Is it me, or is the Apple Silicon marketing speak focusing almost exclusively on accelerators? Yes it does encoding and camera and ML and has a better GPU than Intel iGFX and accelerates crypto. We get it, it's a mobile SoC, that's how those work *at all*. Low power too.

But what about general purpose computing? I mean sure, it's going to beat Intel on performance/watt (anyone can do that lol) but what about peak performance? The only benchmark that stands out is "Build code in Xcode up to 2.8x faster." but how much of that is CPU vs SSD?
