This really flips the argument that Mac hardware is overpriced and underpowered on its head. Now Apple computers are a premium product from a performance perspective, as well.

Does it? The article is comparing Apple products, instead of comparing an Apple product to an equivalent performer from a competitor.

It's not really Apples to Apples (even if it is in name), so to speak.

It's comparing Apple Silicon to Intel silicon (in an Apple product), which is apples to oranges to me.
