Right, and this is quite impressive, since they haven't yet been able to go from 5nm to 3nm. So, by the time the M3 is out, it will be a great update for the M1. (And the M1 will still be awesome for people who don't need the bump.)

IDK that I'd count on node shrinks to provide anywhere near the performance/power saving bumps that it used to. We are pretty close to the point were smaller nodes will mean more power consumption with the same design merely due to the fact that smaller nodes mean more leakage due to electron tunneling.

This has been the story for years and we just keep solving the problems. Perhaps one day you’ll be right, but it won’t be N5 to N3.
