Apple as a company benefitted from moving Mac's to their custom ARM chips. But Mac users lost as well as gained. They lost the ability to native boot a X86 Windows and like back in the Power PC chip days Apple is back to a proprietary CPU that nobody else uses. Of course, many Apple fans will gladly trade those negatives for a faster and more efficient CPU. The question remains, how does Apple silicon advance in terms of performance and efficiency? Will Apple face the same limitations in ARM as any silicon? We have already seen Apple having to marry SoC's together in order to gain significant performance. The Mac Studio comes to mind as not exactly being that much better at efficiency than any Intel or AMD

Thanks to Apple for breaking up from Intel and making their own chips. They made Intel to wake up from their deep sleep and now AMD and Intel are battling against each other. Consumers will always win.

I personally chose the i5 because I want to run Linux, and native Linux support isn't there yet on M1. The M1 basically forces you to use Apple's operating systems - I don't like macOS (or Windows). Anyways, the i5 is more than powerful enough for my needs anyway. My Asus VivoBook (K413E) fully supports Kubuntu and works great for me.

Linux works just fine and the GPU driver is a couple months away, in any case, Apple specifically unlocked the bootloader and added in a boot from image mode specifically so that people can develop OSes for Apple Silicon.

I use both on a daily basis. The M1 Air works way faster! cant compare the two. The Built Quality of the Dell Vostro 3000, is so poor it's actually sad, so plastic!

I have a MacBook pro with the i5 and one with the M1 - Graphics processing with the M1 is much faster. On the other had, comparing both computers (not the chips), I like the fact that my computer with the i5 has 4 ports in which I can connect the power cord, versus only two in the computer with the M1 chip... but that's splitting hairs...

i5 over m1 because: *Can you run high end games on mac os? *Do you really need 8 cores for normal stuff? *Power consumption is only pro for m1. other than that i5 wins hands down. I would download linux if I ever needed mac environment.

that’s more on the os, not the CPU itself, the m1 is still a much more powerful CPU than the intel.

ok., Apple silicon is made only to run Mac OS. No matter how powerful that thing is, unless it can run other than Mac OS, Apple silicon is useless.

I have a work HP Probook 650 with the Intel chip and a Mac Mini M1, both with 16GB RAM. The Probook's is ok but the fan starts up as soon as I ask anything of it - t be fair it is partly down to being bloated with company antivirus, firewall, Citrix Agent and goodness knows what else. Even so, the Mac just seems to sail through everything I throw at it. In the 5 months I've owned it, I've never even heard the fan start up, even with quite heavy video encoding in Davinci Resolve or audio mixing in Logic Pro X. It feels like it could be overclocked into something quite spectacular - if only!!

Personally i would choose the i5. That is only because the M1 is only useable on a mac device, and i am not a fan of the operating system on the mac. Of course the M1 is better in all ways, but the i5 is more compatible.

M1 because of the lower power consumption and the system device it supports can run without fans and the GUI feels more responsive.
