    Context of that generational leap makes it far less impressive, and its clear that Apple wont be able to pull this off again in the next 2 years unless there are major changes.

    Apple used to have M silicon trail A silicon architecture by a generation, this is the first year Apple has put them on the same level, its essentially 2 generations of architecture leap this year.

    M2 was on N5P, M3 is on N3B, that node difference alone can account for half of the uplift.

    I’d actually argue that M3 is underwhelming for what went into it, it also wasnt ‘one year’, but 16 months.
