That performance difference is not due to architecture but process technology. Intel is on Intel' best node and Apple is on TSMC's.

No. The architecture is the biggest factor. Damn, even Jim Keller talks about how most programs use a very small subset of instructions. It isn't like RISC makes miracles, but sure helps them when your power budget is small.

That comparison is Intel 14nm vs. TSMC 5nm nodes. Please verify from the link. That's appx a one node difference. Intel fumbled the ball on EUV intro.
