Would you prefer pictures that are not pretty???

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was not asking for pictures at all. I smelled an Apple Fanboy and the supporting pretty pictures looked more marketing than science to me.

Given the OP claims to be a University professor, I was frankly astonished to see these pretty pictures being presented as evidence. I expected to see peer-reviewed academic papers, or at the very least, links than contain source code along with details of how the benchmarks were run, so they can be independently reviewed and verified by others.

Update 28 Nov 2022: Noticed this Quora story in my inbox today asking: Why is the M1 chip in Mac far overrated over the core i9 11th generation?

One random quote that caught my eye:

There’s a war of words going on between Apple and Intel fanboys here. The raw performance of some Intel chips exceeds the performance of the M1 and M1 Pro. On performance per watt Apple wins hands down.
