A better question is which (if any) ARM competitors can achieve comparable performance to M-series? I do understand Apple has tuned the entire platform from cpu/gpu, cache, unified memory, and software to achieve what they offer.

I think the challenge is going to be software, software tuning, and (until everyone builds for both ARM and x64) - translation/emulation. I’ll admit that I haven’t had much experience on the Windows side but I made the leap pretty quickly from the early 2015 MBP to an M1 MBA (like maybe a month after the M1 Macs came out) and it very much was seamless, whereas it still sounds like on the Windows on ARM side it’s been languishing even to this day.
