Many people overstate Apple's achievement, in reality most credit should go to TSMC the company that manufactures the M1 chip.

The M1 is a 5nm chip, while the i9 is a 14nm chip! The M1 has about 16b transistor, the i9 has only about half of that amount.

Apple's only achievement here was to make a deal with TSMC in order to be the first one to use their 5nm technology.
