I think what’s so impressive about M1 though is the increase in (at least perceived) single threaded performance. We know core counts scale and that’s been the industry focus for some time. So yeah I am not expecting a huge perceived speed up from M1x/M2...but hey M1 feels nearly instantaneous I’m not really sure how big a difference a faster cpu would actually have.


Apple's been seeing a yearly 20% performance boost on it's big CPU cores for many years now.

So while the M1x is using the same CPU and GPU cores as the M1, the M2 will get an additional performance boost from having a newer generation of core designs.
