Intel could be interesting for the upcoming MAC Pro where heat and power efficiency is not an issue, and you don’t have to deal with software compatibility issues. It just works.
For laptops and tablets, ARM is better in all benchmarks but you got to do deal with software headaches.
There are all sorts of rumors that Apple will release one last Intel Mac Pro. However, even in a desktop and workstation heat and power efficiency of individual cores still matter as they dictate how many cores and what frequency they can be run at. You'll notice that for both Intel and AMD the base clocks are far, far lower the higher the core count. The M1 won't need to do this because each core is only using about 5-6W. This also makes it easier to calculate what the MT scores of a Max Duo (20-thread) will be and the ST benchmarks will be identical to what we have now. Basically double everything and shave a touch off for interconnect between the dies. First order approximation of course, but this would make for a very powerful desktop. In most applications that will be faster than a 24-thread ADL CPU and quieter to boot.
