So the updated values on the original page are now:

> Intel/M1 ratio 1.2 0.9

> As you can see, the older Intel processor is slightly superior to the Apple M1 in the minify test.

I'd consider it as bigger news that M1 in one of the two tests chosen by the author (utf8) 10% faster than Intel, and in another (minify) only 20% slower, which is for most purposes something that most users won't even be able to notice. It's quite remarkable result. I'd surely write:

"As you can also see, in the UTF-8 validate test M1 is superior to older Intel processor, and in the minify test only 20% slower, even if Intel uses more power to calculate the result!"

(Additionally I use the opportunity to thank again to u/bacon_blood who verified the initial claims and u/messe who figured out what the remaining bug in the author sources was! Great work!)

(Edit: the ratio 1.16 is from older native measurement. So I've also made an error in the previous version of this comment! I've wrongly connected that with the Rosetta 2 produced code. I've deleted that part of this message. Still the difference between 1.07 and 0.9 measured on two different setups is interesting, when another test is close enough).

Yeah, the tone of the post still reflects the original results, and the update should be at the top for anyone returning to it later.

Still, glad this was caught.
