I could care less about efficiency, it's still 2x faster for 2/3x less expensive. Isn't the m1 max tdp between 60 and 90w?

Well yes but ones a laptop chip with a 17 hour life and the other I’ve got under my desk heating my entire condo lol
If you could conceivably run a chip at a much higher TDP before hitting thermal limits you could get significantly more performance. Not that you can (probably) OC these chips at all but it suggests there may be more rabbits in the bag.
You're comparing a single CPU with a complete machine
Its 60-90w including GPU.
