on, and it is fast as can be. 

I don't think people yet realize how big of a deal this new generation of Apple Silicon is. And for the life of me I cannot figure out how Intel is going to compete, or even keep up.
